| | David Scott (painter) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | David Scott (October, 1806 - March 5, 1849), Scottish historical painter, brother of William Bell Scott, was born at Edinburgh, and studied art under his father, Robert Scott, the engraver. |
 | | In 1828 he exhibited his first oil picture, the "Hopes of Early Genius dispelled by Death," which was followed by "Cain, Nimrod, Adam and Eve singing their Morning Hymn," "Sarpedon carried by Sleep and Death," and other subjects of a poetic and imaginative character. |
 | | Two of these-the "Monograms of Man" and the illustrations to Coleridge's Ancient Mariner were etched by his own hand, and published in 1831 and 1837 respectively, while his subjects from the Pilgrim's Progress and Nichol's Architecture of the Heavens were issued after his death. |
