Overview

For some three hundred years, Scottish artists at their best have enjoyed a reputation for a strong engagement with contemporary international cultural and intellectual currents. Lavishly illustrated, this overview of The Hunterian's unparalleled Scottish collections explores a selection of works by some of the greatest figures in the nation's art, and celebrates the collectors whose enjoyment of these works and far-sighted generosity has shaped one of Scotland's finest art collections. Selected simply for their aesthetic merit, or for their contribution to the development of a distinctive Scottish school of Art, they also reflect some of the many radical social, historic and cultural changes the country has experienced since the eighteenth century.
