JAMES DRUMMOND, R.S.A., F.S.A. (1816-1877) was a history and genre painter, draughtsman, antiquary, early proponent of photography, and the curator of the National Gallery of Scotland from 1868 to 1877. Drummond’s fascination with the history, antiquities and traditions of Edinburgh was first stimulated by his family’s occupancy of the Netherbow tenement which had been known since the eighteenth century as John Knox’s House. His training at the Trustees’ Academy under William Allan and Thomas Duncan (1832-36) shaped his own working methods, each history painting being carefully researched from original or published sources and composed with the aid of meticulous preparatory studies of costumed figures and architectural settings. Most of Drummond’s evocative drawings of the vanishing mediaeval buildings of the city in the 1840s and 1850s were published after his death, with descriptive letterpress in Old Edinburgh (1879). The original drawings were bequeathed to the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland of which he had been a member since 1848 and eventual curator of its museum. In his passion for historical authenticity he also assembled a vast collection of European and Oriental antiquities, jewellery, costume, arms and armour. His artistic lineage from Allan was apparent in the many illustrations of Scottish history and literature which he exhibited at the Royal Scottish Academy from 1842 to 1876. Unstinting in his dedication to the Academy, he was elected Academician in 1852 and appointed curator of the National Galleries of Scotland in 1868. On January 31, 2018, a painting by James Drummond, R.S.A., F.S.A., The Return of Mary Queen of Scots to Edinburgh, sold for $275,000 USD at Sotheby’s, New York, setting a world record for the artist.
