Edinburgh, the poetic capital of Scotland
Majestic and mysterious, Edinburgh stands out as one of Europe's most beautiful cities. Built between hills and sea, dominated by its castle perched on a volcanic rock, the Scottish capital captivates both with its history and its dramatic beauty. Its medieval alleys, romantic gardens, and spectacular panoramas have inspired many artists, fascinated by the changing light and the depth of its landscapes.
Through this collection, Artem Legrand pays tribute to Edinburgh, as immortalized by Alexander Nasmyth, David Roberts, Sam Bough, Hugh William Williams, and also John Knox. These painters captured the grandeur of the city, blending historic architecture with surrounding nature, and conveying the unique soul of the Scottish capital.

The great painters of Edinburgh
Alexander Nasmyth (1758–1840), considered the father of Scottish landscape art, gave Edinburgh representations of great clarity and remarkable elegance.
David Roberts (1796–1864) painted the city with a keen sense of architectural detail, especially its old streets and iconic monuments.
Sam Bough (1822–1878) was one of the first to capture the natural northern light in his picturesque views of the capital.
Hugh William Williams, nicknamed “Grecian Williams,” painted the surrounding hills with delicacy and an almost meditative atmosphere.
Finally, John Knox offered impressive panoramas of Edinburgh, where the city seems to blend into the Scottish nature.
Their perspective combines history, emotion, and beauty, offering true hymns to the Scottish capital.
