About Us (Watts)
George Frederick Watts (1817-1903) was a Victorian artist of international importance, whose work continues to have similar appeal to that of the Classicists or some Pre-Raphaelites. One of the most singular and enigmatic figures of the time, he has been called 'the Victorian Michaelangelo'. The art works on this site represent a significant record of Watts’ work during his life. Profits from the sale of prints on this site contribute to the continued upkeep of the memorial Watts Gallery. This Gallery, in Compton near Guildford, is dedicated to the life of GF Watts and contains many examples of his work. The Gallery is thought of with love and affection in this country and abroad. The international significance of the collection, the beauty of the building and its setting and its extraordinary role as a national gallery in the heart of a village has been recognised by the Heritage Lottery Fund. Watts was born in London, the son of an ordinary family, and retained a sympathetic view of the urban poor. His social paintings remain very touching and effective evocations of the depth of suffering and deprivation of the poor at that time. Watts ploughed his own furrow and was not part of any ‘school’ or ‘group’. He was one of the leading portrait painters of his day and often painted portraits for free and donated them to the National Portrait Gallery. In his landscape works, Watts perspectives and spectacular use of light would do credit to Turner. But it was his strong and mysterious allegorical pictures that were probably the most important to the artist himself. In later life he took up sculpture and produced many outstanding works.
