Note: David Gauld (7 November 1865 - 18 June 1936) was an important Scottish artist who worked in both oils and stained glass and was regarded as being one of the innovators within the Glasgow Boys group. Some of his works, such as St Agnes and Music are seen as precursors of the Art Nouveau movement. His works were seen as having both a Japanese and Pre-Raphaelite influence upon them. Gauld was born in Glasgow and served an apprenticeship as a lithographer and then attended Glasgow School of Art from 1882 to 1885. He came to public notice in the 1880s when he supplied a series of Japanese-influenced pen and ink drawings for the Glasgow Weekly Citizen. Gauld shared the Castlemains Studio in Kirkcudbright with William Stewart MacGeorge and then in later life shared a studio with Harrington Mann at 31 St Vincent Street in Glasgow from 1891 to 1894. During this time he designed stained glass windows for Guthrie and Wells. Gauld then took new premises at 138 West George Street in Glasgow. He also lived at various locations in Kirkcudbright, Glasgow and North Berwick. In 1889 he returned to the Glasgow School of Art and also studied in Paris for a period that year. Like other artists from Glasgow, Gauld spent time at the artists colony at Grez-sur-Loing in France Forty three examples of David Gauld's work are held in the collections of various UK public galleries including Glasgow Museums, The Hunterian, The Scottish National Gallery, Kelvingrove, Gracefield, Paisley, Kirkcaldy and The Fleming Collection.

  • Art & Design Collections
    Art & Design Collections 1 Introduction Glasgow Museums’ art collection is one of the finest in the UK. It consists of some 60,000 objects covering a wide range of media including paintings, drawings, prints, sculpture, metalwork, ceramics, glass, jewellery, furniture and textiles. It provides a comprehensive overview of the history of European art and design and includes masterpieces by major artists such as Rembrandt, Van Gogh, Whistler and Dali. The art from non-European cultures includes an internationally renowned collection of Chinese art. The development of the art collections began with the bequest in 1854 of 510 paintings by the Glasgow coachbuilder Archibald McLellan. He was a prolific collector of Italian, Dutch and Flemish art and his bequest included gems such as works by Botticelli and Titian. Other gifts and bequests followed, such as the collection of 70 paintings formed by the portraitist John Graham-Gilbert, which included Rembrandt’s famous Man in Armour. Glasgow’s massive expansion in the late nineteenth century saw the rise of an industrial elite who developed a taste for collecting art. Many were extremely discerning and knowledgeable and their gifts now form the backbone of the art collection. William McInnes, a shipping company owner, had a particular fondness for French art. His bequest in 1944 of over 70 paintings included work by Degas, Monet, Van Gogh, and Picasso. However, the greatest gift undoubtedly came from the shipping magnate Sir William Burrell. His collection of nearly 9,000 objects included a vast array of works of all periods from all over the world, including important medieval tapestries, stained glass, English oak furniture, European paintings and sculpture and important collections of Chinese and Islamic art.

Created some time between 1877 and 1881 by the barely thirty-year old Stephen Adam in collaboration with David Small, his partner in the studio he opened in Glasgow in 1870, these panels are unique among stained glass works of the time in that they depict the workers of the then independent burgh not for the most part in the practice of traditional trades (baker, weaver, flesher, cooper, hammerman, etc.) (see Pt.
