Monarch of the Glen by Edwin Henry Landseer, 1850
(Monarch of the Glen)
Originally commissioned in 1849, The Monarch of the Glen was exhibited at the Royal Academy summer exhibition of 1851, and then subsequently purchased from the artist by the sportsman Lord Londesborough for 350 guineas.In 1916 it was bought by Sir Thomas Dewar, of John Dewar & Sons, one of Scotland’s largest whisky companies.
Inspired by his first visit to the Highlands in 1824, Landseer spent much time hunting and shooting in Scotland, staying with Sir Walter Scott at Abbotsford, where he was a popular guest of his wealthy patrons and the royal family. Landseer began painting narrative scenes, vivid landscape sketches and deer subjects, for which he would become famous.
Landseer's artistic vision reflected his connection with nature, as well as his romantic notion of life and sport in the Highlands. With The Monarch of the Glen, Landseer elevates animal painting to high art, which in turn celebrates both the animal and landscape.
