Alexander Nasmyth (1758 - 1840) the inspiration behind this painting's name began as a portrait painter; however, in his later years, he devoted himself mainly to landscape work and is often called the "father of Scottish landscape painting". Nasmyth was also largely employed by noblemen throughout the country in the improving and beautifying of their estates, in which his fine taste rendered him especially skilful.
