Oxford dictionary of national biography WWW site, 22 Sep., 2016 (Raeburn, Sir Henry, portrait painter, was born on 4 March 1756 in the village of Stockbridge, now a district of Edinburgh; honours came fast in Raeburn's final years: membership of the American Academy of Fine Arts in 1819, a fellowship of the Royal Society of Edinburgh in 1820, a knighthood in 1822, and the revived office of king's painter and limner in Scotland in 1823; the day after returning to Edinburgh, Raeburn attempted to resume his work-the "task" he had set himself many years before-but felt too unwell to continue; he retired to bed and shortly afterwards, on 8 July, died of "a total failure of the system") <http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/23007> |
