Description: | Edinburgh University's Fine Art Collections have been built up over its four hundred year history and includes watercolours, oils, prints, engravings, sculptures and busts. Both abstract and figurative traditions are well represented and the Fine Art Collections are notable for their emphasis on Scottish art. This includes an extensive collection of historical and contemporary Scottish portraits featuring major historical figures, famous Scots and past principals and professors of the University. Modern Scottish art is also well represented with a significant collection of works by William Johnstone and featuring works by many others including Joan Eardley, Anne Redpath, James Cowie, Elizabeth Blackadder, FCB Cadell, SJ Peploe, David Foggie, William MacTaggart, Paul Furneaux and Barbara Rae. Another area of strength in the collections is Dutch and Flemish art of the 17th and 18th centuries. In more recent years, the strength of the collection has also grown in the area of British art in general, with acquisitions of works by artists such as William Nicholson, Henry Lintott and Glyn Philpot. | Subjects: | Sculptures Bronzes Engravings Flemish Art Fine Art Dutch Artists Prints Oil paintings Watercolours Dutch Art Scottish Artists Scottish Art Portraits Flemish Artists Busts | Temporal: | 20th century | Source: | Collections Trust | Address: | George Square,
