William Allan (1782-1850) was a Scottish painter who specialized in historical and genre scenes. Born in Edinburgh, he studied at the Royal Academy in London and later traveled to Rome, where he became a member of the British Academy. Allan's early works were influenced by the neoclassical style, but he later developed a more romantic approach, incorporating elements of Scottish folklore and history into his paintings. He was particularly interested in the Jacobite rebellion of 1745 and produced several works on this theme. Allan was also a skilled portrait painter and was appointed court painter to Tsar Nicholas I of Russia in 1826. He spent the rest of his life in St. Petersburg, where he continued to paint and teach at the Imperial Academy of Arts. Allan's works can be found in many major museums and galleries, including the National Gallery of Scotland and the Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg.
