Artist
David Scott
David Scott is a British Romanticism artist. 16 works are cataloged here, principally at National Galleries Scotland.
David Scott painted dramatic scenes from history and myth in oils during the early 1800s. His brush brought to life Homer’s Iliad in The Dead Sarpedon, Borne by Sleep and Death and Shakespeare’s Tempest in Ariel and Caliban. A Study for 'The Descent from the Cross' shows his knack for human drama. Tap The Traitor’s Gate to step into a moody, story-rich corner of 19th-century painting.
