This is the first illustrated scholarly work devoted to the
reception and reputation of Edinburgh's premier Enlightenment
portrait painter. Sir Henry Raeburn (1756-1823) is especially well
known in Scotland as the portrait painter of members of the
Scottish Enlightenment. However, outside Scotland, the artist
rarely makes more than a fleeting appearance in survey books about
portraiture. Ten international scholars recover Raeburn from his
artistic isolation by looking at his local and international
reception and reputation, both in his lifetime and posthumously. It
focuses as much on Edinburgh and Scotland as on metropolitan
markets and cosmopolitan contexts. Previously unpublished archival
material is brought to light for the first time, especially from
the Innes of Stow papers and the archives of the dukes of Hamilton.
It features 14 chapters, each looking at different aspects of
Raeburn's professional career. There are international scholars
contributing to Raeburn studies for the first time. It offers
interdisciplinary perspectives setting a new agenda for Raeburn
studies. It has traditional art analysis integrated with cultural,
social, political and economic history. It includes much
unpublished archival material.
