 TENIERS. i Ge oe 
 A GAME OF BOWLS. 
 
 Davip TENIERS, the’younger, was born at Antwerp, in 1610. He 
 was taught painting by his father, and by Adrian Brouwer. He was 
 appointed court painter and chamberlain to the Archduke Leopold 
 William, Governor of the Spanish Netherlands. His works were 
 eagerly sought after, and their merits highly appreciated. He died 
 at Brussels, in 1649, and was buried at Perth. 
 
 Teniers, though a Fleming by birth, belongs rather to the Dutch 
 School in style. Some of his pictures are solidly executed, while 
 others are so thinly painted that the ground is, in many parts, barely 
 covered ; he is said to have commenced and finished pictures of the 
 latter class at a single sitting. 
 
+ 
 
 His general subjects are fairs, markets, merry makings, guard- 
 rooms, beer-houses, and other interiors ; he also painted landscapes. 
 
 Sir Joshua Reynolds says of him : “His handling has perhaps never 
 been equalled ; there is in his pictures that exact mixture of soft- 
 ness and sharpness which is difficult to execute.”

 A CALM. 
 10 x 10%. 
 
 WILLIAM, OR WILLEM VAN DER VELDE, the younger, was born at 
 Amsterdam, in 1633. He was instructed by his father, and a marine 
 painter by the name of Simon de Vlieger. Both the Van der Veldes 
 entered the service of Charles I., then King of England, and were 
 granted pensions of £100—the father for making draughts of sea- 
 fights, and the son for putting them into colors. They lived at Green- 
 wich, where the father died in 1707. 
 
 ‘«He was,” says Walpole, “the greatest man that has appeared in 
 this branch of painting ; the palm is not less disputed with Raphael 
 for history, than with Van der Velde for sea-pieces.”

 Sir Peter Paut RuBENS was born at Liegen, in Westphalia, in 
 
 1577. His parents shortly after removed to Antwerp, where he 
 studied painting with Otto Van Veen. He went in 1600 to Italy. In 
 
y 
 
 9) 
 
 1605 he visited Spain ; and returned to Antwerp by Genoa in 1608, 
 where he was appointed court painter. In 1620 he visited Paris, and 
 received the order to paint his celebrated series of pictures for the 
 new Palace of the Luxembourg. In 1628 he again visited Spain in a 
 diplomatic capacity ; and also England in the following year, where 
 he was Knighted by Charles I. He died at Antwerp in 1640. 
 
 ‘‘Rubens,” says Sir Joshua Reynolds, ‘‘ was perhaps the greatest 
 master in the mechanical part of the art, the best workman with his 
 tools that ever exercised a pencil.” 
 
 What was said of Michael Angelo in form, may be said of Ru- 
 bens in color. ‘‘He represented whatever he undertook better than 
 any other painter.” 
 
 His extraordinary industry has left to the world a rich legacy 
 in his numerous masterpieces, of which ‘“‘ The Descent from the 
 Cross ” is generally considered the best.

 mythological. His style varies much ; his éarlier works possessing 
 great force, while, at a later period, he adopted a very slight mode of

 TIZIANO VECELIO, commonly called Titian, was born at Capo del 
 Cadore, a small town in the territory of Venice, in 1477. He was 
 placed, about the age of ten, with Sebastiano Zuccati, to learn paint- 
 
19 
 
 ing, and subsequently studied with Gentile and Giovanni Bellini. 
 Titian first appeared as a painter in 1514, at the Court of Alphonso I., 
 Duke of Ferrara. After the death of his master, Giovanni Bellini, 
 he was employed to complete his unfinished works in Venice; which 
 he did with so much credit, that the Senate rewarded him with the 
 office of La Senseria, and a salary of three hundred crowns ; by which 
 he was to paint the portraits of every Doge who might be created in 
 his time. He visited Bologna and Mantua in 1580, and is supposed to 
 have gone with the Emperor Charles V. to Spain. At Madrid are to be 
 found some of his masterpieces. The Emperor, whose portrait he 
 twice painted, created him a Count Palatine of the Empire, and 
 Knight of the order of St. Iago. He also painted two portraits of 
 Paul Ill. He lived to the great age of ninety-nine years, and died at 
 Venice of the plague in 1576. Of this most wonderful painter, it 
 has been said, “that none copied nature so faithfully as he”; and 
 whether we consider his portraits, or other works of design, we are 
 alike led to acknowledge the greatness of his genius, and the accu- 
 racy of his pencil.

 he left far behind him. His diligence was only exceeded by the fa- 
 cility and variety of his conceptions. His compositions are happy, 
 highly finished, and remarkable for their breadth of light and shade. 
 He painted genre, battles, landscapes, cattle and portraits. His best 
 works are his small landscapes with figures and cattle. Berghem is 
 the most celebrated of the group of painters to which he belongs. 
 He died in 1683. His pictures are to be found in the galleries of 
 Munich, Dresden, Vienna, Berlin, St. Petersburg, the Louvre, the 
 London National Gallery, etc.

 (From a Gallery in Venice.) 
 
 GIuLIO ROMANO, whose proper name was Giulio Pippi, was born 
 at Rome, between 1492 and 1499. He wasa pupil of Raphael, who 
 employed him on some important works in the Vatican, and at his 
 death bequeathed to him his implements and works of art. He was 
 intrusted with the completion of Raphael’s unfinished frescoes, and 
 he frequently painted the children in the latter’s pictures. In 1524 he 
 
 _ entered the service of the Duke of Mantua, where he introduced the 
 
 * style of Raphael, and established a school of art. He died at Mantua,

 ALBERT CuYyP was born at Dort in 1605. Son and pupil of Jacob 
 Cuyp, called ‘Old Cuyp.” Though chiefly known as a landscape 
 painter, he executed also some good portraits. 
 
 He has been called the Dutch Claude. He was a close student of 
 nature, and although among the best of cattle painters, his highest 
 excellence consists in the treatment of atmosphere, whether that of 
 the misty morning, of the glowing noon, or the golden evening. The 
 precise time of his death is unknown, Many of his paintings are 
 owned in England.

 (From the Gallery of the Marquis Besogna, Naples.) 
 
 PAOLO CALTARI, commonly called Veronese, from his birth-place, 
 Verona, where he was born, in 1528. He studied painting with his 
 
24 
 
 uncle, Antonio Badile. After executing several works at Verona and 
 Mantua, and other places in the neighborhood, by which he acquired 
 considerable reputation, Paolo established himself at Venice, where 
 he ultimately became the rival of Titian, Tintoretto, and other great 
 masters of the Venetian School. He visited Rome in 1568. He died 
 in Venice, in 1588, and was buried in the church of San Sebastiano, 
 in which he had excuted some of his most celebrated works. 
 
 The painter created, as it were, a new manner: though careless in 
 design, he had a most noble fancy, and the utmost fertility of inven- 
 tion ; his ‘‘ Marriage of Cana,” his ‘‘ Suppers,” and his “‘ Nuptials of 
 St. Catherine,” together with his cabinet pictures, are alike unrivalled 
 for their exquisite finish and richness.

 LEONARDO DA VINCI was born in Venice, in the Val d’Arno, below

 celebrated as a sculptor. He was a most accomplished man, com- 
 bining excellence in many branches—painting, sculpture, poetry, 
 music, mathematics, and astronomy. He painted principally at Flor- 
 ence and Milan, where he was justly held in the greatest estimation. 
 His pictures are remarkable for great fulness of form, with wonder- 
 ful freedom, and delicacy of light and shade. He died at Cloux, near
