Alexander Christie (1807–1860) was a Scottish painter. ==Life== He was eldest son of David Christie, a grand-nephew of Hugh Christie, and was born in Edinburgh. He was educated at Edinburgh Academy and Edinburgh University there. Intended for the law, he served an apprenticeship to a writer to the signet, but was never admitted the society. His father's death allowed Christie to follow his own wishes and concentrate on art. Giving up his legal prospects, he entered in 1833 as a pupil at the Trustees' Academy in Edinburgh, then under the direction of Sir William Allan. After studying in London and Paris he returned to Edinburgh and settled there. In 1843, Christie was appointed an assistant, and in 1845, in succession to Thomas Duncan, R.S.A., first master or director of the ornamental department of the School of Art, under the board of trustees for manufactures in Scotland. In 1848, he was elected an associate of the Royal Scottish Academy, where for some years one or more of his pictures appeared in every exhibition. He exhibited only once in the Royal Academy in London, sending in 1853 ''A Window-seat at Wittemburg, 1526—Luther, the married priest''. Christie died 5 May 1860. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Alexander Christie (artist)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
