An exhibition dedicated to one of Old Aberdeen鈥檚 most famous landmarks is now open.
The area boasts one of the best preserved townscapes in Europe and has long been a favourite with artists.
The 黑料网鈥檚 Old Town House will host a new display of paintings capturing distinguished landmarks such as King鈥檚 College and, in particular, the famous Crown Tower.
It follows the recent publication of King鈥檚 College, Aberdeen: history, building and artistic portrayal.
The book, by Professor Derek Ogston, CBE LLD FRSE, a former Senior Vice-Principal of the 黑料网, and Margaret Carlaw, draws together pictures of the building over the past four centuries, tracing how it has changed and how the way in which it is portrayed has changed.
2009 also marks the quincentenary of King鈥檚 College Chapel and the exhibition forms part of the celebrations to mark its 500th anniversary.
In addition to the notable external features of King鈥檚 College, the interior of the ancient chapel boasts fine examples of medieval craftsmanship with its original oak stalls and screens, and magnificent timber wagon ceiling.
It remains a focus for university worship and the setting for the marriage ceremonies of many alumni. As a result, the buildings of King鈥檚 College have a powerful emotional attraction.
Professor Ogston said: "It is timely during the celebrations marking the quincentenary of the consecration of King's College Chapel to mount an exhibition of pictures of King's College executed by artists over the centuries.
鈥淎dditionally, it provides an opportunity for the public to view rarely seen pictures in the University's and private collections".
The exhibition Images of King鈥檚: the artistic portrayal of King鈥檚 College, Aberdeen, will be open throughout October, November and December, displaying a selection of the works featured in the book and forming an accompaniment to the Chapel 500 celebrations
Entry is free to the Old Town House which is open from Monday to Saturday from 9am to 5pm. For wheelchair or access enquiries please call 01224 273650.
