Jack Vettriano, the self-taught Scottish painter best known for the work "The Singing Butler", has died aged 73, his publicist said on Monday.
Vettriano was found dead at his apartment in the southern French city of Nice on Saturday. Local media said there were no suspicious circumstances around his death.
"He was not only an extraordinary artist but also a deeply private and humble man who was endlessly grateful for the support and admiration of those who loved his work," Vettriano's publicist Jack Freud said in a statement.
"His paintings - capturing moments of intrigue, romance, and nostalgia - touched the hearts of so many around the world, and his legacy will live on through them".
