	Shepherd Essay
		Allan Ramsay (1686-1758) was a central figure in the first stage of the attempts to defend Scotland from England's cultural domination.
		Allan is not claiming that his designs will conflict with contemporary artistic standards, and that he will instead recourse to a more natural, vernacular style; he is justifying his use of aquatint, and then establishing the elevated qualities of his work.
		A comparison between Allan's images and those of other editions and with the etchings made by Paul Sandby, apparently after drawings by Allan in 1758 (when Allan was just fourteen years old; this was also the year in which Allan Ramsay died) brings out the strength of the former.

	Prince George Augustus of Mecklenburg-Strelitz by RAMSAY, Allan
		Allan Ramsay was official painter to George III and Queen Charlotte from the date of the accession in 1760, although technically he only succeeded John Shackleton as Principal Painter in Ordinary in 1767.
		Ramsay was born in Edinburgh and his artistic abilities were brought to the attention of George III, when still Prince of Wales, by the 3rd Earl of Bute who served as mentor to the future king.
		The portrait, which was presumably painted for Queen Charlotte, is a late work by Ramsay characterised by looser brushwork combined with the gentle colouring associated with the artist.

		Allan Ramsay was born in Leadhills in 1686.
		Allan asserted the claims of the humanities, the healthy worldliness, the firm foundation on which enduring life is built.

	Frontline: Queen Charlotte
		Sir Allan Ramsay was the artist responsible for the majority of the paintings of the Queen and his representations of her were the most decidedly African of all her portraits.
		It is perhaps because of this fairly obvious case of propagandistic portraiture that makes one suspect that Queen Charlotte's coronation picture, copies of which were sent out to the colonies, signified a specific stance on slavery held, at least, by that circle of the English intelligencia to which Allan Ramsay, the painter belonged.
		The Negroid characteristics of the Queen's portraits certainly had political significance since artists of that period were expected to play down, soften or even obliterate undesirable features in a subjects's face.
