Description
These three paintings illustrate the new interest in the Scottish Highlands that developed around 1840-50 as the sports of grouse shooting and deer stalking became a fashionable recreation for the upper classes. Queen Victoria and Prince Albert led the vogue from their Scottish hunting lodge, Balmoral. Landseer painted a large number of sporting pictures of the Queen and her family in the Highlands. Perhaps more appealing are his small oil sketches of the Scottish landscape like the two shown here. The Northumbrian artist T.M. Richardson Jnr also frequently painted Scottish subjects.
