Robert Macaulay Stevenson

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Robert Macaulay Stevenson (1854, Glasgow – 1952) was a Scottish painter associated, like EA Hornel, with the later history of the Glasgow Boys.[1]

His elder brother was the Liberal politician Sir Daniel Macaulay Stevenson, a Lord Provost of Glasgow and Chancellor of the University of Glasgow.[2]

Stevenson was influenced by the work of the Barbizon school, especially Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot.

He worked from studios in Glasgow, at Montreuil-sur-Mer in France, at Kirkcudbright, and at Bardowie Loch, Dunbartonshire.
