English painter, sculptor and President of the Royal Academy of Arts, Frederic, Lord Leighton (1830 -1896) was arguably the finest draughtsman of his time. His former home and studio is now open to the public as the Leighton House Museum.
The Leighton Drawings Project aimed to catalogue, conserve, photograph and exhibit the collection of almost 700 drawings by Leighton at Leighton House Museum. It was carried out between 2005 and 2007 with the support of the Heritage Lottery Fund. The fully illustrated catalogue can be accessed through the Leighton Drawings Project website, along with a database of all Leighton drawings in other public collections worldwide, created with the support of the Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art.
