Description: | 86.0 x 72.0 CRE RAEBURN, Henry, Sir; (Scottish; 1758-1823) One of the most pre-eminent portrait painters of his generation, Raeburn was the first Scottish artist to earn an international reputation while working in his native
Scotland. His characteristic style comes from painting directly onto the canvas with a square brush, using emphatic broad strokes and a warm, almost ruddy palette, which produced a lively immediacy and
naturalness. John Scott of Gala was the son of Hugh Scott and Isabella Monro. Raeburn often worked for the Monro family and painted a portrait of the sitter?s
grandmother, Mrs Monro of Auchenbuie.This may be a fragment of a larger picture showing grandson and grandmother together. | License: | http://www.hmag.gla.ac.uk/spirit/rights/ | Publisher: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Rights holder: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Subjects: | PORTRAIT : FIGURE : MALE : CHILD : SCOTTISH 19TH CENTURY : | Source: | Hunterian Museum | Creator: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Identifier: | http://www.huntsearch.gla.ac.uk/cgi-bin/... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
