George Paul Chalmers

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

George Paul Chalmers (1836-1878) was a Scottish painter.

He was born at Montrose, and studied at Edinburgh. He turned to landscapes later in his career, instead of the portraits which formed his earlier work. The best of these are The End of the Harvest (1873), Running Water (1875), and The Legend (in the National Gallery, Edinburgh). He became an associate (1867) and a full member (1871) of the Royal Scottish Academy.
