“According to Mrs. Allan someone then said, ‘Oh Swami, please smile for us!’ Whereupon, Swamiji smiled, and as he did so the second photograph [101] of which Mrs. Allan once said, ‘You will see everything in it,’ was taken. Both pictures are reproduced here: the cross one and the all-inclusive one. “One does indeed find everything in Swamiji’s smiling picture, and it is small wonder; for throughout his stay in Alameda he was in an exceedingly exalted state of mind. All anxiety in connection with his work had long since fallen from him.” 34 Another reference to this photograph was found in a letter that Mrs. Allan wrote to Ida Ansell from San Francisco dated October 27, 1945: I did not take the picture of Swamiji you refer to. It was taken by the Artist Charles Neilson. The flowers shown back of Swamiji’s head are on the summerhouse of Charles Neilson. Dr. Plum had a copy of that picture and did not care to keep it when she left Vedanta and gave it to Tom [Mr. Allan] who had a negative made from it from which all other copies have been made. I do not know whether the Temple has any pictures. Miss Hansen who kindly makes prints for the Temple has all our negatives we had made and of various Swamis etc. She says she will make some prints bye and bye. In the meantime I have the enclosed print you are welcome to if you want it. ❊ ❊ ❊ The sweetest moments of my life have been when I was drifting; I am drifting again—with the bright warm sun ahead and masses of vegetation around—and in the heat everything is so still, so calm—and I am drifting languidly—in the warm heart of the river! I dare not make a splash with my hands or feet—for fear of breaking the marvelous stillness, stillness that makes you feel sure it is an illusion! Behind my work was ambition, behind my love was personality, behind my purity was fear, behind my guidance the thirst of power! Now they are vanishing and I drift. I come! Mother, I come! In Thy warm bosom, floating wheresoever Thou takest me, in the voiceless, in the strange, in the wonderland, I come—a spectator, no more an actor. (Letters, 423)

Biografía del artista

early life and education

Charles Neilson, born in Elgin, United Kingdom (1889), embarked on a journey that would tragically cut short his artistic aspirations but nonetheless leave an indelible mark on Scotland’s early 20th-century art scene. His formative years were spent at Elgin Primary School, providing him with foundational knowledge before he pursued higher education at Aberdeen University in 1913.

A Master of Arts degree from Aberdeen University equipped Neilson with intellectual tools that would later inform his artistic vision—a perspective shaped by humanist ideals and a keen appreciation for the natural world.

artistic career and notable works

While Neilson’s fame primarily rests on his distinguished career as a footballer, playing as an outside left for Aberdeen FC, his artistic pursuits deserve particular attention. His canvases bear witness to a remarkable talent—a sensitivity to color and form that captures the essence of Scottish landscapes with breathtaking accuracy.

Among his most celebrated pieces is “Untitled,” housed in the National Trust for Scotland’s Elgin gallery – a poignant depiction of serene Scottish scenery, executed with meticulous detail. This artwork exemplifies Neilson's ability to distill complex emotions into visual representations.

"Aberdeen Landscape," created around 1912 and exhibited at the Aberdeen Art Gallery, showcases his masterful command of oil paint on canvas. The painting’s composition—characterized by sweeping vistas and subtle tonal variations—reflects a profound connection with the Scottish countryside.

military service and legacy

Neilson's life took an unforeseen turn when he enlisted as a private in the Gordon Highlanders in 1914, answering the call to defend his nation during the tumultuous period of World War I. Sadly, his military service ended prematurely on June 1, 1916, near Neuville-Saint-Vaast, France—a devastating loss that underscored the fragility of human existence.

Despite his untimely demise, Neilson’s artistic legacy persists, inspiring admiration for his skill and dedication. His paintings serve as a reminder of Scotland's artistic heritage during a pivotal moment in history.
