About the painting
Yesterday's Dreams has a reflective, bittersweet title that sums up much of Vettriano's appeal. His paintings are steeped in memory and nostalgia, for a style of dressing, dancing and romance that belongs to another era, and for the hopes people once had for themselves. The title suggests looking back on a life, or a love, and wondering what became of it.
It is a picture with a quiet, contemplative mood rather than overt drama, and at its full original size it holds the room with ease. It suits a living room, a dining room or anywhere you want a painting that invites a second look.

Framing, display and care
Premium editions like this are presented in a different way from a standard paper print. The image is printed at the same size as the original painting, board mounted and finished by hand with three coats of lacquer, which gives a satin surface closer to that of a canvas than a sheet of paper. It arrives in the same style of frame used for original work, with no white border and no glass over the image, so it is ready to hang as soon as it is unpacked. Because there is no glazing, choose its position with care: away from direct sunlight, kitchens, open fires and smoke. A light dusting with a soft, dry brush or cloth is all the surface needs; never use water, sprays or cleaning products on it.

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.
