Vettriano, Jack (1951- ) - 2004 The Parlour of Tempation
Jack Vettriano OBE born Jack Hoggan is a Scottish painter. Vettriano's breakthrough year was 1988, when he submitted two canvases for the Royal Scottish Academy annual show. Both paintings sold on the first day and Vettriano was approached by several galleries who wanted to sell his other work. Further successful exhibitions followed in Edinburgh, London, Hong Kong, Johannesburg, and New York. His paintings are reminiscent of the film noir genre, often with romantic or nude themes.
His original paintings now regularly fetch six figure prices, but he is thought to make more money from the sale of reproductions. According to The Guardian, he earns £500,000 a year in print royalties.
