About the piece
Painted in 1822, this atmospheric work by Alexander Nasmyth presents a sweeping view of Edinburgh from the west. The composition leads the eye from a rocky, figure-dotted foreground through lush woodland toward the iconic silhouette of Edinburgh Castle and Arthur's Seat, all captured beneath a luminous sky of soft golds and blues.
