Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: LUP-MAL
MACNEE, SIR DANIEL (18061882) , Scottish portrait painter, was born at Fintry in
Stirlingshire
 . At the age of thirteen he was apprenticed, along with Horatio Macculloch and Leitch the water-colour painter, to John
Knox
 , a landscapist of some repute. He afterwards worked for a year as a lithographer, was employed by the Smiths of Cumnock to paint the ornamental lids of their planewood snuff-boxes, and, having studied in Edinburgh at the " Trustees'
Academy
 ," supporting himself meanwhile by designing and colouring book illustrations for Lizars the engraver, he established himself as an artist in Glasgow, where he became a fashionable portrait painter. He was in 1829 admitted a member of the Royal Scottish
Academy
 ; and on the death of Sir George Harvey in 1876 he was elected president, and received the honour of
knighthood
 . From this period till his death, on the 18th of January 1882, he resided in Edinburgh, where his genial social qualities and his inimitable powers as a teller of humorous Scottish anecdote rendered him popular.
