This evocative portrait captures the distinguished visage of John Syme (1755-1831), a Scottish lawyer and a cherished friend of the national bard, Robert Burns. The image, created during the late 18th century, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the Scottish Enlightenment was in full bloom. Born in Ayrshire, Scotland, John Syme rose to prominence as a respected legal figure. His professional accomplishments, however, are not the only reasons why he is remembered today. Syme's enduring friendship with Robert Burns adds a captivating layer to his legacy. The two men met in the late 1780s, and their bond deepened over their shared love for poetry and the arts. Burns, renowned for his poetic masterpieces, often sought Syme's counsel and support.
