INTRODUCTION. HEN the Committee decided to hold an Exhibition of Miniature Portraits in the Gallery of the Club, several questions had to be considered. First, it seemed advisable to decide what constituted a “ Miniature Portrait.” One authority had attempted a definition, but had failed egregiously. Redgrave, in the “ Century of Painters,” laid it down as follows: “ I consider the term as strictly applying to portraits executed in water colour on ivory, or in enamel on copper, and in some few instances, on silver or gold.” Were these limitations to be accepted, the great masters in miniature of the 16th and 17th centuries would be entirely excluded. In fact, it seems well nigh impossible to frame an accurate definition. The Committee, therefore, have agreed to follow the resolution adopted by Her Majesty’s Privy Council on Education on the occasion of the Loan Exhibition of Portrait Miniatures at South Kensington in 1865, and to accept all such works as were drawn to a small scale, and were, in respect to manner, of a miniature character, except paintings on porcelain. With regard to the periods of the art to be represented, the question was more easily settled. The Committee determined to accept specimens from the earliest times to the death of Cosway in 1821. Few, if any, miniature portraits are known to us prior to the time of Holbein, though, if the legend on the back of No. 44 (Case XXXIV.) is to be accepted, written in old French characters, that the portrait represents Francis de la Rochefoucault, god-father of VI. Francis I. (and the costume bears out the legend), we could not place the portrait at a much later date than 1495, and the scroll¬ work surrounding the portrait seems to recal the illuminator’s art. There is, however, one specimen in the present Exhibition which certainly must be accepted as a miniature portrait, and which can claim precedence of Holbein’s time by very many centuries. No. 45 (Case III.), contributed by Sir Charles Dilke, is apiece of surpassing interest. It was originally found by Ficoroni in the ruins of Tivoli, and afterwards belonged to Dr. Conyers Middleton. Like nearly all the fine things known at that epoch, it found a home at Strawberry Hill, in Walpole’s Collection, and was bought at the sale, in 1842, by C. Wentworth Dilke, Esq. It represents a lady with her boy in her arms, the latter wearing the bulla. Ficoroni thought that it belonged to the age of Alexander Severus; Middleton contends for a yet higher antiquity. It consists of two layers of glass cemented together, and the circular border of the glass is entire, so that it does not appear to have been the bottom of a patera, as has been supposed, but to be complete in itself as a miniature portrait. The lower piece of glass is throughout of a deep blue colour. The upper layer is of the same deep blue, except where we observe a circle of gold near the border and the figures of the mother and child. These portions appear to consist of colourless glass. Thus the figures painted on the under surface of this upper layer of glass are seen as we look down upon it, and the under layer has preserved the painting from injury, so that it is probably as fresh now as when it came (1600 years ago) from the hands of the artist. The method of fixing the gold to the glass, and of joining the blue glass, called sapphire, to the white, colourless layer, was by placing the composition in a furnace, by the heat of which the glass was partially melted. The death of Cosway in 1821, marks the end of the line of the great artists who, for nearly three centuries, had contributed to this Vll. charming branch of pictorial art, and though a few men continued to gain an existence by its practice, the cheap mechanical processes of photography completely took its place, and up to the present time there are no signs of its revival. It was the earnest wish of the Committee that the Exhibition should assume a chronological form, and that as far as possible the works of each master should be placed together for comparison, but a little thought compelled them to forego the proposed arrangement. The natural objections on the part of collectors and holders of family miniatures to have their treasures separated and disposed in various classes, were found to be insuperable, and the Committee have, in consequence, decided that the specimens contributed by each exhibitor should be kept together as much as possible, irrespective of epoch. The fashion of painting single portraits “ in little ” undoubtedly took its origin in the grand art of the illuminator; an art, which was practised by all nations, both Eastern and W estern, from the rubrication of capitals and headings, and occasionally true miniatures found on the papyrus rolls of ancient Egypt, as far back as the 18th dynasty, down to the magnificent missal in the Rouen Library, completed in the year 1682 a.d. Every collection affords abundant evidence of the introduction of individual portraits, amongst the gorgeous surroundings of the general illuminated work. The Flemish illuminator especially, carried the drawing and colouring of the heads to a degree of perfection, which came very near that attained by the greatest masters who subsequently practised the art of miniature painting, as the term is understood in these later days. Direct allusion to this point of contact between these two schools of art, is difficult to obtain, but Vasari, in giving us the life of Giulio Gravata, commonly known as Giulio Clovio, the great Italian illuminator of the 16th century, after enumerating his principal works, finishes thus:—“ Of these, I have desired to give the world this notice, that such as cannot see these productions, for they are almost Vlll. all in the hands of princes and other great personages, may at least know something of them and of him. I say ‘ almost ’ all because I know some private persons who have several cases containing beautiful portraits, by his hand, of sovereigns, of their friends, or of ladies whom they have loved.” In connection with this point, attention may be drawn to Case XXXIV., No. 14, Catherine de Medicis, with a gold back¬ ground, setting forth this saintly personage, with the wheel and other attributes of the martyr, from whom she derived her name. Frame 13 might have been cut from an illuminated book. It represents the Doge Andrea Vendramin and his Secretary receiving the Pope’s Legate, the date being 1476 to 1478. It has been ascribed to Giovanni Bellini, and the dates would bear out the assertion. The illuminated border represents the very best period of the Italian School. Frames 19 and 21, apparently belong to the large class of portraits, which were frequently attached to the Diplomas of State given to high officials on their appointment by the Venetian Republic. The date is late, 1600, and represents the epoch of decadence, but, as links in the chain of miniature, they are interesting. No. 1 (Case XXXIX.), a drawing founded on one of the celebrated pictures by Holbein, of the More family, has a double interest. A group of portraits has been added on the right of the picture, containing members of the More family not represented in Holbein’s drawing, and the whole execution of the piece, in the character of the heads, and the little landscape, introduced at the back of the fresh group, bespeaks the hand of the Flemish illuminator, somewhere about the close of the 16th century. It has been already mentioned, that Johannes or Hans Holbein has furnished us with the earliest specimens of the miniature portrait. Mr. Wornum, in his life of the artist, expresses some doubt whether he ever drew in miniature, but Van Mander, who published his life of Holbein in Amsterdam in 1604, expressly tells us that “he IX. worked equally well in oil and in water colours, he painted also miniatures of especial excellence ; which last art he learned from one, Master Lucas then in London, whom, however, he very soon far surpassed.” It is a pity that the biographer did not give us the surname of this Master Lucas, who had the honour of being Holbein’s master, an honour ascribed by Walpole to Lucas Cornelii. This artist was born in the same year as Holbein, 1495. But as the wants of a wife and seven children drove him from Leyden, to seek employment in England, he could hardly have come as a young man, and probably therefore followed, rather than preceded Holbein. There was another Master Lucas, however, Lucas Horembout , or Hornebolt , who was certainly settled here in 1529, and perhaps earlier. He was one of a family of illuminators. His father Gerard, was a native of Ghent, and came to England about 1525, subsequently returning to Ghent where he died in 1540. His wife Margaret was buried at Fulham, where there exists an interesting brass to her memory. The son Luke or Lucas was a “ King’s servant’ at a higher salary than Holbein ever had, namely, 55 s. 6 d. a month, and his death is certainly fixed by a curious entry in one of the household books of Henry VIII. In May 1544, it is stated “ Item, for Leuke Horneboutte paynter, wages nil, quia mortuus.” His sister Susannah also is spoken of in high terms as an artist, by Guicciardini and Albert Durer. She married John Parker, Treasurer to the King. We may then fairly conclude that Lucas Hornebolt, rather than Lucas Cornelii, was the Master Lucas, alluded to by Van Mander. There is another witness to the fact that Holbein painted miniatures, one who was more nearly a contemporary of his, than Van Mander himself. Hilliard, his immediate successor, wrote thus : “ Holbein’s manner of limning I have ever imitated, and hold it for the best.” The real date of Holbein’s death, so long accepted as X. occurring in 1554, was finally settled by the finding of his will, by Mr. A. W. Franks, dated October 7th, 1543, with a note attesting the administration of his goods, dated November 29th in the same year. This change of dates is a factor of enormous importance, when considering Holbein’s art work. Pictures and miniatures during the reign of Edward VI. were invariably ascribed to him, but as we now know that Edward was six years old when Holbein died, we must turn elsewhere for the artists who produced them. Before taking leave of the great name of Holbein, we would direct attention to one specimen of his handiwork in the gallery (No. 2, Case XXXIX.). Although perhaps, strictly speaking, it can hardly be considered a miniature portrait, the Committee were only too glad to accept it. It is a sketch in silver point, of a male head, so tender, so lovely and yet so full of character, that further evidence is hardly required of Holbein’s unrivalled power of drawing “ in little.” With regard to the miniatures produced in Edward’s reign there were two or three artists at work here, who were quite equal to the work. Gwillim Streetes, the Dutchman, one of Edward’s court painters, in point of technique closely resembled Holbein, and of another artist, a lady too, we have written proof that she painted miniature, viz., Levina Teerlinck , a daughter of Simon Benninck, of Bruges, himself a celebrated illuminator. In 1538 she was in Henry’s service at a higher salary than Holbein. She is spoken of in the highest terms both by Vasari and Guicciardini. Mr. J. G. Nichols gives many interesting details of her, extracted from the Trevelyan papers, and other sources. At Midsummer, 1547, “ Maistris Levyn Teerling, paintrix, was receiving quarterly wages of ^11.” In 1556 she presented to Queen Mary, as a new year’s gift, a small picture of the “Trynitie.” In 1558 (the 1st of Elizabeth) she presented “ The Queen’s picture finely painted on a card,” which remained with her Majesty under the care of Mrs. Newton, and had in return “one casting bottell guilt,” weighing 2| oz. In 1561 on the like occasion, XI. there was presented “by Mrs. Lavina Teerling the Queen’spersonne and other personages in a box finely painted.” Thepaintrix received in return “ one guilt salt, with a cover,” weighing 5f ozs. This lady artist, living in four reigns, evidently in high court favour all the time, and painting in miniature entirely, must have produced many portraits “ in little,” some of which ought certainly to have reached our day, but, from want of signature, are probably classed under various headings—Holbein, Hilliard, &c. Attention may be drawn to Case XXXIV., No. 21, a portrait of Edward VI., thin and weak perhaps in tone, but correct in drawing and colour, very probably by her hand. Another artist .Justus Van Cleef, who was certainly painting here as late as 1554, was just the artist to excel in miniature. Conscientious in finish, correct in drawing, and according to Van Mander, the best colourist of his time, he combined all the necessary qualities of the miniaturist in oil. He was celebrated for the drawing of the hands, and with the other artists just named may be answerable for some of the numerous apocryphal Holbeins which are running about the world. Sir Antonio More certainly painted miniatures. He was sent over to England by Philip of Spain, to paint Queen Mary’s likeness. Charles I. possessed a portrait of Mary painted by him on a small round gold plate. The miniatures of this Queen are very scarce. Her reign was short and troubled, too short to produce the inevitable conventional portraits which invariably accumulate during a long reign, such as Henry VIII., Elizabeth, George III., Louis XIV., &c. Zucchero was for a short time in England, from 1574 to 1580. He painted Elizabeth, Sir Nicholas Bacon, Charles Howard, Earl of Nottingham, and others. Tradition associates him with Nicholas Hilliard, as the joint instructors of Isaac Oliver in miniature painting ; it is fair to presume, therefore, that he himself occasionally produced a miniature portrait, and Case XXXV., No. 21, has always been ascribed to him in the family whence it came ; but there is no direct evidence that he painted miniatures. Xll. Having now examined as far as possible, the dim and somewhat speculative list of artists who may be regarded as the pioneers of miniature painting, we may get to surer ground. Up to the reign of Elizabeth, no artist seems to have devoted himself exclusively to portrait miniature as a profession, and it is gratifying to our national pride to think that from this point, for nearly two centuries England stood alone among the nations in keeping up an unbroken chain of artists, who raised the English school of miniature to a higher level than has ever been subsequently attained, either at home or abroad. Nicholas Hilliard has the honour of heading the list. He was the son of Richard Hilliard of Exeter, high sheriff in 1560. Nicholas was born in 1547, and began life as a goldsmith, a profession which has furnished so many artists to the school of miniaturists. What first led him to try his hand at miniature portraits is uncertain, and finding no instructor capable of directing his studies, he himself tells us, in the tract already spoken of, that he adopted Holbein as his model. He must have made rapid progress, as the Earl of Oxford had his portrait by himself at the age of 13. The influence of the illuminators is very marked in his portraits. His colours are opaque, he employs gold to heighten the effect of jewels, dresses, &c., and his faces present the flat shadowless appearance of the saints of the Missal. A very fine portrait of him by himself is in the present Exhibition, Case IX., No. 10. He was high in favour with Elizabeth and James I. as goldsmith, miniaturist, medallist, &c., and died in 1619. Charles I. purchased from his son, Laurence Hilliard, an extra¬ ordinary jewel, bearing portraits of Henry VII., Henry VIII., Edward VI. and Jane Seymour, enamelled on the top with a representation of the Battle of Bosworth, and on the reverse, with the red and white roses. The four portraits (by Nicholas Hilliard) are now at Windsor, the jewel, alas ! has long gone the way of so many others. One jewel remains to us, a pearl of great price, and an Xlll. historic relic of great interest. By the kindness of Mr. Jeffery Whitehead, its fortunate possessor, the Committee are enabled to include it in the present Exhibition. It consists of a tiny book, bound in shagreen, with lovely gold enamelled clasps, a ruby set in the centre of each clasp ; a miniature of the Due d’Alengon at the com¬ mencement and another of Elizabeth at the end, both by Hilliard. The body of the book is of vellum, and contains prayers written in six different languages in a beautiful hand, penned by the great Queen herself. It fully bears out the assertion that Elizabeth was the most cultured woman of her time, and one who must amply have repaid the pains which old Roger Ascham bestowed on her tuition. Few relics of the great past can compete with this tiny book in appealing to our reverence and national pride. There would seem to be some justification for the appellation of “Old Hilliard” given to Nicholas by some of the old writers, for it seems certain that his son Laurence followed in his footsteps. A warrant of the Council is still extant, dated 1624, ordering the payment to him of £42, for five pictures by him drawn. Laurence was still alive in 1634, but nothing is known of any definite work done by him. One or two other names occur about this time, of miniaturists, about whom little is known. John Shute we are quite ignorant of, and the two artists named Betts are almost as mysterious. Their Christian names were John and Thomas. One miniature by Thomas, is in the present Exhibition, Case XXXIV., No. 7, the Earl of Bristol, but whether the two were brothers, or father and son, is quite unknown. The next artists to be considered are Isaac and Peter Oliver , father and son. Walpole thinks the family must originally have been French, as Isaac occasionally signs his name “ Olivier,” and the notes in his pocket book, which has been preserved, are partly in French and partly in English-; but, on the other hand, he certainly wrote a treatise on limning in English. Be this as it may, he was born in Leicestershire in 1556, and died two years before Hilliard, in 1617. XIV. He was taught drawing by Hilliard and Zucchero, and rapidly rose to distinction. His son Peter is said to have been born in 1604, but it must have been earlier. There is an entry in the catalogue of Charles I. which plays havoc with the dates of the two Olivers. A certain miniature painting is thus set down, “ A great limned piece of” the burial of Christ, “which was invented by Isaac Oliver, and was left unfinished at his decease, and now, by his Majesty’s appointment, finished by his son Peter Oliver.” The size of this great piece is given, n\ inches by 1 foot 3^ inches, and is signed by Peter Oliver, and dated 1616. Isaac died in 1617 (his will was proved by his widow, Elizabeth Oliver, at Somerset House, on October 30th, 1617, and the entry of his burial is still to be found in the register of St. Anne’s, Blackfriars, as October 2nd, 1617). How, then, could his son finish and date the picture a year before his father died ? Again, if Peter was born in 1604, he would necessarily have been but 12 years of age when he finished and dated his father’s picture, which of course is incredible. There must be an error somewhere, but it seems incapable of solution. The same register of St. Anne’s gives us also the date of Peter’s funeral, December 22nd, 1647. As these three artists mark a sort of epoch in miniature painting, it may be fair to attempt some comparison between their performances. Hilliard tells us he copied Holbein, and whilst, in certain details, he attained the exactitude which marked the treatment of dress, jewels and accessories by the great German, he never reached anything approaching the character and firmness of treatment found in the tiny pictures of Holbein. His faces were flat and shadowless, and entirely lacking in expression. His drawing was correct, even when he attempted the whole length, as in Case XXXIV., No. 23, but chiaroscuro was utterly wanting. Isaac Oliver was immeasurably his superior in expression and general modelling of features, especially in his later portraits, when he had freed himself from the influence of his instructor. He produced some XV. very noble large miniatures. The “ Henry Prince of Wales,” and full length of “ Sir Philip Sidney,” at Windsor, the “ Earl of Dorset,” in the Jones Collection at South Kensington, and the “ Frances Howard, Countess of Essex” (Case III., No. 46), from Lord Derby’s Collection, now exhibited at the Club, are as fine as any miniatures ever painted. He occasionally painted also in oil. Vertue mentions portraits of himself, his wife and children, a head of St. John the Baptist and the Holy Family. At Welbeck is a portrait of T. Cavendish, the great sea captain, and in Walpole’s time Lord Oxford possessed a portrait of Sir Philip Sidney. His son Peter copied many of the pictures in Charles I.’s Collection in miniature for the King, and his small portraits compare favourably with those of his father, but he does not appear to have attempted any original work which would, in point of size or importance, come up to those we have just mentioned by Isaac. One or two other names about this time may be just mentioned. Cornelius Jansen copied many of his own pictures in miniature size, and the celebrated miniature of Milton, at the age of 10, is by him. Sir Robert Peake , originally a print-seller on Holborn Bridge, received payment from the Council of State as early as 1612, for “ limnings.” Sir Balthazar Gerbier was originally a retainer in the service of the Duke of Buckingham, and is called by Sanderson a common penman. He attended Buckingham in a mission to Spain, and there is a curious letter extant from the Duchess to her lord, wherein she says: “ I pray you, if you have any idle time, sit to Gerbier for your picture, that I may have it well done in little.” He wormed himself into the favour of Charles I., and seems to have been as much employed in the diplomatic dirty work of these intriguing times, as with his pencil. John Hoskins was a fine miniature painter, but the only allusion to him is contained in Graham’s English School, where we are only told “ that he was bred a face-painter in oil, but, afterwards taking to miniature, he excelled what he did before; that he drew XVI. the king, his queen, and most of his court, and had two considerable disciples, Ale-xander and Samuel Cooper, the latter of whom became much the more eminent limner/’ There is a tradition of a son of the same name, and the difference in the signature is supposed to mark the two, but, unfortunately for this theory, there are at least three different ways of writing the I.H., thus: N W I.H. If one son is needed to account for the difference, why not two, seeing that there are three known signatures. The son’s name is nowhere mentioned in any book of reference, though Redgrave says he painted a miniature of James II., but he does not give any authority for the assertion. Just about this time the art of portraiture received quite a revelation, by the presence in England of the great Antwerp painter, Vandyck. He arrived, by Charles’s invitation, in April, 1632. Previous to his time all portraiture had more or less followed the lines of Holbein, and through him of the Van Eyck, or Flemish School. Severe uncompromising treatment, combined with a certain stiffness and want of atmosphere, produced an archaic effect, which, by its very seriousness, compels the admiration of the art student, but in the portraits of Vandyck, replete with life, full of delicate light and shade, reproducing in all their natural grace the lovely models ready to his hand at the court of Charles I., men must speedily have recognised a new dispensation in the portrait art. As Holbein, in the 16th century, in the dawn of “face painting ” led the way for Hilliard and Isaac Oliver, so in the 17th century, Vandyck gave the motif to Samuel Cooper. No words of praise, however great, are too much to bestow on this incomparable artist, and even Walpole’s eulogium, pitched as it is in a high key, does not exceed the limits of truth. “ If a glass could expand Cooper’s pictures to the size of Vandyck’s, they would appear to have been painted to that proportion. If his portrait of Cromwell could be so enlarged, I do not know but Vandyck would appear less great by the comparison.” The literal truth of this criticism must force itself upon the mind of anyone who has ever XVII.; really studied the subject, for it is extremely doubtful whether Vandyck ever produced a portrait, which for strength, broad delineation of character and freedom could surpass many of Cooper’s tiny miniatures. It is a little difficult to say which portrait Walpole had in his mind when he made this comparison. There are several miniature diawings and sketches of the Protector in existence, without doubt by Coopers hand. The peculiarity of them is, that scarce one is finished. This fact almost lends colour to the story that Cromwell consented to sit to Cooper on condition that there should be no repetition of the portrait. Cooper, one day, was so earnestly engaged in surreptitiously copying the miniature he had commenced from life, that he was aroused too late by the heavy step and stern voice of the Protector, who stretched over the painter’s shoulder and took possession of both the miniatures, saying, “ Ho! Ho! Master Cooper, none of that, Sir.” These two miniatures descended to Lady Falconberg, and were afterwards parted for a time, but are now both in the Buccleuch Collection. One is quite finished, a three-quarter face, with a white collar and armour, the other has merely a patch of dark colour as background round the head, which is fairly finished, but the armour and collar are only sketched in. There are other portraits of Cromwell in the same Collection, one finished, taken when he was young, by Cooper, and two profiles, one in a corded coat, the other in oil on copper, but these do not resemble Cooper’s work. There are also two in the Devonshire Collection, one in the same three-quarter position, the background entirely filled in with colour, but the armour, &c., not commenced. The other is a profile sketch in pen and indian ink. The background and dress untouched. This sketch is the one from which Houbraken engraved the portrait of Cromwell in the “ Heads of Illustrious Persons,” though the engraving is a libel on the original. The same sketch probably formed the basis for another profile in the Propert Collection, the latter about the most finished of them all. The portrait in the possession of XV111. Mr. Lawrence is almost identical with the unfinished portrait in the Buccleuch Collection, three-quarter face, and a patch of dark colour just round the head. There is also the picture at Cambridge, in Sidney College, thus described: “ Crayon head, looking left, grey hair, paper 14 by 12 inches.” There may be others hidden away in quiet nooks, but the above are about all that are generally known. Hardly any public man has suffered more at the hand of copyists than Cromwell. Portraits on vellum, paper, ivory and in enamel, many probably contemporary, or nearly so, others palpably bearing the cloven hoof of fraud of a later date, are one and all as glibly assigned to Cooper as are all Henry VIII.’s to Holbein, or all enamels of Louis XIV. to Petitot. He was born in 1619, and studied with his uncle, John Hoskins and is said to have lived and painted for many years in France and Holland before settling in his native country, and true it is, that he must be looked upon rather as the painter of the Commonwealth and Charles II., than of the period before the Civil War. 1643 is the earliest dated miniature we have seen, though of course earlier ones may exist. He died in 1672. His elder brother, Alexander, also studied with his uncle, but he went abroad early in life and resided some years in Amsterdam, and at last entered the service of Queen Christina of Sweden, nothing more being recorded of him. The works of Geoi'ge Jamesone are little known in England, but he was called the Vandyck of Scotland, and indeed they are said to have been fellow pupils under Rubens at Antwerp. Besides his large portraits, he painted many miniatures, and a sample of his work is in the Gallery, Frame 3. When Charles visited Scotland in 1633, he sat to him, and rewarded him with a diamond ring off his own finger. Francesco Cleyn , himself the designer at the King’s tapestry works at Mortlake, was the father of several artists in miniature. On a small print of the father, etched by one of his sons, Evelyn wrote “ a most pious man, father of two sons who were incomparable XIX. painters in little, all died in London.” He also had a daughter named Penelope. Vertue mentions a miniature “like Cooper’s manner, but not so well ” of Dorothea, youngest daughter of Richard Cromwell, October 4th, 1688, signed P. C., and miniatures of very fair execution are occasionally met with, signed with these two letters. It is an interesting question how far the Cleyn family may be credited with many miniatures of the 17th century, which are unsigned, and usually attributed to Cooper, Flatman, Nathaniel Dixon and others. Cleyn taught drawing to that curious little person, Richard Gibson , the dwarf, who was page to a lady at Mortlake, and subsequently entered the King’s service, for whom he produced miniature copies of the King’s pictures, besides original portrait work. He married Anne Shepherd, the same height as himself 3 feet 10 inches, and had nine children, five of whom survived, attain¬ ing a natural size. His son Edward, and his daughter Penelope, who married a jeweller named Rose, were known as miniaturists. David de Grange , or des Granges , was miniature painter to Charles II. in Scotland; he was an engraver as well as miniaturist. He signed his work D. D. G. He was a very unequal painter. There are one or two specimens exhibited here of fair quality, but others turn up occasionally, of by no means first-rate work. With the restoration of Charles II., a new order of art set in. Lely was now the presiding genius, eminently fitted to be the delineator of the rather wanton beauties of the Court. He well pour- trayed the reigning character and “ On animated canvas stole The sleepy eye, that spoke the melting soul.” He taught nearly all the portrait painters of this period, both in great and little, and by Pepys’s description in his diary, lived in great state. Amongst the curiosities of miniature of this century, may be mentioned portraits in needlework, an art which has long since died out, but was much in vogue during the Charles’s reigns. One specimen is shown here, a likeness of XX. Charles I., Case XXXV., No. 36, worked by the Princess Elizabeth, who shared her royal father’s last imprisonment at Carisbrook Castle. Portraits of the Royal Martyr were also wrought in his hair, cut off for the convenience of the executioner, and dipped in his blood. Mary Beale was a pupil of Lely’s, a daughter of a Mr. Cradock, a clergyman at Walton-on-Thames. The details of her life are more fully known than those of most artists, owing to the fact of her husband keeping a most minute diary of all her doings. The most lucrative year she ever had, realised to her ^429. One entry in the diary is of special interest, “Sunday, May 5th, 1672. Mr. Samuel Cooper, the most famous limner of the world, for a face, dyed.” Her son, Charles Beale , also painted in miniature, but failing sight soon obliged him to give up work. Thomas Flatman , another of Lely’s pupils, combined miniature painting with the law and writing poetry. His miniatures appear to have been better than his poems. Indeed, Vertue ranks him equal to Hoskins, and next to Cooper, and undoubtedly he painted remarkably well, a very broad touch, sometimes almost bordering upon coarseness, but full of colour and expression. John Greenhill , the most promising of Lely’s scholars, painted many miniatures, Case XXXV., Nos. 37 and 40, are by him. At first very industrious, he soon fell into a dissolute course of life, and died in the flower of his age. Anne Killigrezv combined poetry and miniature painting, she painted James II. and Mary of Modena, and was well thought of. Gaspard Netscher, a pupil of Terburg, was invited to England by Sir William Temple, and painted many admirable miniatures in oil on copper. His rendering of female portraits is exceeding graceful and his colour good. John Dixon painted both in miniature and crayons. Late in life he became concerned in a bubble lottery, Queen Anne, then Princess, XXI. being a large ticket-holder. The affair turned out a failure, and Dixon was ruined. He retired to the country, where he died in 1715. Of Nathaniel Dixon , signing himself N. D., nothing is known; but he was an admirable miniaturist, somewhat approaching Cooper in character of work, and especially in his fine treatment of the hair. It is curious that so good an artist should have left no record behind him. Matthew Snelling was a gentleman who took to miniature painting for amusement, and being evidently a lady’s man, would never consent to pourtray the stronger sex. His miniatures are seldom met with. William de Keyser , a jeweller of Antwerp, painted in miniature, enamel and oil. He came to England under the auspices of Lord M effort, and was so well received here that he gave up his establish¬ ment at Antwerp and settled in England. Shortly after, the Revolution occurred ; his business left him, and the pursuit of the philosopher’s stone, to which he had recourse in his despair, completed his ruin. He died at the age of 45, but left a daughter, who followed her father’s profession. He was not the only painter who was diverted from his legitimate work by the “ ignis fatuus ” of the philosopher’s stone; even the great Vandyck himself, led on by Sir Kenelm Digby, neglected his pencil, and spent much time and money in his later years in the futile search for this crowning joy of life. Thomas Sadler , son of a Master in Chancery, began by painting miniatures for his own amusement. He was a pupil of Sir Peter Lely, and, owing to reverse of fortune, took to drawing miniatures as a profession. Amongst others he painted John Bunyan, which was engraved in mezzotint, and very highly spoken of. A very charming variety of miniature appears in the 17th century, small portraits executed in lead pencil, then called “ plumbago.” XXII. The men who practised this method were really engravers, who drew these portraits from life, for the purpose of subsequent engraving. David Loggan , George White, and his son Robert, all worked in this manner. Thomas Forster has left many signed portraits in the same medium, but whether he was an engraver or not is uncertain, as there is no account of him anywhere. No. 36 in Case XXXIV., may be commended to anyone who wishes to see to what perfection this art could be brought. John Faber , the older, worked in plumbago, as well as with pen and ink on vellum. He was a native of the Hague, born about 1660. He came to England, probably about 1698. As a mezzotint engraver, his fame has been overshadowed by that of his son. Up to this period, miniature portraits, when painted in water colour, were done on card or vellum, those in oil, on panel, silver, copper and slate, but somewhere about the end of the 17th century, ivory was first used as a basis for the painting. It is difficult to fix the exact date, but it was probably during the reign of James II., or early in the time of William III., Case XXXIV., No. 5, a portrait of the Duke of Schomberg is done on a thick plate of ivory, left quite rough at the back, and utterly unlike the thin ivory slips subsequently used. It was supposed to give greater transparency to the translucid colours of the flesh tints, but after all, there is something very charming about the older vellum portraits. V/hen once ivory became the generally accepted basis for water colour miniatures, transparent colours were more freely used than when card or vellum was in fashion. Certainly this was the case in England, but the use of body colour lasted much longer abroad. Painting in “ gouache’ 1 is to be seen in productions of the French School quite up to the end of the 18th century, indeed it may almost be said that artists who used transparent colour, such as Hall, Isabey, Augustin and a few others were rather exceptions to the rule. The word miniature, as applied to small portraits, is of com- XX 111 . paratively recent introduction. Derived from the Latin word “ Minium,” signifying red lead, in which material all the headings, capital letters, &c., of the most ancient MSS. were drawn, the term came gradually to mean the “ miniatura,” or picture painted by the great artists—part of the illuminated book. When first the fashion of single small portraits commenced, they were called “limmings,” from the Latin verb “ illuminare,” meaning “to decorate.” Dante uses the word “ illuminar ” in the same sense. In early English we find the words “ enlomyne,” “ luminen,”and “limnen.” Whence come to “ limn ” and “ limning.” As late as the Catalogue of Charles I., drawn up by Vanderdoort, the word occurs. The immortal Pepys in his Diary never mentioned the word “ miniature,” always speaking of “painting in little.”* The next author who treats of the subject is Horace Walpole, and he invariably uses the word “miniature,” so that we may fairly place its first introduction some time in the first half of the 18th century. As we have now exhausted the 17th century, it may be as well to digress for a while, and give some account of enamel portraits, which first made their appearance during the century. It is wholly unnecessary for us to enter into the question of the antiquity of enamelling, that is, covering a metal surface with a fusible colour. A great contest has been waged on the subject. Labarte for instance, upholds the theory that enamelling on metal was known to and practised by the Phoenicians and Ancient Egyptians, whilst other authorities contend that what passes for enamel, is nothing more than the filling in of “ Champleve ” cavities with pieces of glass, marble, &c., and that the true art of enamelling on metal was unknown prior to the Christian era. The year 1630 is generally assigned to the first beginning of * Note.— Mr. Murray has been kind enough to give a note on the use of the word “ miniature,” taken from “ Evrard’s Popish Plot,” page 3, which was published in 1679.— “ She further produced a picture in mignature of the said Chancellor.” XXIV. enamel portraiture, as we understand it. About that year, Jean Tout in, a watch maker of Chateaudun, prepared a scheme of colours, opaque and fusible, which, applied on a layer of white enamel spread on a gold surface, were capable of passing through the fire unchanged. He soon perceived the value of his process, if applied to portraiture, but, not possessing the natural talent of a draughts¬ man, he called in the aid of one Isaac G ribetin , who had at the time established a reputation for his portraits in pastel, which Toutin worked out in enamel. This Gribelin must not be confounded with Simon Gribelin, who visited England about 1700, and amongst other works executed a series of engravings from the Raphael cartoons at Hampton Court. Toutin had a certain number of pupils, but they would appear to have confined themselves to the production of watch cases, rings, &c. Following close on the heels of Jean Toutin in point of time, we come to the great high priest of enamel, Jean Petitot , born in Geneva, in 1607. His father was a wood-carver, named Paul Petitot. The family were originally French, but having adopted the Protestant religion, retired to Geneva, where Jean commenced life by enamelling the jewels then so much in vogue. The reputation of Charles L, as the friend and protector of artists, probably induced him to come to England somewhere about 1635, and he showed the King’s jeweller specimens of his work far exceed¬ ing in beauty anything which was then being produced in this country. He was introduced to Charles by Turquet de Mayerne, a Genevese settled in this country, the King’s physician, and a celebrated chemist. Charles at once took Petitot into his service and assigned him an apartment in Whitehall ; he ordered Sir Anthony Vandyck to instruct him in the practice of portraiture, and Mayerne to help him with his chemical knowledge to the acquisition of certain colours which his palette still lacked. Petitot was probably accom¬ panied to England by a fellow-worker named Bordier. There is considerable confusion amongst the authorities about the two XXV. Bordiers, Pierre and Jacques. If there were really two men of that name connected with enamel painting they had both worked in England. The only signed piece of Bordier’s work known, was the wonderful enamelled jewel presented to General Fairfax after the battle of Naseby, signed, “ P. Bordier, fecit.” This was in Walpole’s Collection at Strawberry Hill. During the last troubled years of Charles’s life Petitot left England and went to Paris somewhere about the year 1645. He was very well received by Anne of Austria, Cardinal Mazarin, and later by Louis XIV. He was here joined by Jacques Bordier, and Pierre passes from the scene. Louis XIV. gave Petitot an apartment in the Louvre, and a pension. In 1650 Petitot and Jacques Bordier married two sisters, Marguerite and Madeline Cuper, and from that time to Bordier’s death in 1684, those two men lived and worked together, painting every one of note in the French Court, chiefly from the works of Le Brun, Champagne, Mignard, and the pastels of Nanteuil, as they had done in England from Vandyck and Hont- horst. Fearing the consequences of the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes in 1685, Petitot begged permission to return to Geneva. This was refused, and he was thrown into the prison at Fort L’Eveque, where Bossuet endeavoured to convert him. Whether he yielded to force and signed his recantation, or whether his failing health induced the King to release him, is uncertain, but he returned to Geneva in 1687, being then eighty years of age. Sitters still flocked to him, and, to gain rest, he retired to Vevey, where he died suddenly in 1691, aged eighty-four, whilst engaged on a portrait of his wife. Petitot was forty-five years of age at the time of his marriage, but nevertheless had seventeen children by Margaret Cuper, nine sons and eight daughters. The only one of the family who showed his father’s talent was Jean. He was born in 1652, and at the age of sixteen was already at work on enamel portraits. His father brought him to England in 1677, where he obtained XXVI. the same favour with Charles II. that his father had enjoyed with Charles I. In 1682 he returned to Paris and married Madeline Bordier. He returned to England in 1695, but the date and place of his death are uncertain. The great Jean Petitot perfected the art of enamel portraits. From the time when he placidly drew his last breath in the quiet little Swiss town, there is practically but little to say on the subject. Such as he left it, such it is now, and after the lapse of two centuries and a half, although the majority of miniaturists have tried their hands at enamel, as well as water-colour portraits, he still remains “ facile princeps.” No one has ever approached him. His portraits of English characters are far scarcer than those of the court of Louis XIV. His stay in England probably did not exceed ten years, and during that time he was almost exclusively employed by Charles I. As political troubles thickened, and men’s minds were turned to sterner thoughts, he saw that England was no longer a congenial soil for artistic work, and he retired to Paris. Under the influence of Vandyck, his English portraits are drawn with a freer and bolder touch than he exhibits in his later years. The present Exhibition is peculiarly rich in the works of the two Petitots, father and son, and especially in signed pieces. First comes the celebrated full-length enamel of Rachel de Rouvigny, Countess of Southampton, dated 1642, the largest portrait which it is supposed Petitot produced. Unfortunately it has been sadly injured. This comes from the Duke of Devonshire’s Collection, which includes the Duke of Buckingham, signed and dated 1640, and specially mentioned by Walpole. The Earl of Dartrey has Petitot the younger and his wife, both signed and dated, and from the Collection of Lord Rosebery come two magnificent full length portraits of Louis XIV., and Marie Therese, his wife, in water colour, signed J. Petitot. The “ Duchess of Portsmouth,” Case XXXIV. No. 63, is signed Petitot fils. XXV11. The 18th century commenced badly enough in matters pictorial. It produced giants in literature, but contented itself with pigmies in art. Kneller was still at work as the leading portrait painter, but a sorry substitute indeed for Vandyck, or even for Lely. The man had undoubted talent, but deliberately sacrificed it on the altar of Mammon. He must have been a past master in the art of what modern art slang calls “ pot-boiling,” if it be true that, at his death, 500 canvases were found in his studio, the heads touched in by his hand, but waiting for the journeymen assistants to complete them from the stock costumes of the studio, and the wooden arms and hands of the lay-figure. He passed away, but worse remained behind. Jervas, Vanloo and Hudson succeeded in reaching yet lower depths of mediocrity; but perhaps Hogarth was right when he said, “ The artist and the age are fitted for each other, and the arts, like water, will find their level.” The name of one miniaturist stands out, however, brightly in the midst of the surrounding darkness. Lawrence Crosse was really a great artist “in little,” not sufficiently appreciated by collectors. Some very fine specimens are in the present Exhibition, and a careful examination of their excellent qualities will place him very near the greatest of the masters of the 17th century. He almost always signed his work with “ L. C.” interlaced. Like his predecessor, Peter Oliver, he was celebrated for his copies in miniature size of well-known pictures, and he possessed a very fine collection of the works of Hilliard, the Olivers, &c. Two enamellers were at work early in the century—Boit and Zincke. Charles Boit , the son of a Frenchman, but born at Stockholm, came to England to follow his trade as a jeweller, but soon changed it for enamel portraits. At first he made so little way that he went about the country teaching children to draw. An escapade with one of his pupils caused his detention in prison for two years, during which time he perfected himself in the art of xxvm. enamelling. The prices he obtained for his work appear enormous, receiving for some of his larger plates as much as ^ 5 °°* greatest work was to be an enamel of Queen Anne, surrounded by her court, the Duke of Marlborough, Prince Eugene, &c. The size of the plate was to be 24 by 18 inches. Boit obtained an advance of ,£1,000, and erected a special furnace in May Fair. As no enamel had been made of that size since the old days of Limoges, he wasted a large sum in ineffectual attempts to lay a perfect ground. He obtained a further advance of £700, but before much progress had been made, the Queen died, and the plate was never finished. His goods were seized for debt, he fled to Franee, changed his religion, and was well received by the Regent. As the French had known no enamel painter since the days of Petitot, his works were much sought after ; but he died suddenly in Paris in 1726. Jean Zurich , son of a jeweller, practised both miniature and enamel portraits, but was soon over-shadowed by his countryman, Zincke. Christian Richter , also son of a jeweller, came to England and painted miniatures, strongly coloured, resulting from a study of the works of Dahl. The Genevese Jacques Antoine Artaud was a curious character. He was designed for the church, but preferred miniature painting. He copied the celebrated Leda of Correggio ; but in 1738* i n a fit °f piety, he destroyed this picture in a singular manner. He cut up Leda anatomically, and presented the different members to his friends. His works were much admired, and he received many medals, which are still preserved in the museum at Geneva. There is considerable confusion about the various artists belonging to the Lens family. Walpole, however, gives the history of the family pretty clearly. The first of the name was Bernard Lens , a painter, who died February 5th, 1708, and was buried at St. Bride’s, aged seventy-seven. His son, also Bernard , was a XXIX. mezzotint engraver and drawing master, and drew for Sturt and other engravers. He died April 28th, 1725, aged sixty-six. It was the son of this engraver, also Bernard , the third of the name, who was, in Walpole’s words, “the incomparable painter in water-colours.” He taught drawing to the Duke of Cumberland, the Princesses Mary and Louisa, and to Walpole himself. He copied many works of Rubens, Vandyck, &c., and, according to Walpole, his copies had all the merits of the originals. He left three sons ; the eldest was a clerk in the Exchequer, but the two younger became miniaturists. Their names were Peter and Andrew Benjamin, and their signatures as P. L. and A. B. L. are occasionally met with on miniatures. The whole family were but poor performers. The man who is best remembered in this reign is Christian Frederic Zincke, born in Dresden in 1684, and who came to England in 1706, where he studied with Charles Boit. Walpole goes so far as to say he not only surpassed Boit, but rivalled Petitot. Perhaps this comparison is best given in Walpole’s own words : “ Zincke came to England in 1706, where he studied under Boit, whom at length he not only surpassed, but rivalled Petitot. I have a head of Cowley by him, after Sir Peter Lely, which is allowed to excel any single work of that charming enameller. The impassioned glow of sentiment, the eyes swimming with truth and tenderness, and the natural fall of the long ringlets that flow round the unbuttoned collar, are rendered with the most exquisite nature, and finished with elaborate care.” Happily, this identical enamel is now in the Gallery, Case XXIX., No. 9, and fully bears out all the panegyric bestowed upon it by Walpole. It certainly is as fine as it can be, but Walpole’s remark opens a very large question indeed, which applies not only to Zincke, but to all enamellers, not even excluding the great Petitot; and that question is, the difference between an artist and an art workman. Petitot s “ Rachel de Rouvigny, Zincke s Cowley, or Henry Bone’s “Lady Dysart,” all in the present Exhibition, XXX. is each in its way perfect, but then Vandyck, Lely and Reynolds furnished the originals, and in these cases the enamellers were merely copyists, or art workmen. When we come to consider the “original” work of these men “ad vwum ” in the old phrase, could as much be said? In the case of Petitot it is somewhat difficult to name any original work which can strictly be put down to him. In England, Vandyck, Honthorst and others supplied the originals, whilst in France he copied the portraits of Philip de Champagne, Porbus, Mignard, De Troy and others, and it is really unknown whether Louis XIV., or any members _of his family or Court, ever sat to him. In the case of Zincke, the evidence is more easily attainable. His enamels are very plentiful, and he lived so near to Walpole’s own time that we may trust his remark, that Zincke increased his terms for a portrait from twenty to thirty guineas, in order to limit the number of his sitters. But compare, for instance, the perfect work of Cowley (copied from Lely) with Case XXXIV., No. 98, a portrait of the Duchess of Buckingham and her son, evidently arranged by Zincke from life. Can any contrast be more complete than the grace of the one, and the bad drawing, dreadful composition, and want of taste displayed in the other? Doubtless, we must make all allowance for that numbing curse which has attached to all artists, in all time, the fact of becoming fashionable. So long as the artist’s name is connected with the performance, the public is little apt, and indeed little fitted, to examine the quality, but accepts scamped work and slovenly detail as the evidence of genius ! In the case of Henry Bone the circumstances are somewhat different. He was essentially a copyist, and some of his work is excellent. His “ Lady Dysart,” previously alluded to, is sufficient to fill us with vain regrets, that Reynolds was not an enameller. Could he but have wrapped his works in the sealing fusion of the XXXI. enameller’s kiln, what dreams of beauty would have been secured to the world for all time, and we should not be left to sigh over the wrecks of his work, brought about by the sad tricks he played with the chemistry of colours, and the destructive influence of his nostrums in the shape of the mediums he used. It was during this reign that the erratic meteor, John Stephen Liotard, flashed into England, taking London by storm with his long beard and Turkish fez. He painted admirable miniatures, and occasionally tried enamel; but pastel was his favourite medium. After painting all sorts of people abroad, from Maria Theresa, in Vienna, to the Pashas of Constantinople, he succeeded here so well as to make Reynolds look to his laurels. He paid two visits to this country, leading a wandering life on the Continent during the interval. His works are literally true to nature, but stiff and wanting in ease and grace. He had no power of idealizing, or even refining any portrait he undertook. Devoid of imagination, he appeared incapable of rendering anything but what he saw before his eyes, and yet he was an artist of great merit. We have seen specimens in which the figure is as rigid as a marble bust, but the flesh tints juicy as a Rosalba, and the jewels technically perfect as a Holbein or a Janet. He died about 1790. Joseph Goupy was celebrated in his time ; he taught the Princess of Wales, and was cabinet painter to the King. His uncle Louis Goupy, also taught and practised miniature. Janies Deacon took Zincke’s house in Co vent Garden, and is said to have painted miniatures in a masterly manner. He lost his life by attending a case at the Old Bailey, the day that the gaol fever carried off the Judge, the Lord Mayor, and many of the audience, in May, 1750. Gervase Spencer was a gentleman’s servant, who preferred art to livery. He painted both in miniature and enamel, and especially in the latter case produced many excellent portraits. He died in 1763. XXX11. Thomas Worlidge was for many years of his life a miniaturist, then he tried life-size portraits in oil, but with little success. Ultimately he took to producing etchings in the manner of Rembrandt, and made a very good living by them. He also drew heads in lead pencil. Andrt Ronquet, a Swiss by birth, resided here for many years, and followed Zincke in enamel portraits. He wrote a book “ The Present State of the Arts in England,” from which much valuable information may be gleaned. Art in general, and portraiture in particular, had now reached the lowest point of the receding tide, towards the end of the reign of George II., when happily a turn came, and the flowing waters returned, not imperceptibly and gradually, but with leaps and bounds. A noble band of artists arose almost simultaneously, and names which have become household words in art, Reynolds, Hogarth, Gainsborough, Romney and Wilson, brought our national school of painting, by one great effort, to a higher level than it had ever reached before. These sturdy Englishmen dared to think for themselves, to trample under foot the inanities of their immediate predecessors, and to brush aside the cobwebs of tradition which had endeavoured to “ crib, cabin and confine ” portrait painting within the four corners of a set of rules inexorable and unchanging as the laws of the Medes and Persians. It was not long before miniature painting felt the influence of this great revival, in many respects the most surprising of all the upheavals in the history of art. From this point, viz., 1760 to 1821, or about sixty years, we shall find an uninterrupted succession of miniature artists, quite bewildering in its number, and in the excellence of many of its members. It is hopeless, in a short memoir like the present, to notice them all; besides, in such a numerous body, there were necessarily good, bad and indifferent. It is better to allude shortly to some of the best and most representative artists, and as for the rest, XXX111. the profaners of the human face divine, the daubers and dabblers in this lovely branch of art, oblivion is the happiest fate. Amongst the earliest names of the renaissance, are those of the three enamellers Michael Moser, Jeremiah Meyer and Nathaniel Hone. Like so many other artists in this branch, Mosers work was at first connected with jewellery, but he possessed far too high an artistic feeling to content himself long with this lesser occupation. He became manager of the St. Martin’s Lane Schools, a Foundation Member and first Keeper of the Royal Academy. He distinguished himself as a painter, modeller, sculptor and medallist, and amongst other works executed the Great Seal of England. His daughter, Mary Moser , was a distinguished flower painter, and was also elected an Original Member of the Royal Academy. Jeremiah Meyer , R.A., born at Tubingen in 1735, died at Kew in 1789, practised chiefly in enamel, but possessed the double appointment of enamel painter to George III., and miniature painter to the Queen. He was a foundation member of the Royal Academy, and a capital artist; his enamels are very tender in colour, the drawing excellent, and in finish remind one of the beautiful work of John Smart. His style was founded upon the work of his contemporary Reynolds, from whom he undoubtedly drew the grace and elegance always found in his later works. These remarks apply equally to his enamels and his water colour miniatures. Nathaniel Hone painted both in water colour and enamel. He was a foundation member of the Royal Academy, but in consequence of his hatred of Reynolds, formed a very turbulent member of that body. He commenced to paint portraits in oil, life-size, but met with no success, and as he failed to displace Reynolds in popular esteem, he lost no opportunity of vilifying and satirising him. His enamels are better than his water-colour miniatures. He was born in Dublin in 1718, and died in 1784. XXXIV. Horace Hone was the son, not the brother of Nathaniel, as has been sometimes stated. He was elected Associate of the Academy, but never quite equalled his father as a miniaturist. He died in 1825, aged 69. William Prewitt was a pupil of Zincke's, who has left us a signed piece, now at South Kensington, showing his masters brilliant colour, but exhibiting the same faults of tonality, which characterise Zincke’s work. Richard Crosse, 1742-1810, born at Knowle, near Cullompton, Devonshire. He was deaf and dumb, an affliction from which one of his sisters also suffered. He came to London, and obtained a premium at the Society of Arts in 1758. He first exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1770, and in 1790 was appointed painter in enamel to his Majesty. He formed an attachment to Miss Cobley about 1778, who, however, refused him, and subsequently married Benjamin Haydon, and was mother of B. R. Haydon, the famous historical painter. This blow embittered Crosse’s life, and caused him to shun general society. He died at Knowle in 1810. Few contemporary artists excelled him in certain qualities, such as lovely delicacy of colour and conscientious finish, yet retaining quite a character of his own. Samuel Finney, 1719-1798, eldest son of Samuel Finney, of Fulshaw, Cheshire. His family being in pecuniary difficulties, he came to London to study law, but quitted that profession for miniature painting. In 1765 he was appointed “enamel and miniature painter ” to Queen Charlotte. He amassed a fortune sufficient to pay off the incumbrances on the old family estate, and in 1769 retired to Fulshaw, where he became a Justice of the Peace and devoted the remainder of his life to quelling the riots then so prevalent in that part of Cheshire, and in local improvements. There were two artists named Collins, Samuel and Richard. XXXV. Samuel Collins was the son of a clergyman, and educated as an attorney. He took to painting miniatures, and Ozias Humphry was his pupil. He practised chiefly at Bath and Dublin, but details of his later life are wanting. Richard Collins first exhibited miniatures at the Royal Academy in 1777, and in 1787 was appointed principal enamel and miniature painter to George III., and enjoyed a large share of fashionable patronage. Considering the number of portraits he must have painted it is somewhat curious that more of his work does not appear in collections. Miniatures are occasionally met with, signed R. C., and of course are set down to Richard Cosway, but they probably represent the work of Richard Collins. He died in London in 1831. Adam Buck painted large portraits in oil, small portraits in crayons, and water colour miniatures. His works as miniatures are not very good, generally profiles, and hard in touch. He first exhibited at the Academy in 1795. He had a brother Frederick, who practised in Ireland. Richard Cosway , R.A ., was born in Tiverton in 1741. He was taken in, whilst a boy, by Mr. Shipley, the proprietor of the drawing school in the Strand, to wait upon the students, and carry in the tea and coffee, which Shipley’s housekeeper was allowed to provide, and for which she charged threepence a head. Some of the students, amongst whom where Nollekens, Smith, and others, gave Dick, as the boy was called, instruction in drawing, and finding him to have talent, advised him to try for a prize in the Society of Arts, and in 1755 he obtained a premium of ^5 5s. for a drawing, repeating the performance each year up to 1760. Soon after this, he taught drawing in Parr’s drawing school, also in the Strand, and painted fancy miniatures, tops of snuff boxes, &c., for the jewellers. With the money thus gained he transformed himself from a very dirty little boy into the smartest of fops, which induced Mat Darley, the famous caricature printseller, to put an etching of him in his window XXXVI. in the Strand, as “ The Macaroni Miniature Painter,” a name by which he was ever after known. He lived first in Orchard Street Portman Square, then at No. 4 Berkeley Street, opposite the Duke of Devonshire s wall. At that time he kept a black servant, who seems to have been a literary character, having published an octavo work on slavery. About this time Cosway married Maria Hadfield, daughter of an hotel-keeper at Leghorn or Florence ; the celebrated Charles lownley, giving the bride away. From Berkeley Street he removed to Pall Mall, to a house which had previously known many artist tenants. Jervas had lived there ; next was Ashley the paintei, who married Lady Duckenfield j after him came Nathanie Hone, who kept a famous black woman in it as his model. Cosway’s immediate predecessor was the celebrated “Celestial Doctor Graham” who is said to have exhibited there Emma Lyon, afterwards Lady Hamilton, as Hygeia the Goddess of Health. Cosway’s next move was to Stratford Place, the house at the south-west corner with a lion outside it. Before he was really settled there, the terrible verses, said to have been written by Peter Pindar (Doctor Wolcot) were stuck upon his door :— “ When a man to a fair for a show brings a lion, ’Tis usual a monkey the sign-post to tie on ; But here the old custom reversed may be seen, For the lion s without, and the monkey’s within.” He at once gave up the house and removed to No. 20 in the same stieet, which he occupied up to his death. He furnished his new abode in a most sumptuous manner. Everything of the rarest and choicest description was there in profusion ; china, bronzes, inlaid furni¬ ture, Persian carpets, old armour, tapestries, &c., filled every room. They had one child, a daughter, who died young, and Cosway had the body preserved in an embalmed state in a marble sarcophagus, which stood in the drawing-room in Stratford Place. On Mrs. Cosway’s return to England, after an absence of several years, she caused the body XXXV11. to be interred in Bunhill Row Cemetery, and sent the sarcophagus to Nollekens, the sculptor, to take care of for a time. It is a curious coincidence, that at the very hour the sarcophagus was being removed to the residence of Nollekens, Cosway died on the road to Edgware, in the carriage of his old friend, Miss Udney, who frequently took him for a drive in his old age. He was eighty years old, and was buried in Marylebone Church. He hardly ever signed his portraits on the front, but occasionally wrote on the back the pompous announcement; “ Ric dus- Cosway, R.A., Primarius Pictor Serenissimi Walliae Principis pinxit.” The account here given of Cosway’s early life differs somewhat from the generally received history of him. It is usually recorded, that, sent up to London from Tiverton, he was placed with Hudson the portrait painter, the master of Reynolds. The above has been taken from Smith’s book, “ Nollekens and his times.” Mr. Smith's father, together with Nollekens and others, was a pupil at Shipley’s drawing school at the time “ Dirty little Dick ” was received there, and helped to instruct him in drawing. It seems difficult to throw aside evidence so direct and apparently trustworthy. Maria Cosway, his wife, was a good artist. She painted in oil, in miniature, and drew in pencil, designs for engraving. She left her husband for some years, becoming the Superioress of a Nunnery at Lyons, but returned to England shortly before his death. Ozias Humphry , R.A., was a charming painter, his colour is as brilliant as Petitot’s, and yet marked by the same exquisite tonality, whilst the labour he bestowed on the finish of the surface almost rivals the result obtained in the kiln of the enameller. John Smart is the only other artist who reached the same curious enamel like look in water colour. He belonged to an old family at Honiton, in Devonshire, that county which has contributed so largely to the brethren of the brush. He first studied with Samuel Collins, an indifferent miniaturist and a very worthless fellow. Collins fled XXXV111. from his creditors, and young Humphry returned to Honiton. Determined to make his way, he borrowed a guinea from his mother and set out on his travels, first to Exeter, and then to London, where he entered Shipley’s drawing school, at that time the centre which attracted all the men who afterwards became famous. Thence he went to Bath, and lodged with Linley, the musician, whose lovely daughter, afterwards Mrs. Sheridan, then in her ninth year, but already possessing the sweetest of voices, cheered his painting hours by singing to him. After remaining at Bath for some time, he returned to London, and being a devoted admirer of Reynolds, boldly showed him some of his miniatures. When Reynolds heard that he was from Devon¬ shire, and that his mother was a lace-maker, he exclaimed—" Born in my county, and your mother a lace-maker. Why, Vandyck’s mother was a maker of lace 1 ” and immediately took the young painter under his protection. He rented lodgings near his patron at 21 Ivmg Street, Covent Garden, and soon got into the full tide of work. In 1773, broken-hearted by the refusal of James Payne, the architect, to accept him as the suitor of his daughter, he determined to travel, and visited Rome with Romney. After an absence of four years he returned to England, and soon after he received, by post, one morning, a letter from Dr. Wolcot (better known as Peter Pindar) dated from Truro, asking him as a personal favour to receive into his house “ an uncouth, raw-boned, country lad,” about fifteen years of age, with whom he had encumbered himself, and (to use the Doctor’s own words) who had “run mad with paint.” This youth offered his services to Mr. Humphry to clean his brushes and palettes, and to make himself useful in the common concerns of his house without wages, and all for the pleasure of being with a painter of his knowledge and eminence. The raw-boned lad afterwards became the celebrated John Opie, R.A., and lecturer on painting to the Royal Academy. In 1785 Humphry went to India, and XXXIX. painted the Rajahs and Begums. In 1788 he returned to England and resumed his profession, and in 1790 was chosen a member of the Royal Academy. He died in March 18 ro. Romney painted a remarkably fine likeness of him, now at Knowle. Why is it that so little mention is made in any work on art of Andrew Ptimer? Bryan knows him not, nor is he mentioned in Redgrave’s “ Century of Painters,” and yet he was second only to Cosway, and indeed, until comparatively recent times, his work was generally set down to that vain little person. Even the date of his birth is unknown.* He was born at Bridgewater, and first exhibited miniatures at the Royal Academy in 1786. He is said to have painted subject- pictures in oil, and also to have tried his hand at enamel. He exhibited at the Royal Academy up to 1819, and died in 1837. His brother, Nathaniel Ptimer, was decidedly inferior to him in every way. John Smart was at work early in the renaissance of miniature, his first exhibited work bearing date in 1762. The distinguishing features of his work are an exquisite finish of surface, and very correct colour. Without the amalgamating influence of the enameller’s kiln such absolute flatness of tints as was obtained by John Smart and Ozias Humphry seems almost incredible. He was largely employed by the Royal Family, and was deservedly one of the most fashionable miniaturists of the day. Like Humphry he spent some years in India, but returned to England, and died in London in 1811, in his seventieth year. He almost always signed with his initials, J.S. Samuel Shelley was a self-taught genius, born in Whitechapel. He educated himself by copying the works of Reynolds, and has left many historical and poetical subjects treated “in little.” In miniature portraits he founded his style upon Cosway, and in the * Since this was written, information has reached the Committee that Andrew Plimer was born in Bridgewater, 21st December, 1764* and christened in the parish church. xl. present day many a specimen from his hands passes muster as the work of that artist. In the treatment of the hair, he somewhat resembled him, but the flesh tints are generally in a greyer and cooler key than Cosway’s. He died in 1808. James Nixon mas appointed “limner” to the Prince Regent, and “ miniature painter ” to the Duchess of York—the old word, “limner” had so long passed away, that its revival sounds quite strange. He was an excellent miniaturist, and a first-rate draughts¬ man. Like nearly all the best artists of this period, he consciously or unconsciously recalls Reynolds in pose, colour, and general treatment. He became A.R.A., and died in 1812. Henry Bone commenced life as a painter of flowers and landscapes on china, and then came to London and worked as an enameller of watches and the fashionable trinkets of the period. Desirous of doing better things, he studied the chemistry of fusible. colours, fluxes and other details of the enameller’s art, with such success that his copy in enamel of Reynolds’s “Sleeping Girl,” exhibited at the Academy in 1780, at once brought him into public notice. The Prince of Wales, for many years, bought his finest enamels, and he was appointed successively enamel painter to George III., George IV. and William IV. He was elected A.R.A. in 1801, and R.A. in 1811. The greatest part of his work consisted in copying the pictures of others, both ancient and modern. Titian, Raphael, Murillo and Reynolds supplied him with subjects. He was a prodigious worker, and has left several series of portraits as evidences of his persevering labour. The members of the Russell family, from the time of Henry VII., the Royalists distinguished during the Civil War, eighty- five portraits of the great men of Queen Elizabeth’s reign, are but examples of his industry. He occasionally obtained large prices for his enamels. The “Bacchus and Ariadne” was sold for 2,200 guineas, and yet in his old age he was compelled to accept the Royal Academy pension. He died in his seventy-eighth year, in 1834. His son, Henry Pierce Bone , executed some enamels from life, but he cannot be said to equal his father in colour or drawing. One of the most graceful miniaturists of the time was Henry Edridge , A.R.A . Many of his portraits remind one of the more finished pencilled portraits of Cosway. The head is always wrought up to the most careful finish, the figure gracefully, but somewhat slightly touched in, the hands beautifully drawn, but sometimes left quite uncoloured. He also executed many portraits on paper, with a lead pencil, and thin washes of Indian ink. He had a great feeling for landscape art, and some of his water-colour sketches, made in France in 1817, possess very considerable merit. He became A.R.A. in 1820, but was then in ill health, both mental and bodily. He had lost, in rapid succession, his two children—a son and a daughter—in the flower of their youth, and he never recovered the blow. He died in 1821, and was buried in Bushey churchyard. George Engleheart , 1752-1839. A younger son of Francis Engleheart, a member of a noble Silesian family, who came to England in the time of George II., and settled at Kew. Engleheart was a pupil of Sir Joshua Reynolds. In 1790 he was appointed miniature painter to the King. He exhibited numerous miniatures at the Royal Academy between 1773 and 1812, and made a considerable fortune by his art. His work is tender in colour and correct in drawing. The treatment of the hair, the full large eye, and juicy flesh colour, remind one at every turn of the great Cosway. He generally signed E. He had a nephew J. C. D. Engleheart , who first exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1802. His works are by no means equal to those of his uncle. Luke Sullivan , born in 1705, died in 1771, began life as an engraver, and assisted Hogarth in the production of many of his plates. The “March to Finchley” is by his hand. He afterwards xlii. became a fashionable miniaturist. His female portraits were especially successful. He possessed the happy faculty of idealising whilst preserving a strict likeness. Henry Spicer was one of the numerous art staff of the Prince of Wales, chiefly practising in enamel. His work is marked by chaste colour and correct drawing, and he stands high in the rank of contemporary enamellers. Charles Sheriff was deaf and dumb. His works are not numerous, but he must have been a very tolerable artist if Mrs. Siddons’s recommendation is to be trusted. She writes in 1785, that he was more successful in her portrait than any miniature painter she had sat to. Samuel Cotes was a younger brother of Francis Cotes, R.A. His father was an apothecary in Cork Street, Burlington Gardens, and Samuel was brought up to his fathers profession. He greatly preferred art, and stimulated by his brother’s success, took to miniature painting. He succeeded admirably in crayon portraits, and produced some very good enamels; but his water colour miniatures are fair, but not brilliant specimens. John Plott had a varied experience. He commenced life as clerk to an attorney. Finding art a more congenial employment, he became a pupil of Richard Wilson as a landscape painter, and then assisted Nathaniel Hone in miniature and enamel. He afterwards practised independently, and was a frequent exhibitor at the Royal Academy. Sir Henry Raeburn , R.A. , must strictly be classed as a miniaturist, seeing that his success in that branch of art induced him to leave his trade as a goldsmith and take to portraiture. He became President of the Scotch Academy. He was a vigorous painter, a good colourist, and rarely failed to catch the characteristic traits of his subject. Anne Foldsone , better known as Mrs. Mee, began work at the xliii. end of the 18th century, though she only commenced exhibiting at the Royal Academy in 1804. She was the eldest daughter of John Foldsone, a painter. There are miniatures signed on the back “Anne Foldsone.” Judging by these specimens, her early work far exceeded the efforts of her later years. Though rather too ruddy in colour, the technique is excellent, and the drawing perfect, She was extensively patronised by George IV., and many works by her are at Windsor; but compared with the early work already alluded to, they are but poor performances. They bear a sort of careless, slipshod look, quite second-rate in quality. She lived to a great age, and died in 1851. John Bogle , who practised in Scotland in early life, moved to London in 1772 and continued an exhibitor until 1792. He almost caught the smooth enamel-like surface of Smart, though hardly equalling him in beautiful colour. William Grimaldi , born 1751, a pupil of Worlidge’s. He practised his art in many provincial towns, and settled in London in 1788. He was miniature painter to George III., Duke and Duchess of York, and George IV. Many specimens by his hand are at Windsor, but he can hardly be placed in the same category as many other artists of the time. He died in 1830. Charlotte Jones, commenced as an exhibitor in 1801, and was a special favourite of the Princess of Wales, whose portrait she painted a good many times. She was a very good artist, correct in colour and drawing. Mary Benwell was another very fair miniaturist, first exhibiting in 1761 ; several of her works were engraved by Houston, Charles Knight, and others. William Wood, born 1760, ought to be much better known than he is. A recent sale at Ipswich, at the house occupied by his descendants, has brought to light records of his work, and many specimens from his brush come uncommonly near in technique and xliv. beauty to the work of Cosway. By his note books he must have painted an amazing number of most excellent portraits. One of the curiosities of the period of which we are now treating, was the outburst of female amateur talent. Whether or no set on foot by the example of the fair Swiss, Angelica Kauffman, who took the town by storm in 1765 ; certain it is, that many lady artists were at work just then whose performances were in many respects ecjgal to the professional work of the period. Lady Lucan (Margaret Smith, wife of Sir Charles Bingham, Baron Lucan in Ireland) was an accomplished miniaturist. She did many original portraits, but also largely copied the works of the Olivers, Hoskins, Cooper, &c. Two specimens of her work, signed “ M. L.,” are in the present Exhibition. Lady Spencer, a pupil of Sir Joshua Reynolds, was an excellent artist, of the Kauffman school. Many of her classical drawings were engraved by Bartolozzi. Lady Diana Beauclerc, daughter of the Duke of Marlborough, and wife of Popham Beauclerc, both drew and modelled in clay. She painted a celebrated likeness of the beautiful Duchess of Devonshire, and the Bartolozzi engraving of her two daughters, from a drawing by her, became one of the fashionable prints of the day. She drew and modelled many designs for Josiah Wedgwood, which he produced as tablets in his jasper ware, some of which, especially those of children, come very near Flaxman’s designs for the great potter in grace of conception and beauty of form. Miss Frances Reynolds, sister to Sir Joshua, took up miniature painting as an amusement. Dr. Johnson said he sat to her ten times. Miss Theophile Palmer, niece of Sir Joshua Reynolds, the “Offy” of their family life, and afterwards Mrs. Gwatkin, was a very successful miniaturist. Mrs. Darner succeeded in a more difficult walk of art than xlv. painting. Walpole’s panegyric of her as a sculptress was probably born rather in his heart than in his head. “ Mrs. Damer’s busts from the life are not inferior to the antique.” She was a pupil of Bacon’s. Lady Templetown, Miss Crewe, and others, were really good artists, and supplied Bartolozzi with subjects for engraving, and Wedgwood with designs for his medallions and plaques. A review of the 19th century artists will not detain us long. About the first name met with in this century is that of Andrew Robertson. He was born in Aberdeen in 1777. On his arrival in London in 1800, he attracted the notice of Benjamin West, P.R.A., who sat to him for his portrait in miniature. This was the beginning of a successful career, and for many years, on the decline of Cosway and his contemporaries, he occupied the first place in the fashionable world. Many of his pupils became distinguished miniaturists, Sir William Ross amongst the number. Robertson possessed a cultivated mind in many ways; he was a good writer, a first rate musician, and a very charitable man. He died at Hampstead in 1845. His work is always well finished, correct in drawing, but sometimes crude in colour, is rather pretty than vigorous, hardly equalling the quality of his immediate predecessors. James Holmes was, like Andrew Robertson, possessed of many accomplishments. He was born in 1777, and first apprenticed to an engraver. Subsequently he painted both in oil and water colour, exhibiting genre pictures, generally of a humorous character, as well as portraits. His chief work, however, was that of a miniaturist. He painted George IV. and most of the Royal family. Lord Byron was especially partial to him, and sat to him several times. The fine portrait of the poet, now in the Collection of Isaac Falcke, Esq., was engraved for the collection of Byron’s works, and is admirable in every way. His musical talents secured to him the special intimacy of the King, whilst his great conversa- xlvi. tional powers and genial nature endeared him to a wide circle of the best society. One of the most original of the miniaturists of the century was Alfred Edward Chalon , R.A. He was born in Geneva in 1780, and with his brother was placed in a mercantile house on the arrival of his family in England. The drudgery of a commercial life was highly distasteful to both brothers, and with his father s consent Alfred entered as a student at the Royal Academy in 1797. He soon acquired a bold dashing style of drawing, which he retained to the end of his life. His miniatures on ivory are full of character, the accessories, such as drapery, lace, &c., touched in with a spirit and elegance peculiarly his own. He is, however, almost better known by his small full-length portraits, nine or ten inches high. Hardly a celebrity in the first half of this century escaped him, and from Her present Majesty downwards, all passed under the hands of Alfred Chalon. Though French in manner, he was a true Englishman in heart, an accomplished musician, keen wit, and most genial host. He survived to a good old age, surrounded by troops of friends, and died in i860, aged eighty years. Sir William Ross, R.A., has already been spoken of as a pupil of Andrew Robertson. A delicate child, and debarred on that account from following the usual rough games of boyhood, he amused himself from his earliest years in taking likenesses. When quite young he carried off gold and silver medals from the Society of Arts and Royal Academy. Through his association with Robertson, his daily work was miniature painting, but his ambition was to become an historic painter. He had already gained a medal for an oil painting, “The Judgment of Brutus,” and in 1825 he exhibited a large oil painting at the Royal Academy, “ Christ casting out the Devils from the Maniacs of the Tombs,” but his art-strength, if not his inclination, lay in the direction of miniature portraits, and in that branch he divided with Chalon and Sir William Newton all the xlvii. work of the last years of miniature. He painted the whole of the Royal Family of Engand, of Belgium, and Portugal, and a genera¬ tion of the best and fairest of his own country sat to him. It was not his fault if he fell on evil times in the matter of female attire. The high combs, turbans, senseless ringlets half covering the face, and loose slovenly dresses of a short half-century back, contrasted too painfully with the flowing lines and graceful coiffure which enabled Reynolds, Gainsborough, and Cosway to present to us such marvels of female beauty during the latter part of the 18th century. He had all the attributes of a first-rate miniature painter. Refined and accurate drawing, artistic composition, admirable colour, and tasteful arrangement of accessories, would have placed him in the first rank at any epoch of portraiture, whilst his amiable and simple manners and blameless life, endeared him to all who shared his friendship. He died in the same year as his bosom friend, Alfred Chalon, i860, in his sixty-sixth year. William Essex deserves mention as an enameller. He had thoroughly studied the chemistry of the subject, and his brother Alfred wrote a treatise on the art of enamelling. He was an admirable draughtsman, and as great as an animal painter as he was clever in delineating the human face. William Egley, born in 1798 at Doncaster, was apprenticed to a publisher in London. He taught himself the art of miniature painting, and first exhibited at the Academy in 1824. From that year up to 1869 he was a constant exhibitor, and is perhaps the very last artist who did really good work. At this point the history of miniature painting comes to a full stop. The advent of the photographer’s camera put an end to the delightful cult which we have been tracing through three centuries of existence. xlviii. Jfortign hools. FRENCH SCHOOL. It seems hardly right to close this short history without some reference to the foreign schools of miniature painting. The task is by no means so easy as in the case of England, for here the new art struck immediate root, and produced an unbroken series of brilliant artists, who devoted their whole time and talents to painting miniature portraits ; in the other case, it was pursued in a casual and desultory manner. As a consequence, the literature relating to the subject is almost nil , and until the general outburst in the 18th century, information is very scanty. And yet in France, the art began well, and at about the same time as in England, with the great family of Clouet. In the year 1475, when Louis XI. was preparing to crush the power of Charles the Bold, Duke of Burgundy, and to annex the fair Duchy to the realms of France, a modest entry appears in the Ducal accounts that a certain Jehan Clouet and Henry Bonem have received the sum of 37 livres 4 sous, for work done. Bonem signs the receipt as carpenter and cabinet worker, and Clouet as painter. From this obscure record, tradition has sought to establish that this Jehan or Jean Clouet was the first of this artistic family, who, in the succeeding century, raised the French school of portraiture to a very high standard. In the accounts of the French Household for the year 1518, the name of Jean Clouet appears as “peintre ordinaire.” xlix. This artist is generally known as Jean Clouet II. to distinguish him from his Burgundian father. Whilst the Royal Court was held at Tours (it was moved to Paris in 1525) Clouet married Jeanne Boucault, the daughter of Gacien Boucault, a goldsmith of the town. This marriage must have occurred much earlier than usually stated, as the earliest known work of their celebrated son, Frangois Clouet, the portrait of the Dauphin Frangois, eldest son of Francis I., now in the museum of Antwerp, must have been painted about the year 1524. From an early period in the history of the family, the name of Clouet almost ceased to be used, and they gradually assigned the popular application of Jannet, or Janet, by which name the son, Frangois, is ordinarily known. In the year 1529, another Clouet makes his appearance. Marguerite of Valois, sister to Francis I., “ La bonne reine Margot of the Troubadours,” had just married the King of Navarre. In a letter written by her from Fontainebleau to the Chancellor of Alengon, she says she has arranged to take into her service “le peintre, frere de Jannet, peintre du Roy.” M. de Laborde thinks this must have been a son of Jean Clouet II., and brother of Frangois ; but as the latter only became “peintre du Roy” at his father’s death, which certainly occurred long after 1529, there can be little doubt that this Clouet was a brother of Jean Clouet II. and uncle of Frangois. Nothing further is known of this artist, but No. 59, Case XXXIV., a portrait of Margaret of Navarre, sober in tint, accurate in detail, with the heavy impasto common in these early works, and a certain sharpness of out¬ line, telling of Flemish influence, is very probably the work of this unknown Clouet. Jean Clouet II. died in 1541, and Frangois Clouet immediately succeeded him as “peintre ordinaire et valet de chambre.” Various entries in the Royal Household accounts carry on the art work of Frangois up to 1570, when he painted the portrait of Elizabeth, daughter of Maximilian II., on her marriage with I. Charles IX., son of Catherine de Medicis. Though no official record tells us, he must have lived for some years after this. His portrait of Henri III., at Stafford House, could not have been painted much before 1580, judging by the apparent age of the King ; and the very fine miniature of the Due d’Alenqon in the Jones Collection at South Kensington, where he is represented holding the portrait of Elizabeth of England, would date about the same time as the Duke’s visit to England to solicit the hand of the Virgin Queen, in 1581. The crayon portraits of the Clouet period form a very interesting, but embarrassing, portion of the art work of the family. Altogether, in the different collections of Europe, probably there are 3,000 known and catalogued, and considering the destruction which has overtaken all old art-work, this large mass would represent but a small portion of what once existed. They vary from nearly life size to that of a miniature and are unequal in merit. Some few, in the breadth and freshness of touch, seem clearly taken from life ; others though highly finished, betraying the more mechanical work of an artist versed in engraving, whilst very many are so slovenly and coarse in execution, that they evidently proceed from the hand of a mere copyist, and a poor performer too. In several instances, the same portrait is seen reproduced three or four times over in the same collection. Doubtless some of this mass were actually drawn by the Clouets, but who shall say to which the palm is to be awarded ? As regards the true miniature work of the family the same uncertainty prevails. Of Jean Clouet II. nothing is known; but several specimens still exist, attributed to Francois. Such are the six small whole-lengths, in the Hamilton Collection, of Henri II., Henri III., Charles IX., Catherine de Medicis, Le Grand Dauphin, and Claude of France ; the whole-length of the Due d’Alengon at South Kensington ; the bust portrait of Francois I., which was sold in the Addington Collection ; Francois II., in the present collection, No. 26, Case XXXV., and last, though not least, the magnificent portrait li. of Mary Queen of Scots at Windsor. These are all painted in oil on copper, except the Francois II., which is on slate. Considering that these two artists were continuously employed on portrait painting for nearly a century, it is astonishing how few remain which can, without doubt, be ascribed to either of them ; but a critical examination of this point is outside the limits of our present purpose. Various artists are named from this period up to the middle of the 17th century as miniaturists, but they seem to have combined various pursuits, such as illuminating, engraving, flower and landscape painting, &c., and can hardly be classed in the same category as the English artists of the same time, who executed miniature portraits and nothing else. Hans Bol , for instance, 1534-1593, in addition to portraits, seems to have been the forerunner of the Van Blaren- bergnes, in his microscopic landscape, crowded with numerous figures. Other artists, we find, are William Baur, 1600-1640, Samuel Bernard, 1615-1687, Louis Hans, 1615-1658, Richard Masson , and Jacques Bailly. When the enamellers arose, Toutin and Petitot, a fresh start took place, and the introduction of “ boites a portrait ” by Louis XIV., as presents to diplomatic personages, often enriched by diamonds, bearing the portrait of the great King in enamel, afforded plenty of work to these artists and their successors. It has become so com¬ pletely the habit to call every enamel portrait of the time a “ Petitot,” that it seems almost a sacrilege to suggest that other contemporary artists were employed by the State, as well as the celebrated Genevese. Louis de Chatillon, 1639-1754, was engraver, enamel painter and miniaturist. According to Mariette, his enamels were in every respect perfect. He produced an amazing number, and yet they are said to be very rare. It is not known that he signed his work, and it is more than probable that many a Petitot portrait really was the work of his hand. Another artist of the same class was Jacques Philippe Ferrand, 1633-1732. He was the son of Louis Ferrand, physician to Louis XIII., and attained a position lii. (according to the French authorities) “hors ligne.” Perr atilt, of whom no particulars are known, is spoken of in 1700 as a first- rate enameller. Quite a long list of artists, enamellers and water¬ colour painters, are found in the accounts of the Ministry of Foreign affairs, as furnishing portraits of the reigning Monarch, for insertion in these boxes. Mlademoiselle de la Boissiere, Bom dm, and Frederic Bruckmann, a Swede, who seems to have painted enamels of the king in quite a wholesale manner, judging by two entries in the ai chives. Here is one of them—Nov. 20, 1696, “ Recu de M. de Pontchartrain douze portraits emailles en bas-relief par Frederic Bruckmann, Suedois a soixante francs, 720 francs.” What this enamelling in bas-relief was, it is hard to say. Twice over, he furnished nineteen portraits of the same kind. It is small wonder that portraits of Louis XIV. are so commonly met with. Others of the state artists were Mademoiselle Chateau, Jean Cotelle, Jean Ecman, the family of Du Guernier, celebrated also for the lovely fans of the Louis XIV. period, Henry Cher on, and his accomplished daughter, Elizabeth Sophie Cheron, and Richard Van Orley. Amongst the State artists of Louis XV., Jean Baptiste Masse, 1688-1767, was the chief. He learned drawing of Jouvenet, and enamelling of Chatillon. Madame Maubert, Jean Adam Matthieu, Oudry, Penel, Jean Prevost, Raphael Bachi, a very wholesale purveyor of Royal portraits, Andre Rouquet , who also wrote many works on art, Peter Paul Seuin, who painted large portraits on vellum. The Turenne, on horseback, in the Jones Collection in South Kensington, is by him ; Nicolas Venevault, and many others. As these artists rarely signed their work, we shall probably never be able to trace their hands by any technical peculiarities. Hitherto, the production of miniature portraits in France had been largely confined to the reigning monarch and the court circle, but in 1720, the talented Italian Rosalba Carrier a visited Paris, and created quite a furore there. She was born in Chiozza, near Venice, in 1673, and died in Paris, 1757. She worked in oil, water colour and pastel. On her arrival in Paris, she was elected with acclamation a Member of the Academy, and gave quite an impetus to the French school of miniature. She certainly merited all the praise she received. She combined in an unusual degree, grace of design with charming colour. There is a refinement, a tender¬ ness of tint, and delicacy of handling in her portraits, surpassed by no artist of the 18th century, and equalled by few. Ten years before her death she lost her sight, from over application during very many years, but she found consolation in a life of active benevolence, and the sympathy and respect which surrounded her to the last. Jacques Charlier was of the same period, and worked much for the Court. His portraits are in excellent colour, painted in a broad manner with a full brush. The two Drouais were excellent artists. The father, Hubert, 1699-1767, studied under De Troy, and painted in oil, pastel and water colour. His son Francois Hubert was appointed painter in ordinary to the King, and executed a large number of State portraits for insertion in rings, bracelets and snuff boxes. We have now arrived at an epoch when miniatures had become almost as numerous in France as in England. As this short memoir is not intended to supply the place of a dictionary of miniature painters, but merely to trace the successive steps in the development of miniature portraits, we shall not attempt to name all the artists who flourished under Louis XVI., and from that time to the melan¬ choly advent of photography, but will merely mention briefly some of the more celebrated. No French artist is better known, not only amongst collectors, but even by the general public, than Jean Baptiste Isabey. Born at Nancy in 1767, died in Paris, 1855. His intimate connection with Napoleon, who was very fond of him, and the con¬ sequent introduction he thus obtained to all the celebrated men and liv. women of the time, placed him in a position probably unattained by any other artist. It was said of him that he had painted every celebrated character in Europe. His first introduction to Napoleon was owing to the fact of his having taught drawing to the young Hortense de Beauharnais at the celebrated school of Madame Campan at St. Germain. Under Napoleon, he not only painted miniatures, but arranged all the fetes and grand receptions of the Tuileries, and invented the coats of arms of the Marshals and others ennobled during that curious epoch in the world’s history. The coat of arms provided for Massena is said to have been the joint production of Napoleon and Isabey, a winged Victory figuring among its adjuncts. His long life made him acquainted with various rulers of the French nation. He painted Louis XVIII., Charles X., Louis Phillippe, and was finally provided with a pension in 1854 by the nephew of his first patron, Louis Napoleon. He died in the following year at the age of eighty-eight. Of all the portraits of Isabey, the rarest and most recherchds are of the period of the Directory, when Madame Tallien was the queen of fashion, and arrayed herself and her followers in the scantiest of classical costumes, the decolleU body and the open skirt giving the beholder a view of as much of nature and as little covering as was consistent with common decency. Isabey has left memoirs of his life, which are of great interest. He thus describes his first commencement:—“ I resolved to imitate the example of several of my fellow-pupils (he learned in the studio of David), who made a modest living by any means connected with painting. I made friends with a maker of snuff-boxes, who gave me orders for medallions to insert in the covers, generally copies from Vanloo and Boucher. I received from six to eight francs for each medallion, without the ivory. It was the fashion to wear buttons as large as a five franc piece, painted to resemble cameos, with cupids, flowers, landscapes, &c. I took to this mercantile art work, and received twelve sols for each piece. I also painted pastels for a picture dealer who had a shop under the Colonade of the Louvre.” lv. Pierre Adolphe Hall hears a reputation in France analagous to that of Cooper and Cosway amongst ourselves. He has been called “ Le Vandyck de la miniature.” He was born at Stockholm in 1736 and died in Liege in 1793. He painted in oil, pastel, enamel, and miniature. His father was physician to the King, and was ennobled in 1743* Pierre was brought up to the profession, but at the age of 19, found art so much more congenial to his tastes, that he quitted his studies to follow it. He went to Paris in 1760, became a Member of the Academy in 1769, and immediately took the first place as miniaturist. He was never keen for work; devoted to music and hunting, he missed many an appointment in pursuit of pleasure. Gustavus III. sat many times to him, and endeavoured to persuade him to return to Sweden, promising to appoint him Keeper of the Royal Museum. At the approach of the Revolution, Hall found his best customers leaving France among the emigres, and remembering the King of Sweden’s promise, he decided to return to his native land. Whilst travelling slowly homewards, he learned the news of the death of his royal protector, and shortly after he himself succumbed to an attack of apoplexy at Liege in 1793. He painted much for the Menus Plaisirs, several of his portraits being set in diamonds in boxes, bracelets, &c. One especially of the Dauphin (Louis XVI.) is mentioned as having been sent to Marie Antoinette on her arrival at Strasbourg in 1770. For the portrait, Hall was paid hi louis (2,664 francs) and the box in which it was mounted, surrounded by seventy-five brilliants, cost 78,678 francs. Another portrait by him of the Count de Provence, sent amongst the other jewels to the Princess of Savoy, his affianced bride, was set as a bracelet, surrounded by sixteen large diamonds, at a cost of 15,552 francs. Certainly he deserves his high reputation; for light¬ ness of execution, transparent shadows, vigour of tone, and luminous colour, Hall had few equals and fewer superiors. Louis Francois Aubrey , born in 1767, died in 1851. He learned of Vincent and Isabey, but was decidedly inferior to the latter. lvi. Jean Baptiste Augustin , born in 1759 , died of cholera in Paris in 1832. He became chief miniaturist to Louis XVIII. He never learned from any master, but formed his own style. He was considered second only to Isabey, and the aid of poetry was frequently invoked to extol the beauty of his portraits. F. Bouro-oin , enameller and miniaturist. He worked for the Menus Plaisirs, and in 1763 received 36 louis d’or for two enamels of the King, painted on gold, one louis for each portrait being paid extra for the gold. His works have sold for considerable prices ; a box with medallions enamelled by him, sold by auction in Paris in 1872, realized 10,200 francs. Charles Guillaume Bourgeois, born in 1759 , died in 1832. He painted exquisite profiles on a back ground. He also wrote upon the chemistry of colours used in painting. Joseph Boze, born in 1746, died in 1831. Besides his talent in miniature, he was a devoted Royalist. He had the courage to give evidence in favour of Marie Antoinette, for which he was thrown into prison, and only escaped the guillotine by the death of Robespierre. F. Campana, died in Paris in 1786. He painted charming portraits. He painted Marie Antoinette and other members of the Royal family for diplomatic presents. His works have fetched large prices. Nicholas Andrd Courtois was one of the best enamellers of Louis XVI.’s period. He became a member of the Academy in 17 70, and was much employed by the Court of France. Maxinie David , not to be confounded with the painter of the Revolution, was born in 1798. A pupil of Madame de Mirbel. Early in his artistic career he found favour at the Tuileries, and in a comparatively short time amassed a considerable fortune. Regault seems to have struck out for himself an entirely novel walk in art. He painted classical subjects in miniature to represent onyx cameos, which were set inboxes, bracelets, &c. He carried his lvii. love of the antique to such a length that he signed his name in Archaic Greek characters. Jean Baptiste Duchesne, born 1770, died 1855. His enamels were the finest of his time. He came to England, and executed for Queen Victoria a series of enamels of the Royal Family, after Sir W. Ross’s miniatures. He was also employed to continue the series of Petitot enamels in the Louvre, a work which had been commenced by Welper. Joseph Ducreu, born 1737, died 1803. He painted in oil, pastel and miniature. In 1769, he was sent to Vienna to paint the Archduchess Marie Antoniette when she became engaged to the Dauphin. He certainly was occupied with the commencement and end of that unfortunate reign, for he drew on a grey paper the portrait of Louis XVI. just as he was leaving the Temple for the scaffold. M. Charles Blanc, who saw the drawing, says that the courage, the fixed eye and worn face, made him shudder as he gazed on it. L. Durand was a clever artist, an enameller and sculptor in mother-of-pearl. He worked under Louis XV., and furnished the Minister of Foreign Affairs with many enamels of the King, for the usual diplomatic snuff-boxes. A portrait medallion of the King, sculptured in “ nacre,” and signed L. Durand, is spoken of in the highest terms of praise. Jean Francois Fontallard, born 1777, died 1858. A pupil of Augustin. He almost rivalled Petitot in the length of his artistic career, for he continued to paint miniatures up to his death at the age of eighty-one. Jean Gudrin, born 1760, died 1836. He was a fellow-pupil with Isabey in the studio of David. He painted Louis XVI. and the Queen, two large miniatures now in the collection of Count de Germiny. As a member of the National Guard at the Tuileries on June 20th, 1792, he assisted, at the peril of his life, in the protection of the Royal family against the fury of the Paris mob. He com- Iviii. menced a series of miniatures of the most prominent Deputies of the National Assembly, and later on of the Generals of the Republic, both of which were engraved by Fiesinger. The whole of the original designs of both of these series appear to be lost. In spite of his great talent he was scarcely appreciated during his lifetime. He was never received at the Academy, nor was a single medal ever awarded to him. Madame de Mirbel , born at Cherbourg in 1796, died in Paris in 1849. Pupil of Augustin. Gifted by nature with charms of person and intellect, she rapidly took the leading place as miniaturist with Louis XVIII., Charles X., and Louis Philippe. Saint alone may be considered to rival her at that epoch. She combined breadth of treatment with delicate finish in a manner rarely met with. Pierre Pasquier, born at Villefranche 1740, died 1806. Said to be the best enameller of the reign of Louis XVI. It is curious that none of his enamels are known. The Louvre does not possess a single specimen. We are driven to the contemporary records for an opinion as to his performances. “ Le Mercure de France,” in 1769, speaks of an enamel portrait of the King of Denmark done from memory, as being a chef d'ceuvre of perfection of management in the enamelling kiln. His name appears always with the most favourable notices in the various exhibitions of the time; and he supplied Royal portraits for diplomatic snuff-boxes, many of which have an historical interest. One was given to M. de Vergennes, who brought the news to Paris of the conclusion of a treaty with the Swiss Cantons ; another to Messieurs Dean and Lee, American deputies, who in 1778 signed the treaty of alliance between the King and the United States ; a third, to the Spanish Admiral, Don Louis Cordova, for his assistance in the operations of the French Fleet in the Channel. This cost 22,512 francs. Daniel Saint , born at St. Lo 1778, died 1847. He was a lix. worthy rival of Isabey and Madame de Mirbel. He painted all the members of the Royal and Imperial families, and in various auctions his miniatures have realised very considerable prices. Jean Sicardi. Of all the first class miniaturists of the period, we know less of Sicardi than any other. He was extensively employed by the court, and probably painted Louis XVI. more frequently than any other artist, for which he always received 360 and occasionally 450 francs, a larger sum than any contemporary artist except Hall. The boxes in which they were mounted were sometimes very costly, such sums as 6,580, 24,830, 9,580 francs being set down as their value. Jacques Thour on, born in Geneva 1737, died 1790. M. Chaussard, author of “ Le Pausanias Franqais” names him as the sole artist who revived the art of enamelling under Louis XVI., an assertion having little foundation in fact considering that such enamellers as Carteau, Vassal, Courtois, Jacques de Mailly, Pasquier, Weyler and the illustrious Hall, were at work at the same time as Thouron. The preceding names include all the celebrated artists who belonged to the French School of miniaturists. During the latter half of the 18th century, and early part of the 19th, they were quite as numerous, if not more so, than in England, and considering the mediocrity of many of them, it seems hardly worth while to give details of them all. Nearly all the leading portrait painters of the French School amused themselves occasionally with miniatures, P or bus, Mignard, De Troy, Santerre, Rigaud, Boullonge, &c., and small portraits by Philip de Champagne, Jean Mark Nattier, Largilliere and others, are well known. Nattier succeeded so admirably in gouache miniatures, that he seems to the manner born ; Marshal Saxe, the Duchess de Villars, Madame Deschapelles, Madame de Pompadour, and others by this clever artist, have appeared here in different collections, in every respect most admirable. Amongst the crowd of professed miniaturists of lx. the late 18th century there are, perhaps, a few deserving a name Roches , Duchastelet , Delmont , Lespiniere , correct in drawing, but a very poor colourist; Hypolite and /. A. Sauvage, who painted chiefly in grisaille on a black background; Boissieu, inimitable for lead-pencil miniatures, sufficiently fine to be mounted in boxes ; Joseph Bordes, a pupil of Isabey ; Joseph Boze ; Madame Cadet , an enameller; S. G. Coudns , also an enameller, a pupil of Girodet, somewhat resembling our John Smart. An artist named Gonore was a very expeditious miniaturist. He advertises m the newspapers, in 1786, that he takes perfect profile likenesses, which only require a sitting of three minutes. Nicholas Jacques , pupil of David and Isabey. He is historically interesting, as it was from a miniature by him of Leopold, then Prince of Saxe-Coburg, afterwards King of the Belgians, that the eldest daughter of Louis Philippe decided to become the wife of Leopold. A. F. Lagrenee, son of the charming artist, L. J. F. Lagrenee commenced life as a history-painter, but settled later on to devote himself to miniature. /. S'. Mosnier painted the Royal family from life, and furnished the usual diplomatic portraits to the Menus Plaisirs, Penel, Passot, Perm; Poumeyrac , pupil of Madame de Mirbel; Prudhon, Le Tellier; Quaglia , much esteemed by the Empress Josephine; Rouvier; Savignac , of whom lovers of Blarenberghe must beware, as he nearly equalled the minute scenes of the two masters ; Soiron , an enameller under the Empire, very well spoken of in contemporary notices. Madame Villayer Coster , wife of the genre painter, Coster, is said to have equalled Van Spaendonck in flower painting, and to have succeeded as well in portraiture. Violet frequently painted Louis XVI., but was a poor, weak creature—flesh tints painted with port wine, and features exaggerated almost to caricature. Rudolph Bel , a pupil of Isabey, painted large miniatures in water colour in Isabey’s later method. lxi. FLEMISH AND GERMAN SCHOOL. The great outburst of painting in Flanders, at the beginning of the 15th century, in the person of Jean Van Eyck , was in all respects a more wonderful awakening than that which had commenced in Italy in the previous century. There the Renaissance began with slow and laborious steps. Ginnto of Pisa, Guido of Sienna, &c., sought painfully and timidly to leave the beaten track, and although the great change proceeded at a quicker rate when Cimabue and Giotto appeared upon the scene, a century or more elapsed before perfection was attained. The Flemish school sprang at once into the full vigour of manhood. Happily for us it is not necessary to take part in the battle royal which has raged almost from the time of Jean to the present, on the subjeet of his invention of oil medium. Whether he actually invented it, or only brought to perfection and practical use what was described by the old monk, Teofilo, as far back as the nth century, “oleum lini , sine aqua” is a point that can never be really settled. The influence of the great triumvirate of Flemish art, Jean Van Eyck and his successors, Roger Van der Weyden and Hans Memling, spread to many lands, especially Holland, France and Germany, and even perhaps tinged the early Venetian school of Italy. Holland’s earliest master, Albert Van Ouwater, probably learned direct from Jean Van Eyck himself, during his stay at the Hague, 1422-24. In Germany the old Nordlingen painter, Frederic de Herlen, journeyed to Brussels to study under Van der Weyden, and through Martin Schongauer, of Colmar, Wohlgemuth’s great pupil, the mystic Albert Durer, became connected with the originators of Flemish art. The point we wish to establish by those few apparently irrelevant remarks is this, that a school of art prevailed in Germany during the 16th century, which produced artists displaying more or less the same technical qualities as we recognise in Holbein , who, together with Mabuse , may be said to have been the Apostles of lxii. Van Eyck in this country. Even Lucas Cranach the elder, is credited with miniature portraits, then again Christopher Amberger , born 1485, was a pupil of the elder Holbein, and imitated the style of Hans so exactly, both in large portraits and in miniatures, that he could easily pose as the real painter of many a likeness that passes for the work of the great Augsburg artist, Hans Asper , born 1499. Hans von Meletn, Hans Baldung, George Penes , and others, come in the same category. Later on in point of time, there are a few names which are known to collectors, which may be shortly mentioned, but as a rule specimens by Flemish or German artists are not often met with in this country. Jean Baptiste Deynum ,, born at Antwerp, 1620, signs gouache miniatures of fairly good quality. Philip Fruytiers, also born at Antwerp, in 1820, was selected by Rubens to paint himself and family in miniature, which he did wholly to the great man’s satisfaction. He died in 1677. Joseph Werner , 1637- 1710, was rather a distinguished miniaturist. He went to France, and was largely employed by Louis XIV. Then he visited the Court of Innsbruck, and finally settled down in Berlin 1696, as Director of the Academy. Jacob Christop Le Blond\ born at Frankfort in 1670, visited England and painted miniatures here, though the chief object of his visit was to establish a process of printing mezzotints in colour, which completely failed. Two lady artists tolerably well known in England are Anna Vasser and Henrietta Wolters. The former, born in Zurich in 1679, was a pupil of Werner, and practised at nearly every Court in Germany. She died 17 1 3 * The latter was a Dutch artist, born at Amsterdam in 1692. Peter the Great, whilst learning ship building at Amsterdam, was so taken with her work, that he made her the most handsome offers to go to St. Petersburg, and similar offers were made to her from Berlin, but she declined both, and lived and died at Amsterdam. There was a very good portrait signed by her in the Hamilton Collection. Peter Boy , of Frankfort, and his son, Peter the younger, are lxiii. occasionally seen in collections, generally as enamellers. They both painted well, drawing and colour both good. The Dinglinger family are well known for a variety of art work in the 18th century. Johann Metchior Dinglinger was an excellent enameller, but mostly as applied to goldsmith’s work. His brother George Frederic was painter and enameller to Augustus II., Elector of Saxony. His colour is usually somewhat too glaring. Their sister Sophie painted and enamelled many good portraits. Carl Frederic Thienpondt , born in Berlin 1720, died 1796. Pupil of a French artist named Pesne, who settled in Berlin. Thienpondt was persuaded by Ishmael Mengs to give up large subjects and devote himself to miniature and enamel, in which he succeeded admirably. Johann Samuel Blackner, born 1771, must have been a prodigy, as he was already known as a miniaturist at the early age of fifteen. He was much employed by the Court, and painted the Duchess of Courland, no less than eleven times. The Brothers Chodowiecki, Daniel and Gottfried, born at Dantzic in 1726 and 1728, were excellent miniaturists both in enamel and water colour. The list of artists practising miniature painting during the latter half of the 18th century could be extended very largely, but it seems hardly worth while to load a short memoir with names which mean but little to most English collectors. One notable exception must, however, be made to this remark. Henri Frederic Fiiger, justly called the Cosway of Vienna, was born at Heilbronn in 1751, died in Vienna 1818. He began his artistic career in Italy, but after seven years sojourn at Rome, fixed himself permanently in Vienna, where he became a member of the Academy of Fine Arts, and Director of the Imperial Gallery of Painting. For delicacy of colour, correct drawing and general refinement, his miniatures will compare favourably with our Cosway, or the charming French artist, Hall. lxiv. ITALIAN SCHOOL. Considering the position occupied by Italy from early ages in relation to all artistic matters, not only as the inheritor of the glories of the classical times, but also as the chosen home of the great protest against crystallised idealism which goes by the name of “ Renaissance,” when men, wearied of the trammels of the Churchmen, began to think for themselves, and to seek, amongst the beautiful forms of the antique, worthier models than the elongated evangelists of the Byzantine missal; when, even in the sacred branch of art, including the miniature in the illuminated manuscript, the Italian artists in many respects equalled their competitors, it is somewhat strange that they should not have excelled also in portrait miniature. Many names occur in the earlier centuries as presumed painters of miniature portraits, but their general work was probably as illuminators. Sophonisba Anguisciola , born at Cremona in 1530, died at Genoa about 1620. She belonged to a noble family in Cremona, and was a pupil of Bernardo Campi. Her fame as a portrait painter induced Philip II. of Spain, the great encourager of art at the time, to invite her to Madrid, where she arrived about the year 1560. She taught painting to the Queen of Spain and her sister, and the latter would have risen to great excellence had she not died young. Sophonisba’s three sisters, Lucia, Europa and Anna Maria, were also miniature painters, but never rose to the same point of excellence as their elder sister. Johann Baptiste Anticone was a pupil of Sophonisba, and flourished in Naples towards the end of the 16th century. He was celebrated as a miniature portrait painter for his fine drawing and powerful colour. Giovanni Fratellini , another celebrated female miniaturist, was born at Florence in 1666. She painted in oil, water colour and Ixv. crayons, and at the court of Cosmo III. found abundant employment as a miniature portrait painter. Her pastel portraits are said to have been in no way inferior to those of Rosalba. Ippolito Galantini , called II Cappucino, and sometimes II Prete Genoese, born at Genoa in 1627. He was a monk of the order of Capuchins. A good deal of his miniature work was probably connected with missal illumination, but he taught the art of portrait miniature to the foregoing artist, Giovanni Fratellini. Padre Felice Ramelli was another ecclesiastic celebrated as a miniaturist. He was born at Asti in 1666, and learned miniature painting from another clerical artist, Padre Danese Rho. The King of Sardinia invited him to his court, where he was largely employed as a portrait miniaturist. Amongst other work, he painted for the King the miniature portraits of the most celebrated painters, many of which he copied from the originals painted by themselves in the Florentine Gallery. Scipio Capella , who flourished in Naples about 1740, was a very good miniature painter. He was a pupil of Solimena, and, in addition to portrait miniatures, copied many of his master’s pictures “ in little.” Giuseppe Baldrighi , born at Stradella in 1723, a pupil of Merrici. He also studied in Paris under Boucher, and then returned to Ravenna, where he established a school of miniature painting. He died at Parma, at the age of 80. Giuseppe Longlii , born at Monza in 1766. He was almost more celebrated as an engraver than as a miniaturist; but, nevertheless, he painted some excellent miniatures. One of Napoleon by him was exhibited at South Kensington of considerable power. Bianca and Matilda Festa were both celebrated as miniature painters in Rome at the latter part of the 18th century. The eldest sister, Bianca, was appointed Professor of Drawing in the Academy of St. Luke. lxvi. Giacomo Ardroli , a good miniaturist of the late 18th century. He painted portraits of Napoleon and Josephine, which would have passed muster as good work had not our ideas of the great Corsican and his first Empress been formed on the miniatures of them by Isabey, Aubrey, Saint, &c. The Cavaliere Pompeo Battoni ) born at Lucca in 1708, died at Rome in 1787. Pupil of Domenico Brugieri and G. Lombardi. He painted a vast number of the celebrities of the time in miniature and in larger works almost rivalled Raphael Mengs, then the most esteemed painter. Like so many other artists, he commenced life as a jeweller, and his first essay in miniature painting was the copying a miniature in a snuff-box, which had been entrusted to him to repair. His copy far exceeded the original. Sophia Giordano , born at Turin in 1799, died in 1829. A pupil of Maron and his wife, who was a descendant of Raphel Mengs. Her miniatures are excellent. There is a female portrait signed by her, quite worthy to be classed amongst the works of the chiefs of the art. The Queen of them all, Rosalba Carriera , has been already mentioned whilst treating of the French School. The thought may occur to some, that, having alluded to certain Foreign Schools, the Committee ought to have completed their task by including a notice of all countries where miniature portraits were produced, as, for instance, Spain and Portugal, where not only Flemish and Italian artists, but also native talent, was extensively employed in the art of illumination; Sweden, where Christina, Gustavus, and other monarchs largely patronised and encouraged the arts ; and Russia, the direct successor to the Greek art of Byzantium. Such a survey, to be complete, ought to include the East, the cradle of so many of the arts, as well as the West. Indeed, in the case of Japan, the researches of a few experts have furnished us with quite a long list of native artists, whose performances in portraiture, as well as other branches, quite entitle them to be ranked as miniaturists. Ixvii. The Committee, however, were most unwilling to load this Introduction with unnecessary matter, and therefore decided to notice only such schools and artists as are represented more or less in English collections of miniatures. In nearly all countries the individual miniature portrait made its appearance about the same time, and as the result of the same antecedent conditions, namely, the art of illumination ; and the same cause and the same epoch saw its final extinction in most European countries. The photographic lens left no room for the limner’s skill. Miniature painting is still in abeyance, the tide still ebbing ; but can it be always thus ? With the increased art-culture and apprecia¬ tion of the beautiful and true, which is happily permeating the intelligent classes of the present day, it is impossible to believe that the faulty results of a mechanical process can continue to satisfy the art aspirations of the future. The sons and daughters of men are as noble and fair now as when Cooper painted the strong men of the 17th, or Cosway the beautiful women of the 18th, centuries. With materials so worthy of the limner’s skill it can but be a question of time when the fascinating art of miniature shall again flourish, awaking from its slumber, refreshed and renewed, striving always onward to greater and greater perfection. In conclusion, the Committee tender their hearty thanks to the Exhibitors, who have so generously placed their treasures at their disposal. The gracious example set by Her Majesty the Queen, has been followed by nearly all the possessors of historic collections, with the result that the Committee have been enabled to place on the walls of the Gallery some two thousand specimens, embracing many of the finest works ever produced in this branch of art, and one in which our own country has ever held a proud position. Since the above was written, the Committee have been enabled, through the kindness of the Baroness Burdett-Coutts and J. K. D. lxviii Wingfield Digby, Esq., to exhibit one series of the art work of the Olivers, of considerable historical interest. Probably it is now seen in its entirety for the first time since the Strawberry Hill sale in 1842. In the “Anecdotes of Painting,” Walpole gives the curious story thus : — “ Since this work was first published, a valuable treasure of the works of this master, and of his father Isaac, was discovered in an old house in Wales, which belonged to a descendant of Sir Kenelm Digby. The latest are dated 1633, but being enclosed in ivory and ebony cases, and the whole collection locked up in a wainscot box, they are as perfectly preserved as if newly painted. They all represent Sir Kenelm, and persons related to or connected with him. There are three portraits of himself, six of his beloved wife at different ages, and three triplicates of his mistress, all three by Isaac Oliver as is Lady Digby’s mother, which I have mentioned before. But the capital work is a large miniature, copied from Vandyck, of Sir Kenelm, his wife and two sons—the most beautiful piece of the size that I believe exists. There is a duplicate of Sir Kenelm and Lady Digby from the same picture, and though of not half the volume, still more highly finished. The last piece is set in gold, richly inlaid with flowers in enamel and shuts like a book. All these, with several others, I purchased at a great price, but they are not to be matched.” J. L. P.
