George Jamesone

George Jamesone

George Jamesone (or Jameson) (c. 1587 – 1644) was a Scottish portrait-painter.He was born at Aberdeen, where his father was architect and a member of the painters guild. After studying painting under Rubens at Antwerp, with van Dyck as a fellow pupil, he returned in 1620 to Aberdeen, where he was married in 1624 and remained at least until 1630, after which he took up his residence in Edinburgh.

He was employed by the magistrates of Edinburgh to copy several portraits of the Scottish kings for presentation to Charles I on his first visit to Scotland in 1633, and the king rewarded him with a diamond ring from his own finger. This circumstance at once established Jameson's fame, and he soon found constant employment, in painting the portraits of the Scottish nobility and gentry. Notable students included John Michael Wright. He also painted a portrait of Charles, which he declined to sell to the magistrates of Aberdeen for the price they offered. He died at Edinburgh in 1644.
