Raeburn the Scottish Painter and Altogether a Great Figure
Raeburn rose from a goldsmith’s path to become a celebrated portraitist. At sixteen he painted miniatures, met Morton who mentored him, studied in Rome after Reynolds’ guidance, and returned to Edinburgh to steady work. Knighted in 1822 by George IV, he died in 1823 with a Walter Scott portrait at his easel. Also notes on Mrs Kern’s gift shower and local visitors returning for holidays.
