nationalgalleries | In Focus | Margaret Lindsay of Evelick: The Artist's Wife by Allan Ramsay @nationalgalleriesofscotland | Uploaded August 2020 | Updated October 2024, 10 hours ago.
Looking at this painting you might think Margaret Lindsay lived a peaceful and rule abiding life, but the real story of Margaret Lindsay and her devotion to the painter Alan Ramsay was fraught with a drama and romance that tightly are concealed beneath this respectable image of domestic harmony.

In this new series devoted to Scottish Art, we look at paintings by some of the nation's finest artists. We examine them to uncover what makes each work so special and reveal some of the stories behind them.

This series is part of the Scottish National Gallery Project. The project will completely transform the way Scottish art is shown at the Gallery. A new suite of exhibition spaces will be created, which will be directly accessible from the adjoining Princes Street Gardens, and provide a light-filled, new home for the our unrivalled collection of Scottish art, raising its profile for visitors from all over the world.
