BRIDGES BARRETT, Esq AT LEE PMOIY, ©oimts of lUnt PRINTED AT THE PRIVATE PRESS AT LEE PRIORY; BY JOHN WARWICK. 1817. a&berttsement ONL Y Sixty Copies of this List have been Printed, of which Twenty are reserved for private use. F the following Collection of Pictures is small j yet, as it was made with great skill, taste, and care, it is believed to be such as will gratify the real judges of painting. It contains productions of se- veral rare and highly esteemed masters. But authority goes so far on these subjects, where opinions are so apt to vary, and suspicions of being imposed upon are so very general, that a short account of the Collection, and it's Collector, is due to it's merits, and may be satis- factory to those who come to view it. The Collection was made in the former half of the last century, by Thomas Barrett of Lee, Esq. who died in January 1757, aged 58) having spent much of his life in these elegant pursuits, distinguished for his knowledge in them among those eminent cotemporaries who were most capable of appreciating his acquirements. It happened that after his death, in consequence of hav- ing made no will, by which his personal property went between his widow his son and daughter, (his son being- then a minor,) some parts of his cabinet pictures and curio- sities were brought to the hammer : and of his exquisite collection of miniatures by Oliver, Hilyard, Cooper, Hoskins, and Petitot, &c. several fell into the hands of Horace Walpole, afterwards Earl of Orford, and formed some of the most valuable gems of Strawberry Hill. Mention of them will be found in the description of that 4 Introduction. ..>..f>..>.-M<|*4"<"4"<"<" villa in Lord Orford's Works, ii. 474, 475. 477* &c. where Mr. Barrett's collection is dignified with the epithet of curious. The death of Mr. Barrett is thus recorded in the Gen- tleman's Magazine, vol. xxvii. p. 92, in the Obituary of it's date. " 1757^ Jan. 29, died Thomas Barrett, Esq. of Lee, near Canterbury: a gentleman of great elegance and fine taste, to which, in a life as retired as was consistent with sociability, and an extensive knowledge of men and manners, were con- joined the utmost regularity, unfeigned piety, and the truest both conjugal and parental affection." Mr. Barrett was born in March 1698 j was admitted of Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, 1716 j and settled at Lee on his first marriage with his first cousin Anne, daughter and coheir of Sir William Boys, Knt, on 9th April, 1719, aged 21 : and here he principally resided till his death in his 59th year. He was grandson of Sir Paul Barrett, of Lee, Knt, Ser- jeant at Law ; Recorder of Canterbury; and Member of Parliament for New Romney; who died January 9, 1686, aet. 53. All this may seem superfluous, or rather impertinent, and of little interest to strangers. So at least it may be deemed by dull or light minds, little acquainted with the workings of human nature. But it is far otherwise. No- thing can perhaps justify drawing attention to a catalogue of this kind, even by the types of a private press, unless the contents of it possess intrinsic merit: and nothing surely can be a stronger collateral confirmation of this than the characters and acquirements of those to whom these paintings belonged. New men are every day springing up, who endeavour by an ostentatious display of oddly-gained wealth, to Sntroliuctton 5 dazzle the world into an admission of their importance. All that wealth can do in extent of building, in size of rooms, and in gaudy furniture, is easily effected. The Arts also are called in to add to the triumphant parade : but as this is generally accomplished by the tricks of those who make a prey (which perhaps is pardonable) of low and ignorant riches, the public, who are invited to view these treasures, behold, sometimes with ridicule, and always with doubt, whatever is not stamped with the most unsus- pected proof of it's real pretensions. It is thus with mansions, as it is with pictures. It is not the architecture, or the genuine magnificence of the place, which engages the curiosity of visitors. They are influenced by the quality of the possessor ; the history of his fortune ; or the habits of his family. All this is strictly neither wise nor just. There are positive and clear merits in the arts, which are independent of all these adventitious circumstances. But so it is : and in all doubtful cases these circumstances ought to have weight. The crude and uninformed taste of the major part of those who employ their vacant hours in visiting those places which are pointed out to their unskilful curiosity, will, if left to itself, judge only by magnitude of building, glare of upholstery, or fame of title or wealth. One is almost ashamed to make so trite an assertion as, that size is no ingredient of excellence in the arts. The pictures at Lee have their receptacle in a mansion, of which the justly-celebrated genius of the Architect who has been employed to adorn it, may justify the praise, for elegance, grace, proportion, richness of ornament, and felicity of combination. The building is not new : perhaps of the date of King James I. but appears to have received various alterations at different dates, so as to have exhibited no particular 6 JtttrotJuttton. stile of architecture. In the time of James I. it was the seat of the family of Southland. Sir William Southland died here in 1638. His grandson, Thomas Southland, Esq. sold it to Sir Paul Barrett in 1676. After Sir Paul died, Lady Barrett, who survived him twenty-five years, and who was daughter and heiress of the celebrated phy- sician Sir George Ent, resided here till her death in 1711. Mr. Barrett, Sir Paul's grandson, was succeeded in 1757, by his only son the late Thomas Barrett, Esq. who had then completed his 13th year. But his mother sur- vived, and still resided here) and so continued till her death in April 1785, a period of twenty-eight years. Her son was educated at Trinity College, Cambridge; and afterwards travelled into France and Italy ; and not long after his return was, in 1773, on the death of Sir Thomas Hales, elected Member of Parliament for Dover. The contest was severe 5 and disgusted Mr. Barrett with elec- tion concerns. A Dissolution soon followed; and he de- clined entering so troublesome and noisy a field again. He was a man of very polished manners ; of a singularly elegant taste; and well accomplished in all parts of polite literature. Having now retired to a country life, the usual occu- pations of a country gentleman were not well' fitted to fill up the time of one so qualified. Whatever therefore was spared from the best society, was spent in enriching his library, in adorning his grounds, and in improving his house. At length he determined to give a new shape to a man- sion, which, though it was convenient, contained many good rooms, and was highly enriched by the treasures it contained, had no external beauty of architecture to recommend it. He called in the professional skill of Mr. James Wyatt, who gave him many plans, some Grecian, some Gothic. Introduction 9 be found some, which contain apartments consisting of a much greater number of square feet : walls which cover a much larger space of ground : and internal accompani- ments where the cabinet-maker's bill has reached a much larger amount! To form a correct estimate of this place and it's decorations, requires a chastised and long-cultivat- ed taste ; an imagination not inactive; and a memory stored with history and literature. In the Library, the Book-Room, and various other parts of the House, is an ample Collection of printed Works in various departments of learning. It will not bear com- parison with the eclipsing wealth of a few modern book- collectors-- -which makes all other libraries, such as used to have a name, " hide their diminished heads." But it has some rare books, and many very expensive ones; and is well adapted to improve and enlarge the understanding, and fill the fancy with a new array of images. It is to be lamented that the want of boldness in the shape of the ground in which this seat is placed, did not afford that scope for Mr. Barrett's taste, with which a nobler style of scenery would have furnished him. The Park, consisting of about two hundred acres is, for the most part, flat ; but all has been done that skill could do, by the disposition of the plantations ; and the magnificence of the elm trees, for which the soil is particularly conge- nial, is worthy of notice. In looking down on Lee from the top of Littlebourne Hill, near the three mile stone from Canterbury, the spire and towers of the Priory emerge most picturesquely from a mass of the richest wood. Mr. Barrett died unmarried in January 1803, having, within a month, completed the age of fifty-nine ; and left this seat and his other estates to his great nephew and heir, the grandson of his sister, (eldest son of Sir 10 ... . $ntrotiuctton. ••»••» ►••»*§*<..«..<..«..«.. Egerton Brydges, Bart. M.P. for Maidstone), who is the present possessor, and having entered into the Army in January 1807 , at the age of seventeen, is now (1817) one of the senior Captains in the Grenadier Regiment of Foot Guards. He took the name of Barrett according to the provisions of his uncle's will, in 1811. The House stands in the south-west extremity of the parish of Ickham, adjoining Littlebourne, Beaksbourne, and Adisham. In sight of the Drawing Room windows is Howletts, formerly the seat of Sir Thomas Pym Hales, Bart, re- built by Mr. Baugh, and now the seat of George Gipps, Esq. M.P. Two miles to the east is Deane, the ancient mansion of the Oxendens: and two miles further Goodnestone, the seat of Sir Brook W. Bridges, Bart. HE room in which the lar- gest number of Pictures are hung, is the Drawing Room. But it may be proper just to notice the rooms through which the visi- tor is conducted to this grand apart- ment. The entrance into the House is by the Tower in the centre of the North Front, into a Vestibule very richly adorn- ed with a profusion of Gothic work; and thence into the Inner Hall, in which is placed a magnificent Staircase, in the lightest and most graceful style of mo- dern architecture. Hence turning to the right is the Star Room. 12 . . . &tet of tf>« ^tctuw*. .. v .. > ..>..>.. t ^ r <.. t .. i ,.<..<.. Star &oom* 1. A Boy, holding a candle. By Schalken.

The value of his pictures increased after his death to an incredi- ble degree. He had two brothers, Peter and John ; both painters ; but not his equals in merit. 7- Sir Anthony Vandyke painted history and portrait. Born at Antwerp. Died 1641, aged 42. The lady here painted was a Villiers ; the wife of James Stuart Duke of Richmond, the attached friend of King Charles I. whose death he never recovered. 8. Claude Lorraine painted landscape. Born at Lor- raine. Died 1682, aged 82. His pictures are now very rare, especially such as are undamaged j and those are at this time so valued, that no price, how- ever great, is thought to be superior to their merit. 9. Peter Neefs. There were two of this name, each of whom painted perspective and architecture. The first died 1651, aged 61. They were natives of Antwerp. 10. Jaclues Jordaens was born at Antwerp in 1594, and died 1678, aged 84. He painted history, allegorical subjects, and bacchanals ; and was a pupil of Rubens j and in some degree his rival. He is said to have less genius 3 but better expression, and more truth. 11. See No. 4. I 16 ... . ffiist of tlje ipictuws. 12. Virgin and Child in the Clouds. By Murillo. 13.

Died 1685, aged 72. His pic- tures are in great esteem through all Europe. 13. Cornelius Poelemburg painted landscape, caves, and grottos. Born at Utrecht. Died 1660, aged 74. Delicacy of touch, and sweetness of colouring, are his characteristics. His genuine works are exceed- ingly scarce. 14. Luca Giordano painted history and portrait. Born at Naples. Died 1705, aged 76. He had the art of catching the manner of all the greatest masters j particularly Titian, Paolo Veronese, and Pietro da Cortona : and he himself bears a high station among them. 15. Pietro Francesco Mola painted landscape and his- tory. Born at Lugano in Switzerland. Died 1665, aged 56. His design is correct, and his figures are in fine taste ; but the dark parts of his pictures are sometimes too black. 16. Adam Elsheimer painted landscapes and moonlight with small figures. Born at Frankfort. Died 1620, aged 47. He understood the chiaro scuro to perfec- tion. While alive, his pictures bore an excessive price, which was amazingly enhanced after his death. 18 . . .

He is one of the most celebrat- ed painters of landscape that ever appeared. Nicolo Foussin, whose name he assumed, was not his bro- ther, but married his sister. Nicolo was more, dis- tinguished for history, than for landscape. Filippo Lauri painted landscape and history. He was born at Home 5 and died 16*94, aged 71. His works are valued for correctness of outline, and delicacy of touch; and are in universal esteem, and eagerly bought up at large prices in every part of Europe. 18. Sir Anthony Vandyke. See No. 7- Though good pictures of K. Charles are common, yet the singular brilliance and merit of the present performance have never failed to strike every judge of the art who has seen it. 19. Francis Paul Ferg painted landscapes, with ruins, or conversations. Born at Vienna. Died 1740, aged 51. He died in London in extreme poverty : but his works now bear a price which is an infallible proof of their merit. His style was in the taste of Berchem and Wouwermans. 20. Coypel. There was two painters of this name; An- thony, and Noel Nicholas. This picture must have been by the first. Anthony painted history and allegorical subjects. He was born at Paris 1661, and died 1722, aged 61. His style is well known by the prints which have been published from his works. He is a great favourite with his countrymen. 1 20 Stet of tfy ^tctum. 21. A Landscape, with Goats. By Michael Carre. 22. An old Woman reading by can- dlelight. By Schalhen. Over the Chimney. 23.

Luca Giordano. See No. 14. 25. Giacomo Palma. There are two painters of this name, uncle and nephew, called the old, and the young. The former born at Serinalta in Bergamo, died 1596, aged 48. The latter born at Venice, died 1628, aged 84. The paintings of old Palma are held in great esteem : but in some respects he is thought to have been excelled by his nephew. The former was a disciple of Titian j and his manner much re- sembled that of his master. The latter combined the styles of Tintoretto and Titian. His works sel- 22 ... . Stet of tfy ^tctitrc*. 26.

Ludovico Caracci painted history, landscape, and portrait. Born at Bologna; died 1619, aged 64. It was his great ambition to imitate the manner of Cor- regio ; and after the manner of that great master, he gave a wonderful grace to his Madonnas. He is distinguished by simplicity and elegance of design, and sometimes by sublimity of composition. There were four other painters of this name: Agostino Caracci, who died 1602; Annibal Caracci, who died 1609, brothers; (and first cousins to Ludovico;) Antonio Caracci, who died 1616, natural son of Agostino; and Francesco Caracci, who died 1622. These painters established the school, called The Academy of the Caraccis. 27. John Rothenamer painted history. He was born at Munich, and died 1604, aged 40. His greatest ex- cellence was in his small-sized paintings, in which he had the good fortune to be assisted by Paul Bril and Velvet Brueghel, who frequently painted the landscapes and back-grounds of his historical com- positions. John Brueghel, called Velvet Brueghel on account of his dress, which was always of rich velvet, was the most distinguished of four painters of that name. Peter Brueghel the old, who painted landscapes and drolls ; died 1570, aged 60. He was born at Brueghel near Breda. His paintings are in request. Peter Brueghel the young, was one of his sons. He 1 24 ... . 3Ugt of t\)t pictures. 28. Herodias's Daughter with St. John s Head. By Carlo Dolci. 29. A Landscape and Figures, on copper. By Paul Ferg. 30.

Abraham Brueghel called the Neapolitan, who painted fruits and flowers, and died 1672, was born at Antwerp. Velvet Brueghel was son of Peter the old: was born at Brussels, and died at 1689, aged 65. He painted flowers, fruits, and landscapes, with small figures. Sometimes he painted flowers in garlands or festoons ; and landscapes in which Rubens and other eminent masters inserted the figures ; and at other times he was employed by Steenwick, Mom- pert, Rothenamer, and Vanbalen, to adorn their pic- tures with his figures, which now add abundantly to the value of such combined works of those masters. 28. Carlo Dolci painted history and portraits. Born at Florence 1616 j died 1686, aged 70. He is remark- able for the delicacy with which he finished his works ; for the pleasing tint of his colours ; and for the judicious management of the chiaro scuro which gives his figures a surprising relief ; for the graceful airs of his heads ; and a general harmony, accom- panied with exquisite finishing. This picture of Herodias's Daughter is a work of exquisite grace, beauty, and brilliance. 29. Paul Ferg. See'No. 19. 30. Giacomo Cortesi, called Borgognone, painted bat- tles and history.

He was born at Modena, and died 1616, aged 56. He is one of the most happy imitators of the graces and delicacies of Corregio. His paintings, as well as his designs, are exceedingly scarce and valuable. 33. Francesco Trevisani painted history, portraits, land- scape, and architecture. He was first a disciple of Antonio Zanchi, but afterwards studied the first masters of the Venetian school, by which he gained the admiration of Italy, and afterwards the esteem of all Europe. He had an elevated genius, and a noble style of composition. His figures were correct and graceful, and his colours brilliant. 34. Paul Moreelxe painted portrait and history. He was born at Utrecht, and died 1638, aged 67. He was originally a disciple of Mirevelt ; but afterwards went to Rome, and improved himself in studying designs. 35.

Sebastian Franks painted conversations, history, landscapes, and battle pieces. Born at Antwerp 1573. His general style was landscapes, with small figures and cattle. He had a light touch, and agree- able style of colouring. There was another painter of this sirname, John Baptist Franks, supposed to be the son of the for- mer. He painted history and conversation, insides of galleries, &c. 38. Caracci. See No. 26. Probably Annibal, who was more adapted to paint poetical subjects than his cousin Ludovico. 39.

There was also a former painter of the name Carlo Luti, born at Munich 1611, who died 169S, aged 87; and who painted history and portrait. 40. Adrian Vandervelde painted landscape, animals, and history. He was born at Amsterdam 1639, and died 1672, aged 33. He was a disciple of John Wynants. He studied every object from nature 5 trees, clouds, and every species of animals, which he sketched in the fields. As nature was his model, his compositions were remarkable for their truth. 30 Etet of tf)e pctum. Over the Door to the Dining Room. 41. The Portrait of Madame La Valliere.

Few of his works are now to be met with, as he did not live long enough to leave any considerable num- ber ; and those that are to be purchased are extremely dear, as they are particularly coveted through the Low Countries, where he is accounted one of their most eminent painters. There are three other painters of this name, with whom Adrian must not be confounded. Esaias Vandervelde, who was born about 1590, . painted battles and landscape. The others were the two famous Sea painters. William Vandervelde the old, born 1610; died 1693, aged 83. He painted sea- pieces and sea-fights. He was a native of Leyden. His son, William Vandervelde the young, who painted sea-pieces, storms, calms, and sea-fights, was born at Amsterdam 1633, and died 1707, aged 74. Henry Gas car was a French portrait painter, patron- ized by the Dutchess of Portsmouth, and, in compli- ment to her, much encouraged. He was a competi- tor of Sir Peter Lei v. This picture was bought in 1752, of Robert Smith, Esq. formerly of Gray's Inn, and of Hartwell in Bucks, (a fellow -collegian of Mr. Barrett,) who gives the following account of it. In 1699 the Dutchess of Portsmouth came to England with a French lady in her retinue* who had been an attendant on Madame La Valliere. This lady lodged with one Mrs. Walkadine, a Ro- man Catholic, remarkable both for her age and 32 Stsst of tf)e picture*. .».. > ..»^.,.. < ..,.. 4 ., < .. 42. A View in Venice. By MaraccL 43.

After the departure of the Dutchess, this lady staid at Mrs. Walkadine's for a year or more, before she went for France. While in Eng- land she had lived so gaily, that this picture, &c. were left in part of satisfaction for money due to Mrs. Walkadine, who still lost a considerable sum of money by her. Mrs. Walkadine devised the pic- ture to a relation of Mr. Smith, and from her it came to Mr. Smith himself. 42. Giovanni Maracci painted history. He was born at Lucca; died 1704, aged 67. He was of the Roman school; and his works were much applauded. 43. The painter is not named. The pictures of Saccharissa are numerous. She was daughter of Robert Sydney, second Earl of Leicester, by Lady Dorothy, sister of Lucy Percy, Countess of Carlisle. Her first husband, the Earl of Sunderland, fell at the battle of Newbury. 44. Cavaliere Carlo Luti. See No. 39. 45. P. Mo nam y painted sea-pieces. Was born at Jersey, and died 1748. He received his first rudiments of drawing from a sign and house painter on London Bridge. But when Nature gives real talents, they break forth in the homeliest school. The shallow waves that rolled under his window, taught young Monamy what his master could not teach him, and fitted him to imitate the turbulence of the ocean. 34 . . . mgt of tl)* tffctiiKtf. 46.

He has the reputation of the most agreeable mannerist that any age has pro- duced. 47, 48. John Van Kessel painted flowers, portraits, birds, insects, and reptiles.

He was a disciple of Lely, and little inferior to his master. Sir Peter Lely painted portrait and landscape. He was born at Soest in Westphalia, in 1617, and died 1680, aged 63. He was a disciple of Peter Grebber atHaerlem; but coming to England in 1641, and seeing the works of Vandyke, he gave himself wholly to portraits, in emulation of that great man. He was the painter of the ladies ; he caught the reigning character, and on animated canvas stole The sleepy eye that spoke the melting soul. In the portraits of men, which he seldomer paint- ed, Lely scarce came up to Vandyke. His works are very numerous : they are generally portraits to the knees. He was Knighted by K. Charles II. and married a beautiful English woman of family. His collection of pictures was sold by auction in 1682, and produced twenty-six thousand pounds. He died of an apoplexy. He is accounted a mannerist. 38 2fet of tty $tcturej5. ©hung ftoom* Oyer £/je Chimney. 55. Duke and Dutchess of York, (Lord Clarendon's daughter.) By Sir Peter Lely.

He finished his pictures highly, with great care. His manner was dry, stiff, and laboured 5 but he was exceedingly industrious to give a polished smoothness to his colouring. Henry VIII. employed him to paint the portraits of some of his children, which gained him great reputation, as he finished them delicately, and gave them spirit and liveliness : and he painted several others for the 44 3£tet of tty ^ittuve*. 66.

Henry VII. and through her the royal family of Scotland finally succeeded to the English throne. Her sister Mary, widow of the King of France, left issue also by her last husband, Charles Brandon, Duke of Suffolk, two daughters, who were her coheirs, and married to Grey, Mar- quis of Dorset, and Clifford, Earl of Cumberland. 67. Hans Holbein painted portrait and history. Was born at Basle 1498, and died 1554, aged 56. He excelled all his cotemporaries in portrait j and Zuc- chero did not hesitate to compare his portraits with those of Raphael and Titian. He came to London at the request of Erasmus, who recommended him to Sir Thomas More. K. Kenry VIII. was so de- lighted with him, that he took him into his service. His pencil was exceedingly delicate ; his colouring had a wonderful degree of force ; he finished his pictures with exquisite neatness ; and his carnations were life itself.

This celebrated miniature was engraved many years ago in the Houbraken Heads.— -" Holbein," says Lord Orford, "was dispatched by Cromwell (Earl of Essex) to draw the Lady Anne of Clevej and by practising the common flattery of his profession, was the immediate cause of the destruction of that great subject, and of the disgrace that fell on the Princess herself. He drew so favourable a likeness, ) that Henry was content to wed her; but when he found her so inferior to the miniature, the storm which really should have been directed at the painter, burst on the minister^ and Cromwell lost his head, because Anne was a Flanders Mare, not a Venus, as Holbein had represented her." To this is added the following Note: " This very picture, as is supposed, was in the possession of Mr. Barrett of Kent, whose collection was sold a few yeais ago : but the family reserved this and some other curiosities. The print among the Illustrious Head? is taken from it; and so far justifies the king, that he certainly was not nice, if from that picture he concluded her handsome enough. It has so litle beauty, that I should doubt of it's being the very portrait in question: it rather seems to have been drawn after Holbein saw a little with the king's eyes." \ 48 Stet of t&e ^tctum. 69.

His subjects are views of villages, &c. by moonlight; and they generally are finished with a peculiar neatness of penciling. The lustre of his skies about the moon, and the reflection of the beams of that luminary on the surface of the water, characterize his pieces. [ = / 50 &tet of tfy picture?. 71, 72, 73, 74.

Hemskerk, called the Old, painted drolls and con- versations ; and of this latter it seems very extraordi- nary, that no circumstance relative to the time in which this great painter flourished, or to the school in which he was taught, should be taken notice of by any of the writers on the subject of painting; although, perhaps, through all Europe, no painter is more universally known, and few had more admirers. 75. Peter Tillemans has left works that sustain them- selves even in capital collections. He was born at Antwerp, and made himself a painter, though he studied under very indifferent masters. He came to England in 1708, and died 1734. 77< Cornelius Janssen painted portrait. Died in 1665. He was born at Amsterdam, (though in the Chrono- logical Tables, and in Sandrart, it is improperly as- serted that he was born in London ;) and he resided in England for several years, where he was engaged in the service of King James I. and painted several excellent portraits of that monarch, as also of his children, and of the principal nobility of his court. His style of colouring is clear, lively, and natural ; his touch is light; his pencil truly delicate. His pic- tures have a peculiar softness and sweetness in the carnations, and they are finished with remarkable neatness. Janssen was sometime resident in this neighbour- hood; and painted portraits of the families of Aucher of Bishopsbourne, Hammond of St. Albans Court, &c. 52 . . . 3Lt0t of fyt ^utureg. 78.

He was born at the Hague in 1611, and, according to the testimony of some writers, was a disciple of Vandyke ; but with much more proba- bility, according to others, he was a disciple of Hu- bert Ravestein. However he formed his taste, and his manner of penciling, by studying and copying the works of Vandyke, observing particularly the airs of the heads, which he very happily imitated ; and in the tints of his carnations he had somewhat so ex- tremely soft and delicate, as to give them an appear- ance little inferior to those of Vandyke.

He received his education in Westmin- ster School, as a King's Scholar, and in 1624 was elected student of Christ Church. He was appointed Master of Westminster School, December 13, 1640; in which laborious station he continued above fifty- five years, and bred up the greatest number of learn- ed scholars that ever adorned any age or nation. He died April 5, 1695. There is reason to suppose that Dr. Busby was related to the family of Busby, of Addington in Buckinghamshire. See Gent. Mag. Vol. lxv. for 1795. p. 15. 88.

This artist, whose fame is so well established in these kingdoms, was born at Lubeck, in the Duchy of Holstein, in 1648, and re- ceived his first instruction in the school of Rem- brandt ; but he afterwards became a student of Fer- dinand Bol, under whose direction he continued a considerable time. He then travelled to Rome, where he was extremely assiduous, and had the hap- piness of being directed in his pursuit of improve- ment, by the precepts and advice of Carlo Maratti. At length, after visiting Venice, and spending some time at Hamburgh, he came to London ; and it was a circumstance of good fortune to Kneller, that he gained the favour of the Duke of Monmouth, by whom his merit was made known to the Court.
