傑克·韋特里亞諾(Jack Vettriano,1951–2025)為蘇格蘭畫家,作品善於勾勒浪漫與孤寂交织的意境,深深打動全球觀眾。他原名傑克·霍根(Jack Hoggan),生於法夫郡梅斯爾,十五歲輟學後擔任礦務工程師,其後轉任管理服務相關工作。二十多歲時,一盒水彩顏料禮物點燃了他對繪畫的熱忱。韋特里亞諾為自學畫家,逐步建立起獨特的個人風格:畫面講究電影般的構圖與氛圍感十足的光影,經常描繪衣著典雅的人物,置身於曖昧或充滿親密感的場景之中。
1988年,他的兩幅作品在蘇格蘭皇家學院(Royal Scottish Academy)年度展覽開展當日便順利售出,成為其藝術生涯的重要轉捩點。此後,他先後於愛丁堡、倫敦、香港、約翰尼斯堡、紐約等地舉辦畫展。1992年,代表作《歌唱的管家》(The Singing Butler)成為英國最暢銷的藝術版畫之一,穩固了他在當代藝術界的地位。
縱然部分藝術評論家對其作品有所質疑,韋特里亞諾的創作依舊能引發大眾強烈共鳴。《無辜者》(The Innocents ,1993)、《壞男孩,好女孩》(Bad Boy, Good Girl ,1994)、《激情過後》(After The Thrill Is Gone,1994)等經典作品刻畫愛情、慾望與憂鬱等題材。他的畫作亦可見於書籍及影視等各類媒體,演員傑克·尼克遜(Jack Nicholson)、作詞人提姆·萊斯(Tim Rice)等知名人士皆是他的支持者。
為表彰其藝術成就,韋特里亞諾於2003年獲頒大英帝國官佐勳章(OBE),同時獲聖安德魯斯大學(University of St Andrews)頒授榮譽文學博士。他亦於該校設立獎學金,資助藝術領域的學子。
韋特里亞諾晚年定居法國尼斯,並於2025年當地辭世,享壽七十三歲。
