William Kennedy was born in Hutchesontown, Glasgow on 17 July 1859,[1] and attended the Paisley School of Art. In the early 1880s he moved to Paris, where he attended the Académie Julian[2] and studied with artists such as Jules Bastien-Lepage, William-Adolphe Bouguereau, Raphaël Collin, Gustave-Claude-Etienne Courtois, and Tony Robert-Fleury.[3][4]

He established a studio in Stirling and painted rural landscapes, as well as boldly-colored depictions of Highland soldiers at Stirling Castle.[4]

Kennedy became a prominent member of a group of artists known as the Glasgow Boys. In 1887 he was elected president of a society formed by the group's members.[2]

He moved to Berkshire in the 1890s,[3] and married fellow painter Lena Scott in 1898.[1] He moved to Tangier in 1912, for health reasons. While living there, his art featured scenes from Moorish life.[1] He died in 1918.[2]
