About the painting
Cocktails & Broken Hearts is set in a late-night bar, its figures gathered at the counter in low, smoky light. The title hints at the stories behind the drinks.
The original oil on canvas was painted in 1998 and shown in Between Darkness and Dawn, Vettriano's exhibition that year. It was later included in Jack Vettriano: A Retrospective at Kelvingrove Art Gallery & Museum, Glasgow (2013–2014).

About Jack Vettriano
Jack Vettriano was born in St Andrews in 1951 and grew up in Methil, Fife. He left school at sixteen and taught himself to paint, studying the works in Kirkcaldy's gallery after being given a set of watercolours for his twenty-first birthday. When he sent two paintings to the Royal Scottish Academy's annual exhibition in 1988, both sold on the first day, and his career as a professional painter began.
Vettriano's paintings are known for their cinematic atmosphere: men and women in evening dress, beaches under heavy skies, quiet rooms where something has just happened or is about to. He was appointed OBE in 2003, and a major retrospective of his work was held at Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum in Glasgow in 2013 and 2014.
