Lucian Freud is widely regarded as one of the most significant figurative painters of the 20th century. The son of architect Ernst Freud and grandson of renowned psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud, he gained international acclaim for his raw, psychological interpretations of the human form. His portraits—depicting lovers, friends, family members, and prominent figures such as David Hockney, Kate Moss, and Queen Elizabeth II—are characterized by their unflinching realism, rich textures, and masterful use of color. Freud’s deeply introspective approach captures the vulnerability and complexity of his subjects, making his work both intimate and profoundly expressive.His influence has been celebrated through major retrospectives at esteemed institutions such as the Royal Academy of Arts, Tate Britain, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. His paintings are housed in the collections of the Art Institute of Chicago, the Museum of Modern Art, the Centre Pompidou, and the National Gallery of Australia, among others. On the secondary market, Freud’s works frequently command prices exceeding $10 million, cementing his legacy as one of the most sought-after artists of his era.
