Click on photograph to find out more about this artist.	Philip Braham's landscape paintings go beyond just a portrayal of the natural world. Rooted in the Romantic tradition, Braham's work is infused with the allegorical and the sublime. His 'Gathering Storm at the River's Bend' was painted to commemorate the 700th anniversary of the Battle of Stirling Bridge; a famous victory for Wallace over the English army. The view depicts the view towards Stirling Castle from the Wallace monument. As Braham puts it;"the image made me look at the flow of history".
	It represents the recent upsurge in nationalist politics in Scotland. It is more than a landscape."There is however no sense ofthe nostalgic in his paintings". Braham is out to explore the essence and mood of the natural world and the intense feelings that it can provoke when viewed. Often travelling to different parts of Scotland to paint, Braham believes this narrative aspect of his work to be all important.
	Braham is a graduate of Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art in Dundee, and is now based in Edinburgh. He has exhibited widely in Britain, and abroad.
