Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Gavin Hamilton was a Scottish neoclassical history painter, who is more widely remembered for his hunts for antiquities in the neighborhood of Rome. These roles in combination made him an arbiter of neoclassical taste. Hamilton came from the prominent family for which the town of Hamilton, South Lanarkshire was named, which was headed by the dukes of Hamilton. Hamilton was educated at the University of Glasgow and studied in Rome in the 1740s, under the master Agostino Masucci. After a brief return home, he did some portrait painting in London, and returned to Rome in 1756 where he lived for the rest of his life. Aside from a few portraits of friends, the Hamilton family and British people on the Grand Tour, most of his paintings, many of which are very large, were of classical Greek and Roman subjects
