Caustic wit, man-about-town James McNeill Whistler was the original art star, revolutionising the art world in his time and beyond. Famed for the ground-breaking portrait of his mother, compared to Velazquez and Rembrandt and placed in the first rank of modern painters, Whistler, by the time of his death had become one of the most recognised artists in all of Europe.
