In Focus | Wandering Shadows by Peter Graham

Graham's observations of fleeting effects in nature provided the basis for his painting. He captured the transient character of clouds floating over the mountain tops and descending into the valleys, and recorded the shadows wandering across the slopes. In this 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.
