The Project

Dumfries and Galloway can boast a rich artistic history. Landscape and light have combined to lure painters to live and work in the area for at least 200 years.

In the Artists’ Footsteps attempts to document the landscape paintings, their artists and the places that inspired their work. For inclusion the painting must be of a Dumfries and Galloway subject and by a deceased artist.

By its nature this is a long-term project. Although a great deal of information has been collected, it is hoped that those viewing the website will be able to contribute to its development. Any assistance is welcome, and can be provided through the “Contact Us” link.

Although the project currently covers landscape paintings only this may be expanded in the future.
