OXFORD PORTRAITS.

WRITTEN BY EDWARD F. STRANGE.

The Oxford Historical Society has had tho
happy idea of making a loan collection of the
portraits belonging ip the variotis colleges of the j
University and arranging them for public exhi- (
Dition. The first result oi' the labours of the very :
strong committee which undertook this pleasjint !
task is now to be seen in the Examination Schools I
at Oxford, and will remain on view until the 2fitn j
of May. It is restricted to portraits of person
ages who died before the year 1(525 ; and, if the
enterprise meets with anything like the success
it *dese>rves, later generations will be dealt with
in two further exhibitions. Whatever may
be the measure of support accorded to it by
the general public, the organisers are already to
be congratulated on a real success in all essentials.
The work was well worth doing, and ' it has been
well done. The pictures exhibited are for the
most part rarely seen, and there has been no oppor
tunity of making those comparisons between con
temporary works, on which all real criticism of
style and serious efforts at attribution must rest.
The exhibition is, moreover, well timed. The
present generation does not accept the dogmas of
its predecessors in art matters wit.h any approach
to unswerving fidelity. The old generalisations
as to the foreign origin of nearly everything
artistic which appeared in this country before
the Eighteenth Century have now to submit
to the severe test of detailed and particular
examination, and if in some cases the alien theory
has undoubtedly been maintained in others suffi
cient credit has been shown to belong to native
artists for one to welcome any fresji body of
evidence which may throw light on. the question.
It is perhaps from this point of view that
the exhibition of Oxford portraits will make
its strongest appeal to students. We know
that, however great was the merit of British
handicraftsmen of Pi-e-Eeformation times — and
it was indubitably very great — in the fine art
of painting this country was far behind those
of Western and Southern Europe. Isolated
instances of presumably native work occur ;
but they are few and uncertain : in portraiture
almost wanting altogether before the date
of Holbein's visit — though it needs only the
names of the models to give hk-jh rank in this
category to some of the heads painted on the
Norfolk rood-screehs. Those at Cawston, for in
stance, are finer portraiture than all but a very few
of the examples now exhibited, and date from
ftbout the year 1500. With this work we would
be inclined to class the portrait of William of
Wykeham (No. 2), lent by the Warden of New
College, though there may be some later repaint
ing to be reckoned with. The great bishop is
represented kneeling on a chequer-work pave
ment, a detail somewhat characteristic of the
period 1470-1530, and the drapery, is also treated
in the manner of that time. Another portrait of
him is shown (No. 3), a three-quarter length, with
views of Winchester and New Colleges ; but this
is a much more conventional and less personal
piece of work, and should, perhaps, be placed
about a century later. The "King Henry V."
(Queen's College) has much internal evidence of
authenticity as a portrait, but the painting can
hardly be old enough to justify it; While
that of Archbishop Henry Chichele (All
Souls' College) is quite crude and unconvincing, so
that one would ascribe it to one of the mere

INTRODUCTION
By Lionel Cust, M.V.O., M.A., F.S.A., Director of
the National Portrait Gallery, Surveyor of the
King's Pictures and Works of Art, &c.
ri^HE importance of Historical Portraits, as documents illus-
-*¦***- trative of our national history, is now very widely recognized.
Thomas Carlyle, in words which have been often quoted, said :
' In all my poor historical investigations it has been, and always
is, one of the most primary wants to procure a bodily likeness of
the personage inquired after — a good portrait if such exists ;
failing that, even an indifferent, if sincere one.
' In short, any representation made by a faithful human creature
of that face and figure which he saw with his eyes, and which I can
never see with mine, is now valuable to me, and much better than
none at all.
'It has always struck me that historical portrait galleries far
transcend in worth all other kinds of national collections of pic
tures whatever ; that, in fact, they ought to exist in every country
as among the most popular and cherished national possessions.'
Until the foundation of the National Portrait Gallery, historical
portraits were scattered far and wide through the mansions of the
nobility and gentry, or in the halls and common-rooms of the great
Universities and other corporate institutions.
From the earliest days it had been the custom for collegiate and
other incorporated bodies to ""commemorate by portraits those
7

INTRODUCTION

persons who had done honour to such a body, or conferred
a benefit on it in some other way.
The collections thus formed, though in many cases sadly neg
lected through the indifference of posterity, remained for a long
time the only source to which the general public could have
recourse for information, or with which acquaintance could easily
be made. It is, however, within quite recent years that in the
case of the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge, to take the
most important examples, it has been recognized how much of
the University's history is bound up in the portraits which hang
upon the walls of their dining-halls and common-rooms, or of such
a great historic centre of learning as the Bodleian Library.
Cambridge University led the way by holding, in May, 1884,
an exhibition of University and College Portraits, followed by
a second exhibition in May, 1885 — both held in the Fitzwilliam
Museum. Great interest was evoked by these exhibitions, and
their effect is still making itself felt.
Oxford University — far richer, not only in the number of its
historical portraits, but also in their artistic merit — is now about
to call attention to their value, in not only one exhibition, but,
as it is hoped, a succession of exhibitions of portraits, illustrating
the history, customs and habits of the University from the earliest
days to the present time. As one of the most famous cities of the
world, Oxford has always been one of the central seats, not only of
learning, but of those arts and sciences which are the handmaids
of the Muses. During the seventeenth century the City and
University became one of the centres of political interest as well
as educational. Most phases of Oxford's history can be traced in
the portraits of her great men and benefactors, when they are
brought side by side in contemporary arrangement.
An additional advantage to be gained by such exhibitions as
that just about to be inaugurated is the opportunity for studying
8

INTRODUCTION

portrait-painting as an art, and for thus obtaining that know
ledge and discernment of truth, whereby the good can be separated
from the bad, and the genuine from the copy or from the mere
fabrication. The period chosen for the present exhibition covers an epoch in
the history of art in England upon which exact information is still
very much to be desired.
Although the portrait -painter's art was not entirely unknown
under the Plantagenets, the unsettled state of the Kingdom made
it difficult, or impossible, for the arts to flourish and develope as
they did at the Burgundian or Hapsburg courts on the continent.
An artist might be summoned from abroad to the Court of
Richard II or Henry VII, on some special business, such as Jan
Gossaert of Mabuse, or Pietro Torregiano, the sculptor ; but
there is no evidence that the arts were patronized by the English
kings, as they were by Maximilian or Charles V, or the Dukes of
Burgundy. It was not till the arrival of Hans Holbein that any firm ground
can be reached for the student of art-history. But Holbein did
not come to England until November, 1526, and returned to Basle
in the summer of 1528. In 1532 Holbein visited England,
and remained there, except for missions abroad, until his unex
pected death from the plague, in 1543. It will thus be seen that
Holbein's period of work in England was much restricted. More
over, although Holbein seems to have entered the service of
Henry VIII in 1536, he was never naturalized in this country, and
probably always contemplated a return to Basle, of which town
he was a burgher, and where he had left his wife and children.
Genuine portraits by Holbein are very scarce. So high a pitch
of excellence did he attain in his art, that a portrait must sustain
the severest tests of criticism before it can be accepted as Holbein's
work, he being a painter who was never second-rate.
c 9

INTRODUCTION

Holbein was by no means the only painter in England during
the reign of Henry VIII. There were John Browne and Andrew
Wright, the serjeant-painters, whose duties seem to have been
rather decorative and domestic than purely artistic. Antonio
Toto and Bartolommeo Penni, the Florentines, engaged to carry
out large schemes of wall-painting in the Raphaelesque manner ;
Girolamo of Treviso, also Italian; Lucas, Gerard and Susanna
Horenbaut, from Ghent, all of whose names are more connected
with the art of miniature-painting than any other.
After Henry VIII's death, we read of one Guillim Stretes, to
whom various paintings of Edward VI and other personages have
been attributed ; Jan Rave, or Joannes Corvus, as he latinized
his name, who painted Mary Tudor as Princess, the Duke of
Suffolk and Bishop Foxe ; and of one Gerbicus Fliccius, a German,
who painted the portrait of Thomas Cranmer in the National
Portrait Gallery, and seems to have inherited and carried on the
tradition of Holbein more than any other of his contemporaries.
Mary Tudor had for the painter of her predilection Lucas
D'Heere, of Ghent, who combined the florid school of historical
painting retained by Frans Floris with the close and minute
carefulness in portraiture which is such a strange contrast to the
Floris style. Antonio Moro, who was sent to England by Charles V
to paint the portrait of Mary Tudor for her intended husband,
Philip, does not appear to have visited England except on this
occasion. Moro's relations with Englishmen seem to have been
due to his close friendship with Sir Thomas Gresham, whose
portrait he painted several times when at Antwerp or elsewhere in
the Netherlands.
Under Elizabeth portrait-painting flourished more freely, though
the sovereign's own taste does not appear to have been very high.
During her reign a number of Netherlandish artists settled in
London, as refugees from the Alvan persecution. Among these
io

INTRODUCTION

were the aforesaid Lucas d'Heere, and Marcus Geeraerts, of Bruges,
a painter of the school of Pourbus, which had already become the
fashion in France, and the father of Marcus Geeraerts the younger,
who is better known as Mark Garrard, to whom may be attributed
a number of the rich costume-portraits of the period from about
1590-1610, including many of Elizabeth herself. These foreign
artists formed quite a colony in London, and were much related
by intermarriage. It is now that we begin to hear of the 'picture-
maker' rather than the 'painter.' During the whole of this
period, from Holbein downwards, the painter's practice was to
make a drawing, probably at one sitting only, from the subject,
with notes of the costume and accessories. The portrait was
then completed on panel in the painter's studio ; and when once
completed was capable of being repeated many times or even varied
by the painter or his assistants. Painting on canvas seems to have
come in with the Italian artists ; but actual oil-painting on canvas
does not seem to have come into general vogue until the days of
Van Dyck and his successors.
Elizabeth's Court was also visited by foreign artists of the
rolling-stone nature, such as the versatile Cornelis Ketel of Gouda,
who could paint with his feet as well as his hands, and the exile
Federigo Zuccaro, who came here in 1574 as a refugee from the
Vatican, where he was engaged in some decorative paintings in
the already decadent Italian style, and who after a very short
sojourn here made his peace with a new Pope and returned to his
native country. It is curious that the accidental mention of the
fact that Elizabeth did sit to Zuccaro for her portrait has led
to the ascription, in defiance of all evidence as to style, of the bulk
of the costume-portraits of the hard and dry Netherlandish school,
Marcus Geeraerts and others, to the hand of Zuccaro, an artist
trained in the fluent and facile schools which followed the great
traditions of Raphael and Michelangelo at Rome.
n

INTRODUCTION

The reign of Elizabeth was, however, marked by the appearance
of a native school of artists. One George Gower had a privilege
from Her Majesty for painting the Queen's portrait, and though
his work cannot be distinguished from that of his contemporaries,
it must have had some importance. One of Holbein's legacies
to England had been the art of painting portraits in small, or
limning, an art which was inherited by Nicholas Hilliard, of
Devonshire, who with his pupil Isaac Oliver, of Rouen, established
that school of exquisite painting which, through a misuse of the
word, has now come to be known as the art of miniature-
painting. The accession of James I made but little change in the art of
portrait-painting. The art or craft of the picture-maker increased
and multiplied, and Englishmen like Peake made a good business
of the art as well as the foreigners. The age was, therefore,
unusually prolific of portraits. The foreigners practising in
England can be divided into schools — the Antwerp school, as
yet uninfluenced by Rubens, represented by Paul Van Somer,
Blyenberch, and others; the Hague or Delft school, represented
by Daniel Mytens and his family, and by the large workshop
of Miereveldt; the Bruges, or Pourbus school, represented in
England by Marcus Geeraerts ; and last, but superior, the Utrecht
school, represented by Gerard Honthorst, the favourite painter of
the Princes of Orange, and the special painter of the English
heroine Elizabeth, Queen of Bohemia, Cornelis Janssen van
Ceulen, born in London, has a special style about him which
distinguished him from the mechanical and soulless aridity of his
contemporaries. He and Honthorst were the only artists capable
of rivalling and even influencing the new genius which was about
to illuminate English art, and divert its whole trend and direction
— the genius of Anthony Van Dyck.
It will thus be seen how much there is to be learnt from an
12

INTRODUCTION

assembly of portraits of the Tudor period. If the painters seem
for the most part of foreign extraction, it must be remembered
that during this epoch of history there was in progress that
movement which may be called the making of England, and that
it was only under Henry VIII and Elizabeth that the nation
began to acquire that national character which we are proud to
call British.

THE Pictures are arranged approximately in the chronological
order of the deaths of the subjects, beginning on the left of
the entrance and filling the screens on the north side of the central
gangway from west to east, and returning on the south of it from
east to west. The pictures on the walls are hung to correspond as
closely as possible with the arrangement on the screens. Anonymous
portraits are placed near those of personages who died in the year
in which they are dated. The undated unknown portraits are
mostly grouped on the central screens at the east end of the room.
All portraits, except where otherwise stated, are by unknown
painters. The pictures are, with few exceptions, catalogued under the
names given to them by the contributors ; and the Committee is
in no way responsible for their authenticity.
Portraits are described under four sizes — bust, the head and
shoulders ; half-length, to the waist ; three-quarters length, to the
knees or below ; whole-length, the entire figure.
The terms 'to right' and 'to left' denote to the right and left
of the spectator.
In the measurement the height is always placed before the width.
Abbreviations: b., born; m., married; d.,died; r., right; l.,left.
