Scottish Male Nudes


I've been to Scotland seven times, having deep family roots there.  While doing genealogy research in Edinburgh, one of my consultants suggested that I visit the National Galleries of Scotland.  Although not large by most standards, the place was full of treasures. One thing led to another, and I ended up enjoying the Kelvingrove Museum in Glasgow as well as the Galleries of the Palace at Holyroodhouse.  Today, I'm posting eleven male nudes by different Scottish artists, starting with two unknowns.  This first one is by an artist from Dundee, and although undated, it looks 20th Century.

  1. I have been to Scotland twice and was able to visit the National Gallery as well as Holyroodhouse. Where ever I go it has become second nature to visit places such as these. Always a highlight of the trip.

    1. Both of those places are always worth a visit. Next time I go, I will also visit the Royal Scottish Academy.

  2. Edinburgh bezaubert mit seiner georgianischen, edwardianischen und neoklassizistischen Architektur.
    Seine Museen sind ein Muss. :)
