Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An edited volume devoted to the reception and reputation of Edinburgh's premier Enlightenment portrait painter.Sir Henry Raeburn (1756-1823) is especially well known in Scotland as the portrait painter of members of the Scottish Enlightenment. However, outside Scotland, the artist rarely makes more than a fleeting appearance in survey books about portraiture. A review of the most recent exhibition devoted to the artist held in Edinburgh and London during 1997/8, noted that it wears the aspect of a closure rather than a new dawn' in Raeburn studies, with the painter being shown 'in solitary splendour'.This volume seeks to recover Raeburn from his artistic isolation by looking at his local and international reception and reputation, both in his lifetime and posthumously. It focuses as much on Edinburgh and Scotland as on metropolitan markets and cosmopolitan contexts. Previously unpublished archival material will be brought to light for the first time, especially from the Innes of Stow papers and the archives of the dukes of Hamilton.Key Features* 14 chapters each looking at different aspects of Raeburn's professional career* International scholars contributing to Raeburn studies for the first time* Interdisciplinary perspectives setting a new agenda for Raeburn studies* Traditional art analysis integrated with cultural, social, political and economic history* Includes much unpublished archival materialKeywordsScotland, Raeburn, Enlightenment, portraiture, art, patronage, taste, collecting

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sir Henry Raeburn (1756-1823) is one of the most universally admired and best loved of all Scottish painters. His work defines the society of which he himself was such a distinguished part. Through his eyes we still see those who graced the social and intellectual world of Scotland in the later years of the Scottish Enlightenment. Redolent of the world which Raeburn painted are the dramatic portraits of judges, like the crotchety Lord Eldin and the eloquent Lord Newton, the writer Sir Walter Scott, and the geologist James Hutton. But Raeburn had a gentler, more domestic side, as typified by the profound and touching sentiment of the double portrait of Sir John and Lady Clerk of Penicuik and his appealing portraits of children. Together with the portrait of the skating minister Reverend Robert Walker, arguably now one of the most famous paintings in the world, his paintings light up a whole society in a way that is unparalleled.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sir Henry Raeburn: A Selection From His Portraits Men's Sight than one of the half-dozen true royalties of art - is a fact that should astonish nobody. Portraiture, indeed, is probably the most popular, being certainly the most 'interesting, ' of all the departments of painting; and from Holbein downwards through the centuries, its practitioners amongst us have lacked neither oppor tunity nor recognition in their lives, and in their deaths have been remembered and esteemed with an enthusiasm sometimes wholly dispr0portionate to their deserts. For one or another reason Romney commands a higher price than Van Dyck, unless Van Dyck be at his very best; while you could furnish a gallery with Lelys and Knellers, and have something over to spend in Raeburns, for the cost of a single Gainsborough. This, of course, is fame - fame of a kind; but the fame of Raeburn is far other in type, and rests on very different grounds. He has neither Romney's sentiment' nor Gainsborough's charm his achievement is largely wanting in that purely personal' quality so dear to the British mind, and is touched with scarce a vestige of that imperfect, or 'wholly individual', craftsmanship so near to the British heart. It is sane in ambition, severe in style, distinguished in method, nothing if not artistic in effect. For all such qualities as 'latent poetry of suggestiveness', as 'exquisite yet lofty subjee tivity', as passionate yet almost morbific subtlety of vision and realization - for them and their like, I say, you must look elsewhere than here. He was content to be a painter, and to invest his work with the unpopular yet sovereign element of style. Fashion.
