Peter Lowe was a Scottish surgeon who studied medicine and surgery at the Conferie de St Come et St Damien in Paris, and served as Surgeon in Ordinary to King Henry IV of France. He returned to Glasgow in 1598 and, finding medical and surgical standards in the town lacking, decided to petition King James VI. The King responded by granting a Royal Charter in 1599, granting Lowe and Hamilton (and their successors) the power to examine and license physicians and surgeons in the West of Scotland. The Charter was ratified by an Act of the Scottish Parliament in 1672, and is the founding document of the organisation known today as the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow. This is a copy of the original portrait, made in 1822.

Graham-Gilbert, John (Scottish painter and collector, 1794-1866) 19th century 88 Portrait of John Moore MD 1730-1802 Bust-length portrait with a landscape background. John Moore was a surgeon first, later a physician, and also a man of letters. He began his medical career with the North British Fusiliers and, after studying in London and Paris, spent much of his career working in Glasgow. Upon his retirement from medical practice in 1777, Moore moved to London and began publishing accounts of his travel experiences as well as several novels. It was during this time that he began a correspondence with the man now known as Scotland’s national poet, Robert Burns. Burns wrote a long, autobiographical letter to Moore in 1787, which has formed the basis of the most credible biographies of Burns. A statue of his son, Sir John Moore of Corunna, stands in George Square. James Barr (active 1860s–1892) ; Manner of Sir George Romney (Chrisite's 1989) / Sir Thomas Lawrence (Gibson, 1984) 19th century 35 Portrait of William Mackenzie 1791-1868 Seated three-quarter length in robes. William Mackenzie was born and educated in Glasgow. After a period spent travelling and studying on the continent and in London between 1815 and 1819, he returned again to Glasgow, dividing his time between general practice and lecturing on medical subjects in Anderson’s College. In 1824 he co-founded the Glasgow Eye Infirmary and also became the first editor of the Glasgow Medical Journal. His “Treatise on Diseases of the Eye”, published in 1830, was a standard textbook on the subject for over 20 years until the invention of the ophthalmoscope radically changed the practice of ophthalmology. He served as surgeon-oculist to Queen Victoria and would have been President of the Faculty of Physicians and Surgeons, but declined his election to this office on health grounds. This portrait was presented to the Faculty by Mackenzie's widow in 1884, and his extensive library, including works in several languages on ophthalmology and general surgery, was later donated to the Faculty by his son. John Horsburgh (Ewan Mundy 1993): A.Keith (Gibson 1983) 19th century 96 Portrait of Joseph Black 1728-1799 Joseph Black (1728–1799), President of the Faculty of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow (1759–1761 & 1765–1766). Half-length, facing right. Joseph Black was the son of a Belfast wine merchant. At 16, he entered the University of Glasgow to study Arts, before switching to Medicine in 1744. There he studied under William Cullen, assisting him in his laboratory. After further study in Edinburgh, Black returned to Glasgow and became Professor of Medicine in 1757. Black’s discoveries in chemistry helped shape our understanding of modern science. His discovery of latent heat paved the way for thermodynamics, supporting James Watt’s advances in steam power. He also discovered carbon dioxide, and illustrated that it was produced by animal respiration and microbial fermentation. Black was President of the College from 1759 to 1761, and from 1765 to 1766. Joshua Reynolds (1723–1792) (style of) 18th-19th century 103 Portrait of James VI and I (1566-1625) Standing three-quarter length in a brown lace-trimmed doublet. There is some doubt regarding the artist: Gibson (1983) attributes it to Paulus van Somer; in 1993 Ewan Mundy suggested the Circle of David Mytens instead. James was King of Scotland from 1567 and became King of England and Ireland following the death of Queen Elizabeth I in 1603. In 1599 he issued a Royal Charter, granting permission to Peter Lowe, Robert Hamilton, and William Spang (and their successors) to establish the body which is known today as the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow. Lowe was also chief surgeon to the King’s son, Prince Henry. James was a prolific writer and tackled a diverse range of styles and subjects. Of particular note is his “Counterblaste to Tobacco”, an early anti-tobacco publication which appeared some 300 years before Richard Doll convinced the world of the dangers of smoking. There is a contemporary collected edition of his works in the College library. This portrait was obtained at auction around 1950 by Dr T. J. Honeyman and, after restoration, was presented to the College in 1952 by Professor G. B. Fleming. Although the exact date is unknown it was certainly painted after James acceded to the English throne, as he can be seen wearing the Lesser George of the Garter around his neck. Paulus van Somer I (1576–1621) (circle of) Circle of David Mytens 17th century 106 Portrait of Kirsty Follett Pictured here is a portrait of Kirsty Follett, a nurse who has worked in the Greater Glasgow and Clyde region of the NHS for over 30 years. This portrait was captured after a 12 hour shift during the Covid pandemic, showing the effect these conditions had on the staff - mentally and physically draining, skin raw and marked from masks held tight, often exacerbated with sweat, tears and genuine concern for those they were treating. About the experience, Kirsty said: "I worked between the intubation team and ICU. The adaptability was commendable that the staff put into ICU. 100% working out with their comfort zone.However the support from colleagues in the same position helped. It was stressful, as never having to deal with the likes we have never seen before.Our patients were so critically ill. The acute sense of upset for families not being there with their loved ones at their greatest time of need will be something that will live with me for a long time." The portrait was done by Pearl Kinnear, a Glasgow-based artist. Pearl Kinnear c. 2020-2021 Portrait of Robert Hamilton Portrait of Robert Hamilton, standing half-length in a black lace-trimmed cloak. The physician Robert Hamilton was one of the co-founders of the College, and is named in the Royal Charter of 1599 alongside Peter Lowe and William Spang. The early years of Hamilton's life are not well recorded, however there is record of him as a doctor arriving in Aberdeen in 1594. Although Hamilton is referred to as a "professoure of medicine", there is no record of him obtaining an MD. He was the senior office bearer of the College in its first 20 years. According to College minutes the early portraits of Hamilton, Lowe and Spang had deteriorated to such an extent by 1822 that copies were made. The original was the work of an artist from the 17th Century Scottish School. Scottish school 17th century 98 Portrait of William Cullen 1710-1790, PRCPSG 1747-1749 Seated half-length holding a book. Cullen began his medical career by undertaking an apprenticeship with John Paisley, a practitioner in Glasgow who also work as the librarian to the Faculty of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow. In 1729 he moved to London to take up a surgical post on a merchant ship travelling between London and the West Indies. After some time studying at the University of Edinburgh Medical School, as well as an apprenticeship with William Hunter, Cullen graduated MD from the University of Glasgow in 1740. He began lecturing in chemistry at the University of Glasgow in 1747 and later lectured in materia medica and botany. Cullen was then appointed Professor of Medicine at the university in 1751. He moved to Edinburgh in 1755 and continued the rest of his career there, holding several positions at the University of Edinburgh and the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary. Cullen was President of the Faculty of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow from 1747 to 1749. Scottish School 19th century 109 Professor James Jeffray (1759–1848) James Jeffray graduated MA in Sciences from the University of Glasgow in 1778, then going on to graduate MD from the University of Edinburgh in 1786. From 1790 he was Professor of Anatomy and Botany at the University of Glasgow. He held these posts until his death in 1848. This is one of the longest held professorships in Scotland's history.<br /><br />Despite this, he is best remembered for his participation in an experimental dissection case in 1818. Assisted by Andrew Ure, a physician who was a member of the Faculty and Professor at Anderson University, Jeffray carried out a dissection on the body of executed murderer Matthew Clydesdale. Clydesdale had been found guilty of murder and was hanged for his crime. Under the Murder Act of 1751, academics could only perform dissections on the bodies of those executed as a result of being guilty of murder. Jeffray and Ure dissected Clydesdale's body, but also passed electric currents through the body to observe the workings of the nervous system. This experiment enabled parts of Clydesdale's body to be "reanimated". This experiment brings into question the ethics of anatomical experiments and consent. <br /><br />Jeffray was President of the Faculty of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow from 1793 to 1795. Smith, Colvin (British painter, 1795-1875) 18th-19th century on loan from a private collection Portrait of Sir Robert Perry 1783-1848 Seated half-length against a brown background. Perry graduated MD from the University of Glasgow in 1808, and went on to hold medical and surgical posts in the Glasgow Royal Infirmary and the city’s Fever Hospital. He was a very active member of the medical community in Glasgow, being a founding member of the Glasgow Medical Society and a Vice-President of the Western Medical Club. In 1836 he published a pioneering paper distinguishing typhus from typhoid fever. He also wrote the influential “Facts and Observations on the Sanitary State of Glasgow” (1844), demonstrating the correlation between disease and poverty. Perry was President of the Faculty of Physicians and Surgeons from 1843 to 1845. This portrait was received as a bequest from his son in 1918.

It is thought that he qualified in medicine through the Faculty of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow as a Licentiate, becoming a full member of the Faculty in 1816.
