ISBN 0091910242 Retrieved February 2015〕 the High Street, Kirkcudbright, Scotland. It was the home of Scots impressionist artist E. A. Hornel between 1901 and his death in 1933.〔Checkland, O. (2003) ''Japan and Britain After 1859: Creating Cultural Bridges'' (page 148 ) Routledge. ISBN 1135786194 Retrieved February 2015〕〔(National Trust for Scotland ) history of Broughton House. Retrieved February 2015〕 Built in 1734, the house is actually three combined. Alexander Murray, Provost of Kirkcudbright and MP, bought the properties at No. 12 and No. 10 in 1740 and had them remodelled as one. The Murray family sold it in 1756, after which it was occupied by various wealthy locals, including the 5th Earl of Selkirk.〔 == Hornel residence == Hornel bought the property in 1901, from the proceeds of the sale of 30 ''Japanese paintings'', executed during a 16-month stay in Japan between 1893 and 1894. He lived in the house for the rest of his life.〔 Hornel hired his friend, the Glasgow-based architect John Keppie, to design and build the Studio for him, then had the Gallery added in 1910.〔 Throughout his life Hornel had been looked after by his sister, Elizabeth. On his death he left the life-rent of the house to her, but wished that Broughton House :: ''be preserved as a public art gallery for the benefit of the people of the Stewartry and visitors thereto''. 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「Broughton House」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
