The Monarch of the Glen by Sir Edwin Landseer (1802 1873) is one of
the most celebrated paintings of the nineteenth century. It was
acquired by the National Galleries of Scotland in 2017. In this new
book, the first to focus in detail on this iconic picture,
Christopher Baker explores its complex and fascinating history. He
places Landseer's work in the context of the artist's meteoric
career, considers the circumstances of its high-profile commission
and its extraordinary subsequent reputation. When so much Victorian
art fell out of fashion, Landseer's Monarch took on a new role as
marketing image, bringing it global recognition. It also inspired
the work of many other artists, ranging from Sir Bernard Partridge
and Ronald Searle to Sir Peter Blake and Peter Saville. Today the
picture has an intriguing status, being seen by some as a splendid
celebration of Scotland's natural wonders and by others as an
archaic trophy. This publication will make a significant
contribution to the debates that it continues to stimulate. The
painting will tour to four Scottish venues in late 2017 and early
2018 (Inverness Museum & Art Gallery, 6 October - 19 November
2017; Perth Museum and Art Gallery, 25 November 2017 - 14 January
2018; Paisley Museum and Art Gallery, 20 January - 11 March 2018;
Kirkcudbright Galleries, 25 March - 12 May 2018).
