Horatio McCulloch

1805 (age 62)

Glasgow, Scotland, United Kingdom

Afterwards he worked in Edinburgh by Lizars, the engraver, to colour the illustrations in Selby's British Birds and similar works. Meanwhile he was working unweariedly from nature, greatly influenced in his early practice by the water-colours of H. W. Williams. Returning to Glasgow in some four or five years, he was employed on several large pictures for the decoration of a public hall in St George's Place, and he did a little as a theatrical scene-painter. About this time he was greatly impressed with a picture by Thomson of ' Duddingston. Gradually MacCulloch asserted his individuality, and formed his own style on a close study of nature; his works form an interesting link between the old world of Scottish landscape and the new. In 1829 MacCulloch first figured in the Royal Scottish Academy's exhibition, and year by year, till his death, he was a regular exhibitor. In 1838 he was elected a member of the Royal Scottish Academy. The subjects of his numerous landscapes were taken almost exclusively from Scottish scenery. Several works by MacCulloch were engraved by William Miller and William Forrest, and a volume of photographs from his landscapes, with an excellent biographical notice of the artist by Alexander Fraser, was published in Edinburgh in 1872. Horatio McCulloch died on June 24, 1867.
