nationalgalleries | In Focus | The Storm by William McTaggart @nationalgalleriesofscotland | Uploaded July 2020 | Updated October 2024, 10 hours ago.
William McTaggart’s huge painting ‘The Storm’, is a supreme example of McTaggart’s skilful brilliance as a landscape painter, a master with the brush, who could incorporate figures naturally into even the wildest environment. But it’s also an image with a strong message about the importance of community, and resilience in times of crisis.
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.
