" He studied design in London under Hans Huyssing, and in 1736 went to Italy and became the pupil of Solimena and Imperiali, both inferior painters. On returning to Edinburgh 23 ALLAN he painted Archibald, Duke of Argyll, and, RAMSAY through Lord Bute, was introduced to the Prince of Wales, afterwards George III, to whom he became Painter in Ordinary, after the death of Shaldeton in 1767. He became one of the most popular artists of the day, and was the friend of Voltaire, Rousseau, Hume, and J...ohnson. For Hume he painted a portrait of Rousseau. Like many other distinguished artists of the British School, he was not elected to the Royal Academy, in spite of the exalted patronage he enjoyed. His pictures are more appreciated now than they were a few years ago. They have some of the elegance of Nattier and the French School, with which Ramsay was better acquainted than some of his contemporaries. His pictures are sometimes ascribed to Gainsborough. Though he cannot be ranked with that master, or with Raeburn, his countryman, there are few artists who possessed his delicate accomplishment.
