Biography of William Murray Mackenzie ( fl.1850 - 1908, British )
William Murray MacKenzie exhibited at the Royal Scottish Academy from 1873 to 1908. He painted rural subjects, and occasionally historical or literary genre. There is little literature on the artist but it appears that MacKenzie may have travelled through the continent during the early 1880s; those pictures exhibited in 1882 have French titles and in 1883 they are predominantly Italian in subject or theme.
