James Guthrie

James Guthrie was a Scottish painter, prominent as part of the Glasgow Boys, and is celebrated for his portraiture and contributions to Scottish Realism. Born on June 10, 1859, in Greenock, Guthrie’s work reflected the influence of French realists, particularly Jules Bastien-Lepage, noted for rural subjects depicted with broad, square brush strokes.

His early artistic journey saw him forsake law studies at Glasgow University for painting, a self-taught endeavor that led him to become one of the leading lights of his artist collective. Guthrie's works are characterized by a unique blend of realism and the vibrant influence of French painting techniques, making his work distinctive in the Scottish art scene of the time.

For art collectors and enthusiasts, Guthrie's works like "Statesmen of World War I," held at the National Portrait Gallery in London, offer a glimpse into the evolution of Scottish painting. His portraiture not only captures the visage of his subjects but also the cultural fabric of his era. Those interested in the intersection of French influence and Scottish artistry would find his works a valuable addition to their collections.
