Jack Vettriano's "The Singing Butler" is one of the world's most sought-after works of art. In 2004, the painting, which features the romantic image of a couple dancing on a storm-swept beach, was auctioned at Scotland Sotheby's for a record $1.3 million. One of England’s most popular artists, Vettriano is known for working tirelessly for days on end until a painting is completed. 
"Dance Me to the End of Love" typifies Jack Vettriano's work: noirish dramas with dashing men and glamorous women, all smoldering with underlying narrative. Nicknamed the “People’s Painter,” the self-taught Vettriano is one of Britain's most popular and successful living artists. Vettriano's use of light—whether sunlight or haze— absorbs viewers into his artworks' atmosphere and storyline. 
Jack Vettriano’s melancholy “In Thoughts of You” tells an intriguing story in his signature atmospheric style. Needing to feel emotionally uncomfortable in order to paint his cool, mysterious creations, Vettriano says that he often achieves this state while listening to Leonard Cohen’s requiems. Nicknamed “The People’s Painter,” the self-taught Vettriano is Britain’s most popular and successful living artist, whose sales set a record at Sotheby’s.
