"The Monarch of the Glen" is an iconic oil painting by Sir Edwin Landseer, completed in 1851. Landseer, a renowned British painter and sculptor, is best known for his depictions of animals, and this work is considered one of his masterpieces. The painting features a majestic red deer stag, which is often interpreted as a symbol of the Scottish Highlands, set against a misty, mountainous backdrop that evokes a sense of the sublime in nature.

Measuring 163.8 cm × 169 cm (64.5 in × 66.5 in), "The Monarch of the Glen" captures the stag in a moment of serene grandeur, with the animal's imposing antlers and dignified stance dominating the composition. The stag is positioned centrally, gazing out towards the viewer, which has led to various interpretations of its significance, ranging from a representation of natural beauty and wildness to a metaphor for Scottish identity and the political issues surrounding land use and conservation in the Highlands.

Originally commissioned as part of a series of three panels to hang in the Palace of Westminster, the painting was ultimately purchased by private collectors. Over the years, it has changed hands several times and has been displayed in various galleries. Its cultural impact is significant; the image has been reproduced widely, becoming a quintessential emblem of Scotland, and it has appeared on everything from whisky bottles to shortbread tins, reflecting its deep resonance with the Scottish national identity.

"The Monarch of the Glen" is held in the collection of the National Galleries of Scotland, having been acquired in 2017 after a successful public campaign and fundraising effort to prevent its sale to an overseas buyer. The painting's acquisition was a testament to its status as a national treasure and its importance to the cultural heritage of Scotland.
