John Anderson Bell Drawings and Watercolor Paintings
John Anderson Bell was born in Glasgow. His father was James Bell, advocate and his sister Jane Cross Simpson the hymn-writer and poet. Following Edinburgh University, Bell spent 1829–30 in Rome as an art student, returning to the UK to serve his articles as an architect with Rickman and Hutchinson, the gothic revivalist practice in Birmingham. Subsequently, he practiced in Edinburgh, designing country houses, and the Victoria Buildings in Glasgow for the Conservative politician Archibald Orr Ewing in Scottish baronial style. Thirty of the engravings in John Le Keux’s magnificent 1847 book Memorials of Cambridge are from paintings by Bell.
