Tour of Nineteenth Century Scottish Painting at the Scottish National Gallery

Deputy Director and Chief Curator Tricia Allerston introduces our display of nineteenth-century Scottish paintings at the Scottish National Gallery. This tour gives you an insight into some of the highlights of this part of the collection, including work by artists such as William McTaggart, Phoebe Anna Traquair, Arthur Melville and James Paterson. The nineteenth century was a hugely important century in the development of Scottish art. Here, Tricia describes how artists moved from a tradition of painting in the studio towards the greater freedom of painting outdoors. Facebook:   / nationalgall.  .
