Biography
A Scottish landscape painter, MacWhirter was born in Edinburgh but left soon after he was elected ARSA in 1867 for London. Exhibited at the RA 1865-1904. MacWhirter’s preferred subjects were of the peaceful and poetic landscapes in particular the high hills and birches of Perthshire. At first he attempted Pre-Raphaelite detail, but later abandoned this for a broader style. He travelled widely in America and Europe and the Alps were a particular influence on him.
