In Focus | Pitlessie Fair by David Wilkie

This bustling market scene shows a real village in Scotland – Pitlessie in the artist David Wilkie’s home parish Cults. The painting represents the beginnings of a hugely successful career. Wilkie had a flair for capturing character and went on to become one of the most prominent artists of his generation. Watch this and find where and out how it all began. In this new series devoted to Scottish Art, we look at paintings by some of the nation’s finest artists. We examine them to uncover what makes each work so special and reveal some of the stories behind them. This series is part of the Scottish National Gallery Project. The project will completely transform the way Scottish art is shown at the Gallery. A new suite of exhibition spaces will be created, which will be directly accessible from the adjoining Princes Street Gardens, and provide a light-filled, new home for the our unrivalled collection of Scottish art, raising its profile for visitors from all over the world.
