Description: | oil painting
A head and shoulders portrait of James Hadow, Principal and ex officio Professor of Divinity of St Mary's College 1707-1747 and Professor of Divinity there 1699-1707. Hadow is depicted wearing a black gown and reading from a book, pointing to a page headed 'Esaias'.
Dates based on Hadow's time as Principal: presumably the picture is contemporary.
Information on artist from Cant's catalogue: Cant queried the artist.
William Aikman, 1682-1731, painted portraits in oils and was also an etcher. He had a brief stay in London and returned to Scotland in 1711, where he became the Scotland's leading portrait painter.
William's son, John Aikman (1713-1731) was a figure painter. The only known works are studies of heads. | Publisher: | University of St Andrews | Rights holder: | 47795 | Subjects: | PORTRAIT DIVINITY PROFESSOR painting ARCHERY COMPETITION PRINCIPAL | Temporal: | 1707/1747 | Source: | University of St Andrews | Creator: | AIKMAN, William | Identifier: | HC180 | Language: | en-GB |
