This painting has been sold.
Alexander Nasmyth is generally regarded as the most important Scottish landscape painter. He was born on September 1758 in the family home in the Grassmarket, Edinburgh and studied in London and Italy and influenced many Scottish artists - not least several of his own children, eight of whom are recognised as artists in their own right.
A founder member of the Society of Associated Artists of Edinburgh, with whom he exhibited 1808-1814, Nasmyth also showed works at the Royal Institute 1821-1830 (he became an associate in 1825) and at the Royal Scottish Academy 1830-1840., being elected an Honorary Member in 1834. In London he was a member of the Royal Society of British Artists and of the British Institute from 1801-1839. He exhibited nine pictures at the Royal Academy 1813-1826 and at other provincial exhibitions.
