Hugh William Williams : ウィキペディア英語版 | Hugh William Williams Hugh William Williams (1773–1829), known as "Grecian Williams", was a Scottish landscape-painter. ==Life== Williams is now thought to have been born in Devon. By 1790 he was living in Dalkeith supported by Louis Ruffini, a textile manufacturer who encouraged him to become a painter. For some years he concentrated on Highland landscapes. An extended tour in Italy and Greece, from which he returned in 1818, gave his work its particular character, and earned him the nickname "Grecian Williams". In 1822 Williams held an exhibition of watercolours, based on his tour. It was a critical success, its ruins and famous scenes of Greek history chiming with the taste of the time.〔 Williams was an original member of the Associated Artists in Watercolour (1808), with Andrew Wilson, which was short-lived;〔 and an associate of the Royal Institution, Edinburgh. Towards the end of his life he took an interest in the proposed amalgamation of the Scottish Academy and the artist associates of the Institution, an arrangement which was completed a month after his death. He died on 23 June 1829.〔
