Footnote: As a student of painting, George Harvey so distinguished himself that at the age of twenty he was invited to become an associate of the Royal Scottish Academy. His genre paintings showing scenes of daily Scottish life proved popular, and usually conveyed a moralising or religious sentiment. Later in life, Harvey focused on landscape painting. He became a full member of the Royal Scottish Academy in 1829, and was elected president in 1864.
