Résumé :
Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. George Paul Chalmers (1833-1878) was a Scottish painter. He was born at Montrose, and studied at Trustees Academy in Edinburgh under Robert Scott Lauder . He turned to landscapes later in his career, instead of the portraits which formed his earlier work. The best of these are The End of the Harvest (1873), Running Water (1875), and The Legend (in the National Gallery, Edinburgh). He became an associate (1867) and a full member (1871) of the Royal Scottish Academy. His life was cut tragically short in 1878 when he was assaulted and died as a result of his injuries. He died firmly established as one the most important Scottish artists of his period. He and his work were celebrated in a sizeable volume written and edited by Edward Pinnington: George Paul Chalmers, R.S.A., and the Art of his Time. Glasgow: T. R. Annan & Sons: Glasgow, 1896. This volume was produced in collaboration with his patron, George B. Simpson. Copies of Chalmers' correspondence with Simpson from 1864 to 1873 are held in the Royal Scottish Academy's George B. Simpson Collection....
