JAMESON (or JAMESONE), GEORGE (c. 15871644)

This article appears in Volume V15, Page 147 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: INV-JED
JAMESON (or JAMESONE), GEORGE (c. 15871644) , Scottish portrait-painter, was born at Aberdeen, where his father was architect and a member of the guild. After studying
painting
  under
Rubens
  at Antwerp, with Vandyck as a fellow
pupil
 , he returned in 162o to Aberdeen, where he was married in 1624 and remained at least until 163o, after which he took up his residence in Edinburgh. He was employed by the magistrates of Edinburgh to copy several portraits of the Scottish kings for presentation to Charles I. on his first visit to
Scotland
  in 1633, and the king rewarded him with a diamond ring from his own
finger
 . This circumstance at once established Jameson's fame, and he soon found constant employment, in
painting
  the portraits of the Scottish
nobility
  and gentry. He also painted a portrait of Charles, which he declined to sell to the magistrates of Aberdeen for the price they offered. He died at Edinburgh in 1644.
