David Ramsay Hay (March, 1798, Edinburgh -10 September 1866) was a Scottish artist, interior decorator and colour theorist. David Ramsay Hay was the son of a published poet and friend of Robert Burns, Rebekah Carmichael.〔Lonsdale, Roger H., ed., ''Eighteenth Century Women Poets: an Anthology'', OUP (1990) 445.〕 After her husband died, David was educated at the expense of an uncle, then apprenticed as a painter with the house-painters Gavin Beugo & Robertson in Edinburgh, as was his friend the topographical artist David Roberts. In April 1820 he commenced work at Abbotsford for Walter Scott.〔Hay, ''Harmonious Colouring'', 6th edition (1847), 182.〕 In 1850 he decorated Holyroodhouse for Queen Victoria. In the 1920s, Queen Mary had these decorative schemes painted over, but watercolours commissioned by Victoria in 1863 give some idea of their appearance.〔Morton, Theresa-May, ''Royal Residences of the Victorian Era'', The Royal Collection (1991), 53-59〕 Hay was an advocate of imitative finishes such as graining and marbling, and textured paints to imitate brocade fabrics.〔Bristow, Ian C., ''Interior House Painting Colours & Technology, 1615-1840'', Yale (1996), 141.〕 From 1828, he developed his theory of colour harmony over six successive editions of his book, ''The Laws of Harmonious Colouring Adapted to Interior Decorations''.〔Bristow, Ian C., ''Architectural Colour in British Interiors, 1615-1840'', Yale (1996), 191〕 Hay wrote about his experience decorating Abbotsford for Walter Scott in the sixth edition of his ''Harmonious Colouring.''〔''Harmonious Colouring'', 6th edition (1847), pp.181-97, see external links.〕 ==External links== * (National Portrait Gallery page with biography of Hay ) * (Carmichael, Rebekah, ''Poems by Miss Carmichael'', Edinburgh (1790) ) (list of subscribers names of interest) * (Hay, David Ramsay, ''The Laws of Harmonious Colouring Adapted to Interior Decorations'', 3rd edition (1836) ) * (Hay, David Ramsay, ''The Laws of Harmonious Colouring Adapted to Interior Decorations'', 6th edition (1847) ) digitised by Historic Scotland * (Hay, David Ramsay, ''Proportion or, The Laws of Beauty Analysed'', Blackwood (1843) ) * (Hay, David Ramsay, ''The Principles of Beauty in Colouring Systematized'', Blackwood (1845) ) * (Hay, David Ramsay, ''First Principles of Symmetrical Beauty'', Blackwood (1846) ) * (Hay, David Ramsay, ''The Natural Principle of Beauty, as developed in the Human Figure'', Blackwood (1852) ) * (Hay, David Ramsay, ''The Harmonic Law of Nature Applied to Architectural Design'', Blackwood (1855) ) * (Hay, David Ramsay, ''The Science of Beauty: as developed in Applied Art and Nature'', Blackwood (1856) ) 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「David Hay (artist)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
