William Baxter Collier Fyfe (1836-1882) was a Scottish genre and portrait painter. He was born at Dundee in 1836. He became at an early age a student of the Royal Scottish Academy, and exhibited his first picture of importance, Queen Mary resigning her Crown at Loch Leven Castle, in the Exhibition of 1861; but this was surpassed in later years by The Raid of Ruthven. In 1863 he settled in London, and from that time onward was busily engaged with portraiture, which he varied with landscapes and genre subjects of interest and merit. Some of his most important portraits are those of the Earl and Countess of Dufferin, Admiral Grenfell, Alderman Sir William McArthur, Dr. Lorimer, and John Faed, R.S.A. He died suddenly at his residence in St John's Wood, London in 1882.5

  • William Baxter Collier Fyfe (1836 — 1882) foi um pintor britânico, integrante do realismo. Importante na sua época, a sua pintura retrata cenas e acontecimentos históricos e a vida quotidiana das classes mais precárias da sociedade londrina, metrópole na qual vivia com a sua família. Pintou ali uma das suas melhores obras: The flower girl, na tradução para português A vendedora de flores. Nesta obra Fyfe retrata a beleza de uma jovem vendedora de flores nas ruas de Londres. A sua pintura é pautada pelas inspirações vitorianas, com grande recorrência a cores claras e límpidas, contrastantes com cores fortes e vibrantes, algo também típico do realismo britânico. Fez várias incursões à Escócia, onde realizou grande parte da sua obra. Morreu precocemente, com a idade de 46 anos. (pt)
