Jeremiah Davison (1695?–1750?) was an Anglo-Scottish portrait-painter. LifeDavison was born in England, of Scottish parentage, about 1695. He studied from the works of Sir Peter Lely, and under Joseph van Aken acquired facility in painting satin.[1] Davison died towards the end of 1745, aged about 50.[1] WorksThrough a Masonic lodge, Davison became acquainted with James Murray, 2nd Duke of Atholl, and painted his portrait. Under the patronage of the Duke and Duchess he went to Scotland, and obtained a good practice as a portrait-painter in Edinburgh, and London.[1] In 1730 Davison painted the portrait of Frederick, Prince of Wales. At Greenwich Hospital is a full-length portrait by him of Admiral George Byng, 1st Viscount Torrington; in the National Gallery of Scotland is a head of Richard Cooper, the elder; and in the Merchants' Hall, Edinburgh, is a half-length of Elizabeth Macdonald of Largie, wife of Charles Lockhart of Lee and Carnwath. A portrait of Kitty Clive the actress was in Horace Walpole's collection at Strawberry Hill.[1] A group representing James Douglas, 14th Earl of Morton and his family is now in the Scottish National Portrait Gallery.[2] Notes1. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite DNB|wstitle=Davison, Jeremiah|volume=14}} {{commons category}}2. ^[https://archive.today/20130821110234/http://www.bbc.co.uk/arts/yourpaintings/paintings/james-douglas-17021768-14th-earl-of-morton-and-his-family-212241 BBC Your Paintings, James Douglas (1702–1768), 14th Earl of Morton, and his Family.] External links
