Painter. Lucian Michael Freud was born Berlin, Germany. In 1933 his family moved with him to England to escape the Nazis. Grandson of Sigmund, brother of Clement. He was appointed a Companion of Honour in 1983, and a member of the Order of Merit in 1993.

His Wikipedia page gives much details of his life and confirms that he died, aged 88 years, on 20 July 2011. His body was buried in Highgate Cemetery West, Swain's Lane, London, N6 6PJ.
