{"title":"Scott, William Bell","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWilliam Bell Scott (1811-1890)\u003c\/strong\u003e was a Scottish artist in oils and watercolour and occasionally printmaking. He was also a poet and art teacher, and his posthumously published reminiscences give a chatty and often vivid picture of life in the circle of the Pre-Raphaelites; he was especially close to Dante Gabriel Rossetti. After growing up in Edinburgh, he moved to London, and from 1843 to 1864 was principal of the government School of Art in Newcastle upon Tyne, where he added industrial subjects to his repertoire of landscapes and history painting. He was one of the first British artists to extensively depict the processes of the Industrial Revolution. He returned to London, working for the Science and Art Department until 1885.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe painted a cycle of historical subjects mixed with scenes from modern industry for Wallington Hall in Northumberland (now National Trust), his best-known works, and a purely historical cycle for Penkill Castle in Ayrshire in Scotland.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe did not paint many portraits, but his striking \u003cstrong\u003eportrait of his friend Algernon Charles Swinburne\u003c\/strong\u003e is the iconic image of the poet. His etchings were mostly designed to illustrate his books.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe son of Robert Scott (1777-1841), the engraver, and brother of David Scott, the painter, he was born in Edinburgh. While a young man he studied art and assisted his father, and he published verses in the Scottish magazines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1837, Scott went to London. There he became sufficiently well known as an artist to be appointed in 1844 master of the government school of design at Newcastle-on-Tyne. He held the post for twenty years, and did work in organizing art-teaching and examining under the Science and Art Department. In Newcastle, Scott was visited by all the Rossetti family, and Dante Gabriel Rossetti painted Maria Leathart's portrait at Scott's house 14 St Thomas' Crescent (plaque erected 2005). Algernon Charles Swinburne, who wrote two poems to Scott, spent much time with him in Newcastle after being sent down from Oxford.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe resigned his appointment under the Science and Art Department in 1885, and from then until his death he was mainly occupied in writing his reminiscences, Autobiographical Notes, which were published posthumously in 1892, with a memoir by Professor Minto. It is for his connection with Rossetti's circle that Bell Scott will be chiefly remembered.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"scott-william-bell-1811-1890-algernon-charles-swinburne-1860","title":"Scott, William Bell (1811-1890) - Algernon Charles Swinburne 1860","description":"\u003cp\u003eHe did not paint many portraits, but his striking portrait of his friend Algernon Charles Swinburne by William Bell Scott is the iconic image of the poet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis download consists of 1 image in JPEG format that is 600dpi and 3890 pixels wide by 5880 pixels tall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe picture is out of copyright and in the public domain, so you are free to use it in whatever way you'd like, including commercial use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRead more about \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/publicdomainimagelibrary.com\/collections\/scott-william-bell\" title=\"William Bell Scott\"\u003eWilliam Bell Scott\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Digital Download - 1 image","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50758489145674,"sku":null,"price":0.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0776\/7965\/7290\/files\/Scott_WilliamBell_1811-1890_-AlgernonCharlesSwinburne1860_main.jpg?v=1747051976"},{"product_id":"scott-william-bell-1811-1890-ariel-caliban-1865","title":"Scott, William Bell (1811-1890) - Ariel \u0026 Caliban 1865","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe incident from Shakespeare's Tempest represented in this picture takes place off stage, following act III scene 2, when Trinculo, a jester, Stephano, a Butler and the monster Caliban, all drunk, follow the pipe and tabor music of the invisible Ariel.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis download consists of 1 image in JPEG format that is 600dpi and 5220 pixels wide by 4430 pixels tall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe picture is out of copyright and in the public domain, so you are free to use it in whatever way you'd like, including commercial use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRead more about \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/publicdomainimagelibrary.com\/collections\/scott-william-bell\" title=\"William Bell Scott\"\u003eWilliam Bell Scott\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Digital Download - 1 image","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50758530662730,"sku":null,"price":0.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0776\/7965\/7290\/files\/Scott_WilliamBell_1811-1890_-Ariel_Caliban1865_main.jpg?v=1747051975"},{"product_id":"scott-william-bell-1811-1890-the-butlers-surprise-on-all-hallows-eve-1848","title":"Scott, William Bell (1811-1890) - The Butler's Surprise on All Hallows' Eve 1848","description":"\u003cp\u003ePainting by William Bell Scott featuring the butler opening the door to lots of little people\/pixies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis download consists of 1 image in JPEG format that is 600dpi and 4760 pixels wide by 6440 pixels tall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe picture is out of copyright and in the public domain, so you are free to use it in whatever way you'd like, including commercial use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRead more about \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/publicdomainimagelibrary.com\/collections\/scott-william-bell\" title=\"William Bell Scott\"\u003eWilliam Bell Scott\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Digital Download - 1 image","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50758562677066,"sku":null,"price":0.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0776\/7965\/7290\/files\/Scott_WilliamBell_1811-1890_-Hallow_sEve1848_main.jpg?v=1747051974"},{"product_id":"scott-william-bell-1811-1890-iron-and-coal-c-1855-60","title":"Scott, William Bell (1811-1890) - Iron and Coal c.1855-60","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis is a vivid representation by William Bell Scott of Tyneside industry, with Stephenson's High Level Bridge, telegraph wires, and the River Tyne in the background.
