  • David Wilkie Wynfield (1837 – 26 May 1887) was a British painter and photographer. Wynfield was distantly related to the Scottish artist David Wilkie, after whom he was named. Born in India, he was originally intended by his family for the priesthood, but instead chose art as a profession. He studied at Leigh's art school in the 1850s and his first painting was accepted for the Royal Academy summer exhibition in 1859. Wynfield associated with a group of other artists who became known as the St. John's Wood Clique. Their work typically took the form of anecdotal historical narratives. Wynfield himself painted many works set in Medieval or Renaissance Europe, concentrating on romantic problems of couples. In the 1860s Wynfield became interested in photography. He developed a technique of shallow-focus portrait photography which he passed on to Julia Margaret Cameron, who later acknowledged him as the main influence on her own work, writing that "to my feeling about his beautiful photography I owed all my attempts and indeed consequently all my success". Many of Wynfield's photographs portrayed members of the St. John's Wood Clique and their friends in fancy dress. The combination of soft focus, close-up, large-format print and historical costumes produced a photographic style that was completely original at the time. Wynfield was attempting to imitate the painterly effects of old master artists such as Titian, using the new medium. A selection of the photographs was published in 1864 as a book entitled The Studio: A Collection of Photographic Portraits of Living Artists, Taken in the Style of Old Masters, by an Amateur. As with many of the subjects of his photographs Wynfield served in The Artists' Rifles. He reached the rank of Captain and was commanding 'H' Company in 1880. In his autobiography his friend Henry Stacy Marks said that Wynfield died of consumption. He was buried on the western side of Highgate Cemetery. His grave (no.27522) has no headstone or marker.

  • David Wilkie Wynfield (1837-1887) fue un pintor, escultor y fotógrafo británico. Wynfield era un pariente lejano del artista escocés David Wilkie, del que recibió su nombre. Nacido en la India, en principio su familia esperaba que se ordenara sacerdote, pero David decidió convertir el arte en su profesión. Estudió en la escuela de arte Leigh´s en la década de 1850 y su primera obra fue aceptada para la exhibición veraniega de 1859 de la Royal Academy de Londres. Wynfield se asoció con un grupo de otros artistas que serían conocidos como el St. John's Wood Clique. Su obra normalmente consistió en representaciones de anécdotas históricas narrativas. Pintó muchas de sus obras en escenarios medievales o renacentistas de Europa, concentrándose en conflictos románticos de la literatura. En la década de 1860 Wynfield comenzó a interesarse en la fotografía. Desarrolló una técnica fotográfica para retratos que enseñó a Julia Margaret Cameron, que posteriormente reconocería la influencia de su mentor: "mi más profundo respeto hacia sus hermosas fotografías y a él reconozco toda mi carrera y mi éxito consecuente."​ En sus fotografías Wynfield retrató a miembros del St. John's Wood Clique y a sus amigos disfrazados. La combinación de luz suave, proximidad, formato de impresión y trajes histórico se combinaron para crear un estilo fotográfico completamente original en la época.​ Wynfield trataba de imitar los efectos pictóricos de los pintores clásicos como Tiziano utilizando la fotografía.​ Una selección de sus fotografías fue publicada en 1864 en un libro titulado: The Studio: A Collection of Photographic Portraits of Living Artists, Taken in the Style of Old Masters, by an Amateur. (El estudio: Una colección de retratos fotográficos de artistas vivos al estilo de los viejos maestros, por un aficionado). * Wikimedia Commons alberga una categoría multimedia sobre David Wilkie Wynfield.
