Many of his works are well known through engravings. In a letter written by the artist, he says: "My pic- ture represents Paddy under a cloud, as he has been, more or less, especially more, ever since I knew him. "He is represented ‘after’ relating the old, old story of bad crops, short rents, if any, with all the other ills that Irish peasant flesh is heir to, to his landlord, who has borne with him till his patience is threadbare. "It does not follow however, that the cloud is either so dense as it seems, or is represented, either by Paddy or me, but it is often suitable, frequently serviceable, and always available. It is meant to be a simple story of everyday Irish life.” 30. FISHING FOR SOLE. Beyle, Pierre Marie. French School Born at Lyons; died 1876. Genre painter.

Flemish School Rubens, Peter Paul, born at Siegen Westphalia June 29, 1577; died at Antwerp May 30, 1640. Rubens is the chief glory of the Flemish School and one of the great masters of the world. He was a scholar, a painter, and a diplomatist. In 1600 he went to Venice and studied the works of Titian and Paul Veronese. For eight years Rubens was in the service of the Duke of Mantua. He married two wives, both of whom served him for models. He was buried in his private chapel in the church of St. Jacques at Antwerp, which is decorated with a magnificent work of his own. Wildens, Jan, born in Antwerp in 1586; died there Octo- ber 16, 1653. Landscape painter, pupil of Peter Verhulst.

Flemish School Born in Antwerp March 22, 1599; died in London Decem- ber 9, 1641. At ten years of age he was apprenticed to Hendrik Van Balen, and at sixteen he entered the studio of Rubens as his pupil and assistant. In 1620 he went to England but soon returned to Antwerp, whence he proceeded to Italy. In 1630 he went again to England, was disappointed and about to return home when Charles I invited him to become his own painter with a pension of £200 a year, and eventually knighted him. Prior to 1882 this painting was owned by the Duke of Hamilton and was catalogued by him as the work of Van Dyck. At the sale of his famous collection it was catalogued and offered and was purchased by Mr. Matthias H. Arnot as a Van Dyck, and its genuine- ness does not seem to have been then questioned in any manner. Mr. Arnot always catalogued it as a Van Dyck. Inasmuch, however, as a doubt as to its genuineness has been raised by the adverse opinion of a professional critic who states, "this is a repetition by a pupil of Van Dyck, after the head of the Windsor Castle original,” the directors of the Arnot Art Gallery append this statement. 44.

Spanish School Born at Seville, 1599; died at Madrid 1660. Both parents were of noble blood. His talent for drawing quickly showed itself. He studied first with Herrera el Viejo, a painter of Seville, his second master being Pacheco, whose daughter he married in 1618. In Pacheco’s company he went in 1622 to Madrid, returning one year later at the request of Olivares, who persuaded King Phillip IV to sit for his portrait. From this time the life of Velasquez was a long triumph. He died of a fever contracted while arranging a royal journey, and seven days later his wife died of grief. Prior to 1882 this painting was owned by the Duke of Hamilton and was catalogued by him as the work of Velasquez. Prior to its acquisition by the Duke of Hamilton, it, as a Velasquez, was of the collection of the Marquis of Lansdowne and Fonthill. At the sale in 1882 of the famous collection of the Duke of Hamil- ton, it was catalogued and offered and purchased by Mr. Matthias H. Arnot as a Velasquez and its genuine- ness was not then questioned in any manner. Mr. Arnot always catalogued it as a Velasquez. Inasmuch however, as a doubt as to its being the work of that painter has been raised by the adverse opinion of a professional critic, the directors of the Arnot Art Gallery append this statement. 27 THE LOVE TOKEN -JEAN LEON GEROME 48. THE INFANT CHRIST SLEEPING. Murillo, Bartolome Estaban. Spanish School Born at Seville 1618 ; died April 3, 1682. He displayed when very young a talent tor painting. In his youth he endured all the struggles of poverty and obscurity. Went to Madrid to Velasquez who advised him to copy works of Van Dyck and Rubens. After three years study at the court he returned to Seville. He executed eleven scenes for the Franciscan monks and at once established his reputation. From this time, Murillo was secure of patronage, and in 1648 he married a wealthy and well-born wife. He died in consequence of a fall from a high scaffolding, while engaged in painting a large "Marriage of St. Catherine.” Prior to 1882 this painting was owned by the Duke of Hamilton and was catalogued by him as a work of Murillo. Prior to its acquisition by the Duke of Hamil- ton, it, as a Murillo, was of the collection of the Marquis of Lansdowne and Fonthill. At the sale in 1882 of the famous collection of the Duke of Hamilton, it was catalogued and offered and was purchased by Mr. Matthias H. Arnot as a Murillo. Inasmuch, however, as a doubt as to its being the work of that painter has been raised by the adverse opinion of a professional critic, the directors of the Arnot Art Gallery append this statement.

Landscape painter, son and pupil of Izack Van Ruysdael and probably also of his Uncle Salomon, became the greatest landscape painter of the Dutch School. Every stroke is simple, every touch effective. No accessories are employed, none are needed. His sunshine and shadows are powerfully blended and his foliage rich, broad and admirably arranged. 53. THE MILL POND. Hobbema, Meyndert. Born in 1638; died at Amsterdam 1709. Landscape painter, formed himself under the influence of Jacob Van Ruysdael. Much neglected in his life time, he now takes rank as one of the greatest landscape painters. He has less feeling than Ruysdael, but surpassed him in truth to atmospheric effect in tone and brilliancy of color. This painting was purchased by Mr. Matthias H. Arnot from the Hurlburt collecton as the work of Hobbema. It was catalogued by Mr. Arnot as the work of that painter. Inasmuch, however, as a doubt as to its being his work has been raised by the adverse opinion of a professional critic, the directors of the Arnot Art Gallery append this statement. 54.

Soon after reaching manhood, he went to England and was introduced to Benjamin West with whom he worked for some time. He arose to eminence and his claims as a portrait painter were acknowldeged even during the life of Sir Joshua Reynolds. Of his American portraits, his likeness of Washing- ton was considered his finest. Among his sitters were three kings and six pres- idents of the United States. Much new information respecting this artist has recently come to light and many lost paintings found. This portrait is one of a series painted for the Boydell Gallery. Upper Gallery 90. PORTRAIT OF MISS HANNAH VINCENT. Sir Joshua Reynolds. English School This greatest of all English portrait painters was born in 1723, at Plympton, in Devonshire, died in London in 1792. He was educated by his father, a school master and was intended for the medical profession, but a love of art having shown itself at an early age, he was sent to London in 1749 and placed under Thomas Hudson the best known portrait painter of the time. Later, he went to Italy, finally settled in Rome for two years. Returning to England in 1752, Reynolds raised the price of his whole length portrait to sixty guineas and his sitters included all the most wealthy society people as well as many members of the Royal Family. He was knighted by the King when elected Pres- ident of the Royal Academy by acclamation when the Royal Academy was founded in 1768, an honor that has ever since been offered to the holder of that office. The portrait of Miss Vincent was from the collection of Georgina, Lady Cresley, Hyde Park, London, England. 91. PORTRAIT OF MATTHIAS H. ARNOT. Donor of the ARNOT ART GALLERY. August Franzen, N.A.
