Skriv inn ønsket bredde og høyde for å tilpasse trykket til din ramme eller vegg. Et trykk kan kun beskjæres, aldri skaleres opp utover motivets opprinnelige størrelse, noe som betyr at et format med andre proporsjoner vil føre til tap av deler av bildet. Vi sender deg en digital mockup for godkjenning før vi starter trykkeprosessen. Bildet som vises på denne siden viser ikke den faktiske beskjæringen — det er kun mockuppen som viser dette.

Om kunstneren

The Life and Origins of James Hamilton

James Hamilton was born in Scotland around 1640. He came from the family of Hamilton of Murdieston in Fifeshire, a lineage rooted in the landscape of his home. His early years were shaped by the political shifts of the era, as he held strong Royalist convictions during a time of significant upheaval in the British Isles.

These political leanings eventually dictated the direction of his life. In 1666, he left Scotland and emigrated to the Netherlands. This move was a departure from his origins, driven by the need to find stability away from the Commonwealth. He settled in Brussels, a place that would become a central part of his existence as he practiced his craft.

Activity in Brussels and Germany

After leaving Scotland, Hamilton settled in Brussels, where he began to practice as a painter of flowers and still life. It was during his time in the Netherlands that he adopted the name de Hamilton. His work focused on the quiet details of nature, often capturing the stillness of floral arrangements or the presence of animals.

His time in Brussels was followed by a move to Germany. This shift in location saw his family continue to work within the same traditions, focusing on hunting trophies and animal subjects. The practice of painting still life remained a constant throughout these years of movement across Europe.

The Artistic Legacy of the Hamilton Family

The painter's influence extended through his three sons, all of whom were born in Brussels. They carried the family's focus on animals and still life into the courts of Central Europe. Ferdinand Philip and John George both found work in Vienna, serving the Emperor Charles VI. Their brother, Charles William, took a different path, finding employment with Alexander Sigmund, the bishop of Augsburg.

This tradition of painting hunting trophies and specific animal subjects continued through the next generations. The sons and grandsons maintained the same focus on the natural world that James Hamilton had established. In Brussels, the family began using the name De Hamilton, while in Germany, they were known as von Hamilton. Their work remains tied to the galleries of Vienna.

Key Works and Artistic Style

Hamilton focused his brush on the quiet details of still-life and flowers. His approach was steady, often dealing with the physical presence of objects rather than grand scenes. In his work, there is a specific interest in the textures of nature, whether through the delicate petals of a bloom or the heavy stillness of a hunting trophy.

One notable oil on canvas from about 1695 depicts four dead birds. This subject was a common choice for Flemish still-life painters of that era. While the composition follows these established traditions, the execution lacks the technical polish seen in the work of his contemporaries. The brushwork is functional, capturing the essence of the birds without the heightened refinement found in other studios of the period.

Where to See His Works Today

Finding a direct trace of James Hamilton's hand requires a visit to the National Gallery of Scotland. Located in Edinburgh, United Kingdom, the gallery holds the primary piece that can be surely attributed to him. This work, a still-life, offers a quiet look at the subjects he chose to paint during his time in Europe.

The painting measures 47.80 x 40.50 cm. It depicts four dead birds, a common subject for still-life painters of that era. This specific canvas is cataloged under the accession number NG 1833. It remains the only work that carries his name with certainty.
