AVING often reflected
how difficult an Under-
taking it is, at prelent,
among fo many various Opinions
and Writers on the Art of
Painting, to form a clear and
juft Idea on that Subject, and of the
MASTERS who have rendered
their Names Illuftrious by their Per-
formances ; I at laft concluded, that
B to
( iv )
to have the beft Idea would be to
fhew their own Work now, by in-
graving a good Number of noted
Mafters, from a confiderable Pidure
of each, and more of fome of the
Chief, and fo, on their own Work,
to write fome Obfervations fuffici-
ent to fhew what School they imi-
tated, or in what Manner they va-
ry’d, and at the fame Time to give
the Opinions of the moll skillful
and impartial Authors, who . have
treated on the Art of Paint-
ing; and it being my Fortune
now to be in England, I have made
it my Study to oblerve the mod ex-
cellent Paintings, both Publick and
Private, of many iiluftrious Ma-
fias : And as fuch an Undertaking
appeared
appeared New in itfelf, and both
Uleful to the Publick, and an Ho-
nour to this Nation, fo indeed it
appeared Difficult to me, and be-
yond the reach of my Capacity ;
not for the Number of Books
which l had occafion to perufe, but
for the great Expence I have already
been at for the Drawings, and
which I muft continue, for the
Prints which are graving, not only
in London , but fome in France ,
Holland , and Henice ; This Defign
will coniift of feveral Parts: I be-
gin with This, becaufe of the great
Variety of Painters in all the
Schools, fuch little Books are more
eafily carried when any one Travels.
The other Parts will be followed by
B i the
( vi )
the Defcripticn of the King’s, and
other Noblemen’s and Gentlemen’s
Collections, viz. Duke of Somerset,
Duke of Revonjhire , Duke of King -
fton , Duke of Buckingham , Duke of
Argyle, Duke of Kent , &c. Lord
Burlington, Lord Med fas. Lord Choi-
mondely, Lord Harrington, Lord
James Cavcndifl), Lord Tyrconnel, & c.
Sir Robert Waif ole, Sir Robert Sutton,
Sir Raul Miethwcll, Sir Gregory Rage,
Sir John R.arnel, Sir James Thorn -
bill. Colonel Guy, Secretary Burchct,
Hr. Mead, Mr- Richardfon, &c. with
many others* w.ith which I am not
at prefent acquainted; but I hope,
and humbly pray, thefe Right Ho-
nourable Noblemen, and Honourable
Gentlemen, to let nr. ^ have Notice
°t their Pictures. Mr.
( Vii )
Mr. Trudomc liked my Defign,
and agreed to undertake thofe at
Wilton , except the painted Rooms,
(of which .the Cieling of Dcdalus
and Icarus has been graved) thefe he
laid would be too much for him,
and except the io different Battle-
Painters, 7 Italian , and 2 by Bar-
gognone) and Siege of Tavia, by Al-
bert Durer , becaufe thefe were drawn
by one of Bologna, and except the
perfonal Pictures; for there was
one who defired that he might draw
the reft of the V m Dykes, which
were not Grav’d nor Graving, as
the great one was, and the Perfons
by the older Painters, becaufe
he had publifh’d lately other Van
Dykes,
( viii )
©>* es, and Mr. Trudome omitted
thole which by the Book were grav-
ed before, nor fome which had been
at London to be clean’d there drawn
for me, he fettled at IVilton in the
Town feveral Years, where he drew
moft of them before he died, but all
his Things were carried abroad to
his Heir, and I not being then re-
turned to England , heard after, that
they have been fold and difperfed ;
I have fome Hopes of getting one
Parcel, in which are 1 3 of the larg-
eft Pictures, as the Giulio, Romano,
and Tolidoro , Caravaggio , and Tal-
ma, and Tintoretto , and Bajjano, and
Ntcolo del Alb ate, and Rofjo Floren-
tine, and Avgujlino Caracci , and the
two great Pictures of Giordano Nea-
politan,
plitano , and the great Salvator Rofa,
and Mkhael Angelo, Caravaggio and
Mich. Angelo , Campidoglio, thefie two
and the other two at London , make
all the four called Mich. Angelo ,
and there is befides, the Lanfranco
and Andrea Sacchi , and Romanelli ,
and Cafligliona, and Gafper c PouJfm ,
with Hagar by Nicolo Tou(Jin, and
the very fine Reubens which was the
King of Spains , and his Matter
Otto Vent of his chief Colouring,
{hewing whence Rubens had his fine
Colouring, and the fine Hiftorical
Piece of Tfobfon , which as long as he
lived he would never part with ;
King C. 1. called him the Englijh
Tintoretto , and Albert ‘Durer and
John
John Van Eyke, who firft painted
in Oyl.
What I was to get Drawings of,
were in and about London , 1 wifh
1 could have found more of the old
Mafters by Mr. Prudome , for there
were many got in the Time of the
firft Earl, which I no where find,
the Want of them will very much
leffen the Number intended of their
Lives : However, here is, ( though
nine have been graved) a great
Variety in this Collection at London ,
and being near fo many very fine
Collections, as the King’s in his five
Palaces, and thofe of many Noble-
men and others, I don’t doubt of
finding a great Number of very not-
ed
( xi )
ed Pictures, tho’ many of the beft
of the King’s are graved already.
I have Drawings of a good many
fine Colledions, I fhall mention
here only thofe of Pictures that are
in this CoOedion, becaufe they are
here defcnbed, fuch only now of
which Drawings are already finifh-
ed, the four fir ft are at Wilton.

FINIS.
I now give Notice, that the fob
lowing Five are almoft engrav’d,
four of this Collection, and one of
the Duke of Somcrfef s ; and Prints
of them may be ready to be fold
after Chrijlmas.
The great Van ‘Dyke is in this
Collection, it is ingrav’d by young
Audran at ‘Paris, it is twenty Foot
long and twelve Foot high, which
requir’d a much larger Print than
any other that I fhall make, the Print
is as large as Raphael* s Cartoons by
Dorigny ; I had the Help of a little
Picture painted by Remy in the fame
Time of Van Dyke , who was us’d
to fay to Sir Peter Lelly, that he
could copy his Pictures better than
he himfelf could copy. This Picture
was done on Plirpoleto be grav’d
( xvi )
at j Paris, and was carried by ML
Towers , who waited upon Kir;
Charles II. when he wenttlv
ther ; and at prefent is in the Co
le&ion of Mr. CroiJJat, from whic
I have now there ingrav’d it.
The next is the Duke of Sorrier fet
Titian , with nine Figures of the Fi'
mily of Cornaro, ingrav’d by Bam,
at London ; the Picture is long nin:
Foot, high fix Foot and a half, th:
Print is, long two Foot, high on
Foot and five Inches.
Here follows the other Three of thi
Collection defcriFd in this Book.
The great Giorgione , or the lal
Supper, at Wilton.

THE
PICTURES.
H E old Catalogue had the
Names of the Painters,
which are on the Pi£tures ;
they were collected by the
firft Earl who liv’d in four Reigns, and by
the two fii'll: Philips. This Lord has not
increas’d the Number, he has only changed
many german and Flanders to make a great-
er Variety of Italian Painters. Here are
(except two or three of above twenty re-
markable Painters, and of Van Dyke many,
becaufe the Great Room has only of him)
only one of each Painter, three Quarters of
A 2 them
( 4 )
them are by Italian , here being with thofe
that are at London near three Hundred
Italian Painters ending with the chief Dis-
ciples of each School, none but fuch as
were alive before the Death of Carlo Mo-
ratti ; of thefe there were above thirty,
they may be eafily known by their Name s
to have been Difciples of Carlo Moratti ,
Carlo Dulci, Giardano of Naples , Allani 7
and of Cervelli of Venice thefe were be.
fpoke when Sir And- Fountaine was in Ita-
ly ; they firft made Drawings which were
fo well approv’d, that they by thefe alfo
intended Prints : This begins with the
Painters, from whom they reckon the five
feveral Schools, and the Mafters of the
chief, with one older than j lean Van Dyke
of Bruges, who invented Painting inOyl :
K.fajt is dated 1410, and faid to be that which
he gave to a Chapel at Bruges, where he
was born, and one before Painting in Oyl,
that of King Richard II. It is etched by
Hoi-
Hollar , and dedicated to King Charles I.j’ Gi
the Backfide was not etched. Mr. Anjlis
found it very remarkable to illuftrate a
difficult Part in Heraldry : My Lord,
therefore, gave him a Drawing of it, which
was grav’d and publifh’d in his Hiftory of -if
the Order of the Garter ; this Pidure was
given by King James II. to the Lord
Cajllemain when he went Ambaflador to
Rome ; My Lord bought it of his Heirs
after he died. The Pidures, fince Sir Peter
Lely advifed to put on the Back thick
Priming that could not foak through, re-
ceives no Prejudice as Painting on the
Wall does even in Italy, as in the Vatican
£j?c. The Painting of Raphael, had many
Parts in a manner re-painted in Carlo Ma-
ratti's Time. It is Pity, that the Paint-
ings of fuch Painters fhould not have been
moveable on Canvas, for to fave Raphael's
has alfo obftruded the making of the very
great Palace of the Vatican to be one of
the
the fineft in the World, for when Raphael
painted, it was in a very ill Tafte, the
Rooms having no due Height nor good
Lights ■, Reuben's was fenfible of this, and
therefore painted the banqueting Houfe on
Canvas ; it is Pity that the Lead above had
not a Floor of Boards over to obftrucl the
Sun from cracking the Lead, and fo let-
ting in the Rain, and to hinder any from
walking on the Lead, as here at Wilton
there is.
I fhall firft begin with the Paintings not
moveable.
The Painting on the Cieling of this
Room, and the Boys in the Ornaments of
the Coving, Sir Charles Cotterel , who
brought him over, call’d him Signior Tom-
mafo, aDifcipleof Caracci the Paintings
reprefent feveral Stories of Perfeus , as par-
ticularly, the cutting off Madufa's Head,
and
and the relieving of Andromeda. The
great Oval in the middle of thefe, fhews
a very natural Sedition of a Female in Per-
fpettive, feeing the Sky through a round
Top ; it plainly relates to Perfeus , becaufe
it fhews the fame Face and Drefs as in the
former. There is a Prieft, in great Con-
cern, at the Altar •, it is Perfeus , to re-
venge himfelf upon Polydetfes , for the In-
juries offer’d to his Mother and Deities,
whom he found at the Altar, whither they
had been forc’d to fly for San&uary from
his Violence.
The Cieling of the Cube Room of De~
dolus and Icarus , was brought out of a
Villa near Florence, by the fir ft Sir Charles
Cotter ell, for Earl Philip ; Painted by Jo-
feph Arpino. There was an old Print
grav’d, Anno 1600. All the Pannels of
the Bottom of this Room are painted
with 27 Hiftories of the Countefs of Pern-
broke's
hr ole’s Arcadia. Thefe are painted by
the Brother of Signior Totnmafo , who us’d
to paint only fmall Figures.
There are no other Paintings on the
Cielings, or Wainfcots, but the Hunting
Room, which was painted by Tempefta,
Junior, who alio came over in all eighteen
kinds of Hunting. The Drawings Mr.
Clark has of the Cielings of the Hunting
Room, and Stone Stairs, are pretty ; but
without Figures. He has alfo Drawings
of feveral Chimney-Pieces at Wilton, with
his Name writ by himfelf.
The moveable Pi&ures ; Firft, thole in
the great Room, which are all by Vandyke ,
the great one is twenty Foot long, and

as Perfonal, being a Landskip with Dogs,

to thefe the Study of the beft Nature.
The School of Correggio the firft famous
Colourift, as well as beautiful Nature and
graceful fore-fhortning, all this from his
own Genius, he being, as fome fay, poor,

followed by Caravaggio with great Lights
and Shadows, which pleas’d many, and
e ven Guido Rheni in his fecond of his third

After theie five Schools, I fliall mention
the only Pifture here, that is not by an
Italian born, to fhow that even in Italy
they reckon another School the Chief, of
which they efteem equal to many of the
beit Italian Painters : Under the fixth
School they comprehend all the good Pain-
ters of other Nations, as a pretty many at
Wilton , and here Rulens.

rubin’s Heads at the Side and at the Top,

would make a great Pitlure after it, which
he did at a Church in a Convent at Ant-
werp , where he has added Apoftles, as big

Bolfwert.
