Sir Edwin Landseer's Rent-Day in the Wilderness, 1868 Art Appreciation Lecture Series 2015 Meet the Masters: Highlights from the Scottish National Gallery Sir Edwin Landseer’s Rent-day in the Wilderness, 1868 Alison Inglis 26/27 August 2015 Lecture summary: This lecture will examine Sir Edwin Landseer’s late work, Rent-day in the Wilderness, 1868. In addition to placing this painting in the context of Landseer’s career as one of the leading artists of the Victorian era, the lecture will also consider the work from a number of different perspectives, including the significance of the subject matter and the role of the patron; the shift from history painting to historical genre painting during the early nineteenth century; the influence of Sir Walter Scott on the depiction of Scottish subject matter; and Landseer’s reputation as a celebrated animal painter.

  • Three Centuries of British Art
    Three Centuries of British Art Three Centuries of British Art Friday 30th September – Saturday 22nd October 2011 Shepherd & Derom Galleries in association with Nicholas Bagshawe Fine Art, London Campbell Wilson, Aberdeenshire, Scotland Moore-Gwyn Fine Art, London EIGHTEENTH CENTURY cat. 1 Francis Wheatley, ra (1747–1801) Going Milking Oil on Canvas; 14 × 12 inches Francis Wheatley was born in Covent Garden in London in 1747. His artistic training took place first at Shipley’s drawing classes and then at the newly formed Royal Academy Schools. He was a gifted draughtsman and won a number of prizes as a young man from the Society of Artists. His early work consists mainly of portraits and conversation pieces. These recall the work of Johann Zoffany (1733–1810) and Benjamin Wilson (1721–1788), under whom he is thought to have studied. John Hamilton Mortimer (1740–1779), his friend and occasional collaborator, was also a considerable influence on him in his early years. Despite some success at the outset, Wheatley’s fortunes began to suffer due to an excessively extravagant life-style and in 1779 he travelled to Ireland, mainly to escape his creditors. There he survived by painting portraits and local scenes for patrons and by 1784 was back in England. On his return his painting changed direction and he began to produce a type of painting best described as sentimental genre, whose guiding influence was the work of the French artist Jean-Baptiste Greuze (1725–1805). Wheatley’s new work in this style began to attract considerable notice and in the 1790’s he embarked upon his famous series of The Cries of London – scenes of street vendors selling their wares in the capital.

  • An Ecorché Study of the Head of a Horse Black, Red and White Chalk on Blue-Grey Paper
    Sir Edwin Landseer An Ecorché Study of the Head of a Horse Black, red and white chalk on blue-grey paper. A sketch of a lion and the torso of a youth in pencil on the verso. 500 x 310 mm. (19 3/8 x 12 1/4 in.) ACQUIRED BY THE SNITE MUSEUM OF ART, UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME, SOUTH BEND, INDIANA. Throughout his life, Edwin Landseer made countless studies and sketches of animals, in oil, watercolour, chalk and pencil. Most of these are unrelated to his larger finished paintings, and seem to have been done as exercises or to capture the appearance of an unusual animal or breed. This magnificent ecorché study of the head of a horse is among the finest of a small but significant group of anatomical studies of animals dating from the early years of Landseer’s independent career, which the artist kept among the contents of his studio until his death. Landseer had begun his formal training in 1815 with the painter Benjamin Robert Haydon, who encouraged his young pupil to study the anatomy of various animals. Seven years later, Haydon recalled in his diary that Landseer ‘dissected animals under my eye, copied my anatomical drawings, and carried my principles of study into animal painting! His genius, thus tutored, has produced solid & satisfactory results.’ Haydon felt, however, that in later years Landseer did not credit the elder artist’s support and influence, noting in a diary entry of February 1824 that, ‘The higher a man is gifted by nature, the less willing he is always to acknowledge any obligation to any other being, however just or decent.

  • C.1986 GB584/WM Name of Creator: William Mctaggart RS
    MIDLOTHIAN COUNCIL ARCHIVES WILLIAM MCTAGGART FAMILY COLLECTION c.1880 – c.1986 GB584/WM Name of Creator: William McTaggart RSA (1835-1910) and family Physical Description: 9 boxes or 12 square metres Biographical history: William McTaggart RSA (1835-1910) was one of the most celebrated Scottish painters of the late nineteenth century. He is regarded as one of the great interpreters of the Scottish landscape and is often described as the ‘Scottish Impressionist’. McTaggart was skilled in the use of both oil and watercolour, and in addition to Kintyre seascapes he also painted landscapes and seascapes in Midlothian and East Lothian. McTaggart was twice married: first to Mary Brochlan Holmes (1837-1884), with whom he had six children; and secondly to Marjory Henderson (1856-1936), with whom he had another nine children. William McTaggart lived at Dean Park house in Bonnyrigg between 1889 to his death on 2 April 1910. The collection also contains material specifically relating to his fifth daughter by his second marriage, Eliza or ‘Betty’ McTaggart (1896-1986). Betty became an accomplished artist in her own right and seems to have worked at Canongate nursery school, Edinburgh in the early 1950s. An article about Betty McTaggart’s sketchbooks of children at Cowgate nursery school appeared in the Edinburgh Evening News in January 2012. Several responses were received from former pupils at the nursery who are named in some of Betty McTaggart’s sketches. They confirmed that they attended the school in the early 1950s which suggests that Betty McTaggart worked there at that time. Scope and Content: The collection consists of 4 photograph albums and 51 photographs of William McTaggart RSA and his family, 3 miscellaneous photographs, and c.200 monochrome photographic reproductions of paintings by William McTaggart.

Introduction Winston Churchill once claimed that “of all the small nations of this earth, perhaps only the ancient Greeks surpass the Scots in their contribution to mankind.”1 Scotland has produced a plethora of important writers, philosophers, historians, and scientists. During the Enlightenment, Scotland’s capital, Edinburgh, was called the “Athens of the north,”2 a tribute to the number of influential figures who lived or were educated there during the eighteenth century. Such famous and significant figures as David Hume, Andrew Carnegie, Alexander Graham Bell, Dr. David Livingstone, Sir Walter Scott, and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle were Scottish. Despite influence of Scotland’s famous progeny, the country is not known for its contributions to the sciences and the arts. Instead, the mention of Scotland brings to most minds such things as kilts, tartan, bagpipes, clanship, and other tourist images that were primarily Highland customs before the eighteenth century. This vision of a timeless Celtic Scotland is in opposition to the reality that existed before the eighteenth century.

Emigration on an unprecedented scale transformed, within a generation, a society that had endured for hundreds of years. As the biggest movement of population in British history it was superficially rich with material for the genre or history painter, combining themes of displacement, homelessness, and noble suffering, yet themes of emigration were sparingly used by nineteenth-century British artists. In a narrative sense the subject lacked resolution and rarely offered the opportunity for the introduction of any conciliatory sentimentality or pathos. Furthermore, it resisted compression into a single effective image; the emigrant experience was just too broad and, in a sense, unpainterly.
