Extractions: Allan Ramsay August 10 Scottish portrait- painter , the eldest son of the author of The Gentle Shepherd , was born at Edinburgh Ramsay manifested an aptitude for art from an early period, and at the age of twenty we find him in London studying under the Swedish painter Hans Huyssing, and at the St Martin's Lane Academy; and in 1736 he left for Rome , where he worked for three years under Solimena and Imperiali (Fernandi). On his return he settled in Edinburgh; and, having attracted attention by his head of Forbes of Culloden and his full-length of the duke of Argyll, he removed to London, where he was patronized by the duke of Bridgewater. His pleasant manners and varied culture, not less than his artistic skill, contributed to render him popular. In he was appointed to succeed Shakelton as principal painter to the king ; and so fully employed was he on the royal portraits which the king was in the habit of presenting to ambassadors and colonial governors, that he was forced to take advantage of the services of a host of assistantsof whom David Martin and Philip Reinagle are the best known. His life in London was varied by frequent visits to Italy, where he occupied himself more in literary and antiquarian research than with art. But this prosperous career came to an end, his health being shattered by an accidental dislocation of the right arm. With unflinching pertinacity he struggled till he had completed a likeness of the king upon which he was engaged at the time, and then started for his beloved Italy, leaving behind him a series of fifty royal portraits to be completed by his assistant Reinagle. For several years he lingered in the south, his constitution finally broken. He died at

http://www2.ebs.hw.ac.uk/edweb/edc/edinburghers/alan-ramsay-elder.html

Extractions: POET Originally a wig-maker in Edinburgh, Ramsay gave that up for bookselling. He founded what is thought to have been the first circulating library in Britain. He published his collected poems a few years later. His best known work, The Gentle Shepherd, on a pastoral theme, had instant success. Ramsay is said to have been the most amiable of men and a great conversationalist. Always interested in the theatre, he opened a playhouse in Carrubber's Close, but it was closed down by the Town Council. Ramsay built an octagonal home, the "Goose-pie", which still stands at Ramsay Garden , Castlehill, near the top of the Royal Mile. Ramsay is buried in Greyfriars Churchyard . His marble statue stands at the junction of Princes Street with the Mound; the medallion portraits around the pedestal are members of his family and descendants.
