On November 18th 1785 Sir David Wilkie, the Scottish painter, was born.

Son of the minister in the parish of Cults in Fife, Wilkie’s talent was precocious: the self-portrait above was painted when he was only 20, and indeed by the early age of 19 he had produced one of his most famous works, ‘Pitlessie Fair’. He sketched the faces of his Fife neighbours during church services to use in this work, and the accuracy of detail of real-life characters was a trait for which Wilkie was renowned.

He became one of the most sought-after society portrait painters of his day. His detailed paintings of events mean that his pictures are often used for historic illustrations, most notably his painting of John Knox preaching in the pulpit.My fave by Wilkie is The Blind Fiddler, seen in the second pic, there seems so much going on the painting.

In 1840, for health reasons, he took a tour of Egypt and the Holy Land, but sadly died on the voyage home.

Wilkie’s paintings can be seen in The National Galleries of Scotland, the first are of the artist himself, then The Blind Fiddler, Pitlessie Fair and The burying of the Scottish Regalia.

The Magdalen Reading, 1535. - Ambrosius Benson (1495/1500- 1550).

A woman, her hair covered by an elaborate structure of caps and semi-transparent veils, holds a luxurious illuminated book in a green velvet binding. The pot identifies her as Mary Magdalene: it holds the ointment with which the saint anointed Christ’s feet.

The hands and book are copied from Saint Barbara in Gerard David’s The Virgin and Child with Saints and Donor. They are so close that it seems Ambrosius Benson copied from the original or that he had access to the preliminary drawings. He was a pupil of David, and the two were involved in a lawsuit about patterns which David alleged he had found in Benson’s chest. The folds of the veil are extremely close to Mary Magdalene’s headdress in The Magdalen in a Landscape by Albert Cornelis, from whom Benson borrowed patterns.

Benson specialised in half-lengths of young women depicted as Mary Magdalene or as sibyls (female oracles in classical mythology). This lady’s strangely elongated ear and large hands are typical of the artist. The style of her dress suggests a date of about 1520, making it one of the artist’s earliest such pictures. - The National Gallery.

His original name was likely Benzone or Bensoni, or a variation.

Ambrosius Benson (c. 1495/1500, in Ferrara or Milan – 1550, in Flanders) was an Italian painter who became a part of the Northern Renaissance.

While many surviving paintings have been attributed, there is very little known of him from records, and he tended not to sign his work. He is believed to be responsible for mainly religious art, but also painted portraits on commission. He sometime painted from classical sources, often setting the figures in modern-dress, or a contemporary domestic setting. In his lifetime he was successful; he had a large workshop, his work was sold internationally and he was especially popular in Spain.

Benson became popular as a source for pastiche with 19th-century painters, who are sometimes known as the "followers of Benson". In particular his many variations of the Magdalen and Sibilla Persica were further copied and became popular with contemporary buyers. - Wikipedia.
