PAST EXHIBITION: This was part of the EAF21 programme.

The Scottish painter and printmaker Charles Hodge Mackie (1862-1920) was one of the most versatile artists of his generation. Based in Edinburgh, he embraced an international outlook, drawing inspiration from French Symbolism, the Celtic Revival movement and the landscapes of his European travels.

This major retrospective showcased the breadth of Mackie’s creative vision and talents. Charting the story of his career, it traced his development from the rural Scottish landscapes of his youth to his spectacular late Venetian scenes. The exhibition brought together over fifty artworks from public and private collections, including loans from the National Galleries of Scotland, the Royal Scottish Academy of Art and Architecture, and Perth Museum & Art Gallery, forming the most comprehensive survey of Mackie’s work in over a century.
