	Alexander Nasmyth
		Alexander Nasmyth was born in the Grassmarket, Edinburgh, the son of a successful builder.
		Nasmyth along with his near contemporary Jacob More (1740-1798), began to see the full expressive potential of landscape painting and the possibility which it offered to articulate the link between a nation's history and culture and its countryside.
		It was Nasmyth's gift that he seemed able to combine the two elements, the decorative and the expressive, to create pictures which were both accurate depictions of a location - true to the spirit and the look of the place - and which still obeyed the aesthetic rules.

	Biography of NASMYTH, Alexander - Anthony Woodd Gallery
		Alexander Nasmyth was the first eminent Scottish artist to contrite on landscape; immediately before him only Allan Ramsay, in the field of portraiture, has become an established artist and most of the latter’s output was produced south of the border.
		When Nasmyth died in 1840 Sir David Wilkie wrote ‘He was the founder of the Landscape Painting School of Scotland, and by his taste and talent has for many years taken the lead in the patriotic aim of enriching his native land with the representations of her romantic scenery’.
		Alexander Nasmyth ranks as the most important conventional landscape painter in Scotland and was the first to portray a feeling for Nature in the Highlands.
