Dr Hilary M Macartney serves as Honorary Fellow at the Stirling Maxwell Centre within the School of Modern Languages & Cultures at the University of Glasgow. She is Project Director of The Stirling Maxwell Research Project and holds an ORCID identifier (0000-0001-9970-2958).
Her principal research centers on Spanish art historiography, theory, and reception, with particular focus on Sir William Stirling Maxwell's (1818-78) contributions as scholar and collector of Spanish art. Her work explores the relationship between art and photography, early photographic reproduction of art, illustrated books, and nineteenth-century British art, taste, and collecting practices.
Since 2010, her research has been channeled through The Stirling Maxwell Research Project, which produced the facsimile and critical edition Copied by the Sun alongside a major exhibition at Madrid's Prado Museum in 2016. Her publications span art historical journals including Hispanic Research Journal, Bulletin of Spanish Visual Studies, and History of Photography, with recent work examining Spanish sculpture reproduction, Murillo scholarship, and early modern ceremonial art.
Macartney has received core funding for her research project from Santander Universities, supplemented by grants from Santander Shareholders, the Kress Foundation, Royal Society of Edinburgh, University of Glasgow Chancellor's Fund, and a Harry Ransom Center Fellowship. She serves as Co-Founder and Honorary Vice-President of the ARTES Iberian & Latin American Visual Arts Group and participates in the ART-ES Research Network.
Teaching responsibilities include the 'Golden Age Iberia in Glasgow' Junior Honours course (open to Spanish, Portuguese, and History of Art students) and 'Art in Spain in the Golden Age' at Level 2. Significant curatorial work includes the 2016 Prado Museum exhibition 'Copied by the Sun' and contributions to the 2009 'The Discovery of Spain' exhibition at the National Gallery of Scotland.
