The Singing Butler Print

Discover The Singing Butler in this Articlesfactory page devoted to this famous oil painting on canvas by Jack Vettriano.

The Singing Butler is the finest work from the career of Jack Vettriano so far, and this page covers the painting in full as well as tackling some of the other paintings by this self-taught painter from Scotland.
The original sold for an exceptional £744,800 when it was placed at a Sotheby's action in spring 2004. This was a new record, but quite a distance and it helped to put Jack to the top of the tree in terms of living British artists.

It is generally accepted that Vettriano was inspired most by artists such as Salvador Dali, Caravaggio and Monet. Vettriano in fact researched large numbers of textbooks in order to locate the necessary topics for study which he was later able to construct completely himself.

As well as his best known work, The Singing Butler, Vettriano also produced The Missing Man II, In Thoughts of You, The Picnic Party II, Mad Dogs, Elegy for a Dead Admiral, Contemplation of Betrayal, And So to Bed, Bad Boy, Her Secret Life, Just Another Day, Blades, The Temptress, On Parade, Beautiful Dreamer, Queen of Diamonds II, Dance Me to the End of Love, The Billy Boys, Dancer in Emerald and Summer Days.
For those sold on the ability of Vettriano and his The Singing Butler work, you are likely to also enjoy painters like David Hockney, William JMW Turner, John Constable, George Stubbs, Thomas Gainsborough and Joshua Reynolds.
