"Tam O Shanter: A Scottish Icon Through Art and Imagination" Step into the world of Tam O Shanter, a beloved character immortalized in various forms of art throughout history. From paintings to prints, this captivating figure has captured the hearts of many. In 1812, George Sanders painted "The Cock of the North: George, Fifth Duke of Gordon, " showcasing the grandeur and power associated with Scottish heritage. The duke's presence exudes strength and nobility, reminiscent himself. Fast forward to 1926 when Sir Harry Lauder, a renowned Scottish comedian, was depicted by Alick P F Ritchie. Laughter fills the air as Lauder entertains audiences with his witty humor and infectious charm - qualities that resonate with Tam O Shanter's mischievous spirit. In 1922, a pochoir print titled "Have no fear, little one. " captures an endearing moment between a child and their protector. Just like how Tam O Shanter faced danger head-on while being pursued by witches in Robert Burns' poem from 1790 - this artwork portrays bravery amidst adversity. Rob Roy is another iconic figure associated with Scotland's rich history. In a 19th-century etching bearing his name, we catch a glimpse of Rob Roy's adventurous spirit - much like our dear Tam O Shanter who embarks on daring escapades through dark forests and haunted realms. "A Bonnet Laird" transports us back to early 1905 when watercolor paintings were used to depict traditional Scottish attire. This piece showcases the elegance and pride that comes with wearing such distinctive headwear – just as Tam proudly dons his own tam o shanter hat during his legendary ride. John, the Fourth Duke of Atholl and his family are immortalized in an oil painting from 1780.
