This four-volume collection of primary sources examines art in Scotland during the nineteenth century. During the nineteenth century, Scotland developed as a powerful industrial nation, eventually leading the world in areas such as textiles, shipbuilding and iron and steel production. As a result, a new generation of businessmen began to take an interest in buying art, as a symbol of their new-found wealth and status. The same period saw the establishment of art institutes and artists' societies in major centres such as Glasgow and Edinburgh, providing artists not only with opportunities to exhibit their work, but also to see the work of European artists. This period saw the transformation of Scottish art from a period when visual culture was dominated by a retrogressive, romanticised image of the nation, to the modern era, when Scotland's artists travelled abroad and embraced the latest avant-garde ideas, eventually enjoying an international reputation. Accompanied by extensive editorial commentary, this collection will be of great interest to students of Art History and Scottish History.

Professor Frances Fowle is the Chair of Nineteenth-Century Art at the University of Edinburgh and Senior Curator at the National Galleries of Scotland.

Following a period at the Yale Center for British Art in Connecticut, Professor John Morrison joined the Art History Department at the University of Aberdeen in 1992 and went to be Head of the School of Divinity, History and Philosophy. From July 2019 he became Head of the School of History and Heritage at the University of Lincoln.

Dr Freya Spoor is an art historian specialising in late nineteenth and early twentieth century Scottish and British art. She is a curator at the National Galleries of Scotland and co-curated the exhibition Lavery on Location on Glasgow Boy Sir John Lavery in 2024.

Dr Elizabeth Cumming is a historian of Scottish art and design since 1870 and an Honorary Professor at the University of Edinburgh.
