Born at the family home in East Calderwood, he matriculated at the University of Glasgow in 1731 and was greatly influenced by some of the most important philosophers of the Scottish Enlightenment, including Francis Hutcheson (1694-1746). He quickly abandoned his studies in theology for Medicine and, in 1740, left Scotland for London where he steadily acquired a reputation as an energetic and astute practitioner; he combined his working life as an anatomist successfully with a wide range of interests in natural history, including mineralogy, conchology, botany and ornithology; and in antiquities, books, medals and artefacts; in the fine arts, he worked with artists and dealers and came to own a number of beautiful oil paintings and volumes of extremely fine prints. He built an impressive school of anatomy and a museum which housed these substantial and important collections. William Hunter's life and work is the subject of this book, a cultural-anthropological account of his influence and legacy as an anatomist, physician, collector, teacher and demonstrator. Combining Hunter's lectures to students of anatomy with his teaching at the St Martin's Lane Academy, his patronage of artists, such as Robert Edge Pine, George Stubbs and Johan Zoffany, and his associations with artists at the Royal Academy of Arts, the book positions Hunter at the very centre of artistic, scientific and cultural life in London during the period, presenting a sustained and critical account of the relationship between anatomy and artists over the course of the long eighteenth century."--Provided by publisher. 588 0 Print version record. 600 10 Hunter, William, |d1718-1783. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n50030803 600 17 Hunter, William, |d1718-1783. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00010264 650 0 Anatomists |zScotland |vBiography. 650 0 Art |xCollectors and collecting |vBiography. 650 7 Anatomists. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00808437 650 7 Art |xCollectors and collecting. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00815195 651 7 Scotland. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01206715 655 7 Biographies. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01919896 776 08 |iPrint version: |z9781134767083 830 0 Routledge research in art history
