About the Item
Alkyd-oil on Masonite board, 102cm x 83cm, (124cm x 104cm framed). The painting comes directly from the artist.
Michael Leonard is most probably most famous for his portrait of HM Queen Elizabeth II, in the National Portrait Gallery in London. However, the nude, particularly the male nude, has been a recurring theme in his work. “I am fascinated by the subtle interactions of muscle, bone and sinew that come into play as a body moves… My figures are usually on the move or in a state of transition but even when they are at rest dynamism is provided by the design of the picture...” This work is one of the last male nudes he painted prior to retiring from painting. Over a period of 40 years, Leonard only painted approximately 50 male nudes. Never very prolific as an artist, his work is highly prized and collected internationally. He retired from painting in 2009.
