George Frederic Watts was widely considered to be the greatest painter of the Victorian era. A portraitist, sculptor, landscape painter and symbolist, Watts's work embodied the most pressing themes and ideas of the time, earning him the title "England's Michelangelo". He famously said the phrase, “I paint ideas, not things". During his last years Watts also turned to sculpture, completing his most famous work, Physical Energy, in 1902.
