William Beattie-Brown

William Beattie Brown was a landscape painter, watercolorist, and restorer of paintings. Born in Haddington, he studied under James Ballantine of Edinburgh, a glass stainer and decorator. He exhibited from 1863 to 1899 with the Royal Academy (all Scottish views), the New Watercolor Society, and other artistic associations of London. He was elected an associate of the Royal Scottish Academy 1871, and a full member in 1884. He used a dark palette, painting somber highland scenes in a style similar to Peter Graham. This is an interesting scene of man lost in nature. The small fisherman is almost invisible when placed next to the overwhelming grandeur of the Scottish landscape. Despite the turbulent waters, for which Beattie Brown was famous for depicting, and the approaching storm, this scene instills a sense of calmness and wonder at the marvels of nature. Beattie Brown was truly masterful at his rendering of landscapes and the Scottish countryside.
