Maxwell Gordon Lightfoot (19 July 1886 – 27 September 1911) was an artist and painter from Liverpool who became known for his depictions of atmospheric pastoral scenes and sepia illustrations of figures.
Lightfoot showed great talent as a student whilst at the Slade School of Art and when he exhibited with the Camden Town Group, but he took his own life at a young age.
His obituary in The Times stated, 'All artists and critics....
were united in believing that Lightfoot would have a most distinguished career in the highest rank of painting.'
