Five Centuries of Scottish Art
Regular price £35.00A celebration of Scotland's singular place in the history of art and examines how the twists and turns of its specific history have influenced the remarkable work produced by the nation's painters and printmakers.
Starting at the Court of James III, the narrative weaves its way through the Reformation, the Enlightenment, Victorian Scotland, the 20th century and the years following the Millennium.
Bringing together first-class scholarship and over 350 beautiful reproductions of key works by a wide-range of artists, the book reveals the depth and breadth of Scotland's artistic heritage and its distinctive artistic identity. Looking beyond Scotland, Duncan Macmillan also makes the case for a distinctive Scottish artistic tradition which, while it reflects Scotland's particular political, social and cultural history, both belongs in, and has contributed to, the wider history of European art.
