Description: | The artist Thomas Faed recorded that this scene shows 'old Douglas', who has emigrated from the Scottish Highlands. He sits on the shore of Lake Ontario in Canada, thinking of his old home on the shores of Ben Durach. The picture illustrates the poem 'The Exile's Song' by the Scottish writer Robert Gilfillan. Many Scottish crofters emigrated in the 19th century after landowners turned over large areas to sheep grazing. Faed specialised in pictures of Scottish life. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | beyond the North East art movement artists oil paintings art men | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
