Alexander Maclean (November 1840 – 30 October 1877) was a Scottish painter. Maclean was born in the month of November around the early Victorian era in the year 1840, his father was David Maclean who worked as a manufacturer in Glasgow. Alexander was educated in Helensburgh also Edinburgh, then he was placed in business at Glasgow, which he left in 1861. He then adopted the profession of an artist, and studied at Rome, Florence, and Antwerp. His first exhibition was at the Royal Academy in 1872. In 1874 he attracted public notice there with his 'Covent Garden Market,' and again in 1876 with 'Looking Back.' This success he followed up in 1877 with 'At the Railings, St. Paul's, Covent Garden.' His health, however, began to fail, and he died at the relative young age of 36 on 30 October 1877 at St. Leonards-on-Sea, at the commencement of a very promising career. The highest known sold price for one of his artworks was for the work Covent Garden Market $102,700 US dollars that sold at the auction house Christie’s.
