The creative direction of his life was already prefigured by his family history. As the son of the engraver and publisher Daniel Lizars and brother of the renowned surgeon John Lizars, it stood to reason that William would also develop artistically. His father, who had learned his craft from Andrew Bell, was his first source of inspiration and his teacher in the secrets of engraving. But his artistic journey would take him even further, to the Trustees' Academy in Edinburgh, where he studied alongside the legendary Sir David Wilkie.
The year 1812 marked a turning point in Lizars' life. After his father's death, he took over the family engraving and copperplate printing business to provide for his mother and family. He nurtured young artists such as Horatio McCulloch and Daniel Macnee and worked in one of the creative hubs of the day, the printing center in St James Square, Edinburgh. His particular gift, which he perfected, was an etching technique that replaced woodcut for book illustrations. Each of his artworks bore the unmistakable mark of this master of engraving. One of the most remarkable chapters in Lizars' life began in 1826, when he met John James Audubon in Edinburgh. They bonded over a shared love of nature and art, which eventually led to the publication of Audubon's Birds of America, a project that began in Lizars' print shop, although it was later moved to London. A famous portrait of Audubon, painted by John Syme, was commissioned by Lizars and now graces the White House.
Despite all his successes and the founding of the Royal Scottish Academy, Lizars' final art legacy remains unfinished. He died on March 30, 1859, leaving a void in the art world that could only be filled by his impressive artistic legacy. His resting place is in St. Cuthbert's Churchyard in Edinburgh, next to his brother John. We as a company are dedicated to preserving this legacy through the production of fine art prints of Lizars' work. Each of our fine art prints is a tribute to Lizars' distinctive style and masterful engraving technique. We strive to express the vibrancy of his art in each art print, keeping the memory of this great Scottish artist alive. His work continues to inspire generations of art lovers and creators, and through our work, we help ensure that his influence continues to be felt.
