Alexander Carse (1770-1843) was a pupil of David Allan and was sometimes known as ‘the Teniers of Scotland’. His humour and subject matter influenced the young David Wilkie. Sir D Y Cameron (1865-1945) was the patriarch of Scottish landscape painters and etchers during the final years of the nineteenth and early decades of the twentieth century. Between the two artists exists over a century of art – painting, drawing, etching and architecture – which followed on from the Scottish Enlightenment and which makes Scottish art so distinctive from both its island and continental counterparts.
