Walter Sickert

Walter Sickert was a British painter and printmaker active from the late 19th to early 20th century. Known for his realistic and often moody depictions of urban scenes, performers, and interiors, he played a significant role in the transition from Impressionism to modern art. Sickert’s work often explored themes of everyday life, and he was associated with the Camden Town Group, a community of British artists. He’s also notable for his influence on later artists, including the speculation that he may have inspired or been connected to the Jack the Ripper case, though this remains unproven.
