BBC Two - The Story of Scottish Art, Episode 3

As the 19th century began, Scotland's artists challenged their inherited traditions.

Lachlan Goudie traces the development of Scottish art. This episode explores how Scotland's artists challenged the traditions they had inherited and revolutionised Scottish art.

Artist Lachlan Goudie explores how, at the turn of the 19th century, Scotland's artists challenged the traditions they had inherited and, embracing new ways of seeing and painting from the Continent, revolutionised Scottish art.

From the Glasgow Boys' intimate rural realism, to Arthur Melville's brilliantly experimental watercolours; from Hill House, Charles Rennie Mackintosh's 'total work of art', to JD Fergusson's pioneering Scottish modernism, this generation transformed the way we saw Scotland's landscape and identity.
