HE follotving lines should be called, perhaps, an acknowledgment rather than a Preface, inasmuch as what I have to say in them is mainly to express gratittide for favours received. First then, let me record my sense of the honour and the favour done me by Her Majesty The Queen, in giving Her gracious permission to reproduce such miniatures as I might select from the Royal Library. The like acknowledgment is due to many noble and private owners (too numerous to mention here) of similar treasures. I have appended their names in the list of Illustrations, and to each and to all I beg to offer most sincere thanks for their courtesy. As to the book itself, whilst it does not claim to be an exhaustive treatise upon an art, the history of ivhich extends over centuries, nor to be a biographical dictionary of the numberless artists who have practised " limning" I trust the characteristics of the style of the leading painters are made clear, and that particulars of their careers are given m sufficient detail. I am indebted to Redgrave s Dictionary of Artists; and to Dr. Propert's History of Miniature Painting, for valuable information on the subject. The substance of som£ of the earlier chapters appeared in the '' Art Journal" of i8g6, and I am glad to have the proprietors consent to the utilisation of it. V. In the Appendices will be found the titles, purchasers, and prices of the Miniatures at the famotis Strawberry Hill sale ; also the Miniatures contributed to the " Old Masters " in iSjg, and to the Ttidor, Sttiart, and Guelph Exhibitions. I have to thank the Council of the Royal Academy, and the Proprietors of the New Gallery for kind permission to use the Catalogues of these important Exhibitions. To the accotcnts given of Sir W. Ross, R.A. and R. Thorburn, A.R.A., I have added, in the one case, the titles and owners of the portraits at the Exhibition of Sir William's works in i860 (Appendix B) ; and, in the case of Mr. Thorburn, a list of his principal sitters, for which I have to thank his widow. I have arranged alphabetically all the named examples of the unrivalled Loan Collection at Kensington in 1865, when between 3,000 and 4,000 Miniatures were shewn, and added, in a large number of instances, the date of birth and death of the persons represented. This mass of information should form a valuable body of reference matter, shewing, as it does, what portraits exist of given individuals, and who possess them ; as well as what works of given artists are available for inspection : in short, its utility as a means of historical illustration and of artistic comparison should be very considerable. In the Index the names of the Artists mentioned in the book (zvith dates where procurable) are given in italics, these form a fairly comprehensive list of Miniature Painters, sufficient, it is hoped, for ordinary purposes of identification. The Appendices have entailed much labour, and errors must alm,ost inevitably creep into a book containing thousands of names and dates; for these and all other shortcomings I ask indulgence. In every case the ascription given by the owner has been retained. It only remains for me to repeat my thanks to the owners of the numerous and valuable portraits which have been le7it to me, and to say that without their generous aid the work wotild never have been attempted.

HE subject dealt with in the following pages is a many sided one, but it claims special attention, (i) as regards its relations to Art, (2) as regards its relations to History. Viewed from the artistic standpoint, fine miniatures possess technical features of delicacy and of beauty peculiar to themselves ; whilst, as historical illustrations, genuine portraits lend, it must be owned, a living interest to our annals still greater than they already possess. " We see the faithful effigies of those who have played extraordinary parts and proved themselves select men amongst men; we read their countenances, we trace their characters and conduct in the unreal images, and then, as if made free of their company, follow on with redoubled animation the events in which they lived and moved and had their being." Hence authentic portraits are things of real and deep importance to students of Art, of Historj', of Literature, of Costume, and I know not what other branches of that most fascinating study — the Past. The history of what is commonly understood as miniature painting dates back nearly four centuries, and whilst the names of no native oil painters in life-sized portraiture, before the days of Vandyke, have come down to us, we have a succession of eminent " painters in little " commencing with Hilliard in the reign of Elizabeth, continued by Isaac and Peter Oliver and culminating in the "inimitable" Samuel Cooper in the reigns of Charles I. and Charles II. BRITISH MINIATURE PAINTERS. A study of the lives of British miniature painters, and a careful exam- ination of a large number of their works, lead the writer to the conclusion that the whole subject may be divided, somewhat roughly perhaps, but not incorrectly, into four well marked periods — that is to say 1. From the arrival of Holbein in England in 1526 to the death of Samuel Cooper in 1672, 2. From 1672 to the middle of the i8th century, 3. From 1760 to the death of Cosway in 1821, 4. From 1821 to the middle of the century, or, if this division by dates should seem of too arbitrary a nature, we may say in other words and in more general terms — a. From the middle of the reign of Henry VIII. to the death of Charles II., thus covering part of the Tudor and nearly the whole of the Stuart period, b. From the Revolution to the death of George II. c. The reign of George III. d. From the days of George IV. to the opening of the Great Exhibition in 1851. It is interesting to observe that this rough chronological dissection reveals a certain, I might almost say a close, coincidence with dynastic changes and distinct social epochs; but, tempting though the topic may be, it would lead us too far afield, moreover, it pertains rather to the domain of the historical essayist than to the subject matter of these ^ges. I shall not, therefore, stop to enlarge upon these distinctions, but ask the reader to accept them as they stand as being sufficient for practical purposes. Their accuracy or otherwise will become apparent as the work proceeds. We have seen that a history of English miniature painting is a history of English art for many years, and that the period through which these native artists flourished is unquestionably one of the most stirring in our national life. Thus there are good grounds for claiming attention to the works of these eminent " painters in little " as historical illustrations of an importance which has perhaps never been sufficiently recognised hitherto. Indeed, time was, and not so long ago, when miniatures were regarded as mere bric-d-brac. Here and there a collector was to be found riding his harmless hobby, and the great world looked on him with an indulgent eye, regarding him as a mere "snapper-up of unconsidered trifles." But even in those dark days for Art in England, the times of the second George, when we had a king on the throne who hated "boetry and bainting." and when most of his subjects probably thought as he did, Horace Walpole formed the Strawberry Hill collection, examples from which are now so highly prized, that if the contents Ci ■^ um^i Q 3 ieath of thai thi!- r iigii •epoch > jpic may WT rather to the domain of . > .<4, T -I. - 11 \ INTRODUCTORY. of the (sham) Gothic house at Twickenham could be again brought together and offered for sale, the miniatures, at any rate, would fetch prices that would make George Robbins " the Prince of Auctioneers " open his eyes in amaze- ment, for in his time ten pounds was a common price for a Petitot. If the reader will turn to appendix A he will find four-and-a-half guineas paid for a Hilliard, and ten guineas for Coopers and Holbeins. Obviously works of Art of this nature have always retained a certain value, otherwise it would seem difficult to account for their preservation during all the perils to which they have been exposed — in some cases for centuries — especially when one bears in mind how easily they are injured and destroyed, how easily lost. In old times we know they were worn as treasured ornaments, and old portraits commonly show miniatures hung around the neck or suspended from the person, often in choicely enamelled cases, an interesting example of which I give from Belvoir Castle, and describe on the next page. But in the period of neglect of the art which followed the discoveries of Talbot and Daguerre, miniature painting well-nigh perished of inanition, so that a popular belief arose that the art had altogether ceased to be practised, and when some years ago Robert Thorburn died, we find a leading article in The Times declaring that his vocation had collapsed, and speaking of this heir of an art which had flourished for centuries as a man who found himself "stranded with a cargo of unsaleable talents;" it likened him to an owner of a cellar of rare wines whose friends had with one consent turned teetotallers ; and, again, compared his fate to that of a hand-loom weaver, when the new machinery was introduced. But with all respect to The Times, and with due regard to the mutability of things human, and to the changes of that most capricious thing called fashion, I believe an important art does not die quite so easily, and this particular one which we are now considering is deep-rooted, it is nourished by some of our deepest-lying national characteristics ; in a word, it is our fondness for home, and our attachment to those who make it so dear to us, that give vitality to portraiture, and never failing freshness to every branch of it. While confessing our faith in the future of miniature painting, it must be owned that photography put miniatures out of fashion ; their ineffectual fires paled rapidly beneath the rays of the rising, new, and wondrous sun-painting, so that a generation which had cheerfully given its hundred guineas for a Ross, a Newton, or a Thorburn, suddenly ceased to care for such, and dis- astrous indeed were the immediate results. But now it is seen clearly enough that, whilst photography can claim the advantages of rapidity, of cheapness, and of a veracity often painful, it is as yet but a handmaid to Art, useful BRITISH MINIATURE PAINTERS. indeed, but not a substitute for a master hand. Sir William Ross declared, on his death bed, that "it was all up" with future miniature painting; but let us regard it rather as having undergone a partial eclipse. Let us cherish this beautiful art, and let us seek to maintain a high standard of excellence, for we know that it is capable of portraying every refinement of character, and, when united with technical excellence, calls up, as Walpole has truly said, so many collateral ideas as to fill an intelligent mind more than any other species of painting. The personal element inseparable from miniatures is that which lends such surpassing interest to many of these relics of the past; they show us living presentments of some of the fairest and greatest of our race; they bear names renowned in the court, the camp, the grove ; filling the records of statesmanship, arms, arts, and letters. The men and women who sat for them are they who made our history, and their forms and features possess and must retain, as long as the pigments with which they are painted endure, a perennial charm. These " pictures in little " often pack, as it were, the story of a life into a few square inches. As an instance of the associations which attach to miniatures, I may call attention to the portrait of Sir Walter Raleigh and his son, from Belvoir Castle, of which I give reproductions by kind permission of the Duke of Rutland. These were found by the writer detached from their enamelled case, which, by the way, was only less interesting than the original portraits. The entwined initials W. E. R. (Walter and Elizabeth Raleigh) and the heart, and other emblematic ornaments upon this case show that it was a treasured souvenir of those ill-fated men, and was doubtless worn by Lady Raleigh in memory of her son and husband. The assembly of Raleigh's fleet and the attack upon the Spanish settlement of San Thom6, on the Cayenne River in Guiana, when young Raleigh, the first born was killed, are depicted by vignettes at the foot of the miniatures themselves in an unusual and interesting manner. ///.

CCORDING to the author of "Anecdotes of Painting," "they who undertake to write the history of any art, are fond of carrying its origin back as far as possible," but in the case now before us we need go no farther than to the old missal painters ; they were the fathers of miniature painting as we moderns understand the term, and the minute and exquisite labour of cloistered monks expended upon Books of the Hours or Lives of the Saints, led by later developments to the art of the Olivers, of Cooper, and of Petitot. We may regret that we know but little of these early artists of the Script-, orium, but "their works do follow them," and the manuscripts which have escaped the wreck of time and the ravages of neglect and fanaticism are silent but eloquent testimonies of their patience and their skill. Some idea of the time and pains expended may be formed from the statement quoted in Mrs. Merrifield's "Arts of Painting," that Girolamo dai Libri was occupied on a work for Cardinal Farnese for no less than g years. Strictly speaking, the term missal painting should be confined to the ornamentation of the " Office of the Mass " of the Latin Church, but it has come to be applied as a general term to all illuminated devotional manuscripts, and as such may be here adopted. It is the connection with the old illumin- ator's work that has given rise to the word miniature, which is derived from the Latin minium, meaning red lead, in which the capital letters of the manu- scripts were drawn (hence its origin is closely analogous to our word rubric). The art of illumination being expressed by the low Latin verb miniare. The persons employed were classified as Miniatori, Miniatori Caligrifi, or Pulchri Scriptores, the latter no doubt wrote the body of the book, to the first belonged the task of painting the Scripture stories, the borders and the arabesques, and BRITISH MINIATURE PAINTERS. of laying on the gold ornaments of the MSS. The archives of the Benedictine and Dominican monks are said to be particularly rich in examples of this beautiful work. It has been noted that Samuel Pepys never used the word miniature, whilst Horace Walpole constantly does so. This would seem to prove that it came into use somewhere about the beginning of the eighteenth century; but there is something arbitrary in the use of the word, for it is applied to portraits painted in water-colours, on paper, vellum, or ivory, whereas figures, even when as small as Gerard Dow's, or not more than two or three inches high, are called small pictures. It would be interesting to determine, but it is most difficult to trace, what is the direct connection between the art of the illuminators and the specific art of the miniature painter. The link appears to be missing, although it may be plausibly urged that what we now understand as miniature painting may be the outcome of the practice of introducing portraits of the dignitaries of the Church which obtained in the devotional books of the later missal painters. Mr. Redgrave may intend to suggest this descent in his " Century of Painters " when he speaks of the " illuminators .... and the ' steyners,' or painters who painted and gilded the carver's wooden and stone images and the devices of heraldry; and, at a later period, probably improved their imitation of the human face till their representations were recognised by the name of ' painters on board.' " Yet this seems hardly a satisfactory genealogy. Vasari, however, says, in his life of Giulio Clovio, " I know some private persons who have small cases containing beautiful portraits by his hand of sovereigns, of their friends, or of ladies whom they have loved." This is the only direct reference to miniatures, in the modern sense of the word, with which I am acquainted, until we come to Tudor times, when, in the works of Holbein and his follower, Hilliard, we have a definite starting point of our art, which was brought rapidly to perfection by the Olivers and Samuel Cooper. The earliest miniatures were painted on vellum, and the term applied to them is derived, as we have seen, from the materials used in illuminating missals in the middle ages ; but the practice of missal painting may be said to have a far more remote origin and it is to the Orient, as in the case of so many arts and religions, that we shall have to turn our eyes to find its source. Egyptian papyri were undoubtedly "rubricated," and it is only reason- able to suppose that from the valley of the Nile the use of gold and silver and colour in adorning MSS., found its way into Greece and through Greek artists to Rome. But no examples earlier than sometime after the Christian Era have come down to us. This brings us face to face with a subject of the greatest interest, but one too vast to be dealt with in such a work as this. It needs but a scanty knowledge of the treasures which fortunately still MISSAL PAINTING. remain for our enjoyment to prove the truth of this assertion. I shall, therefore, not attempt to deal exhaustively with the topic, especially as it may be thought to be somewhat remote from what we understand by miniatures proper; nevertheless, not wishing to underrate the importance of early manuscript art in the genesis of miniature painting, and recognising the influence it must have had in leading the way step by step to portraiture, I shall endeavour to take a hasty survey of the subject by reference to some of the principal schools and some of the most noteworthy examples to which access can now be had in various public collections. A noteworthy feature in the earliest instances of Christain art that we know of is the fact that Christ is depicted as Orpheus, and Old Testament history is illustrated by mythological legend. The persecutions the Christian Church underwent in its infancy led to the use of a symbolism of which the Catacombs furnish us with many illustrations. But in the fourth century at Byzantium, under the protection of Constantine, Christain art ventures, so to speak, to stand erect and assumes an open, distinct character of its own and this gave rise to that well known, well marked type known as the Byzantin school. Written in letters of gold or of silver, upon vellum stained purple, these early devotional works were magnificent indeed. At Upsala, in Sweden, is preserved a splendid example known as the Codex purpureo — Argenteus. It has been dated as early as a.d. 360 and is probably the most ancient illuminated manuscript known. In the Cottonian library may be seen two leaves of purple-stained vellum. The British Museum also boasts another example called the Canterbury Gospels ascribed to the eighth century. In Italy and at Vienna are early specimens of a similar character. The Louvre possess a noble work of the ninth century in the shape of the Prayer Book of Charlemagne. In the Vatican are preserved MSS. of Virgil of which the illuminated Schedae Vaticanse is the most celebrated. The next school of missal painting which demands our attention is the Hibernian, or as it is sometimes called Anglo-Celtic. This should excite our interest from its intimate association with the early history of these Islands, but it also compels admiration for the beauty of its minute and elaborate interlacing of geometrical patterns. The figure drawing is distinctly inferior. It is noteworthy that in design this work presents a similarity to Mexican and Indian ornamentation. Dublin boasts of a fine example of this school in the shape of the "Book of Kells," a precious relic rescued from destruction by Archbishop Usher, who got it from the Abbey Church of Kells, Co. Meath, in 1621, whence its name. Confiscated during the Commonwealth, it was given by Charles II., when BRITISH MINIATURE PAINTERS. he came to his own again, to Trinity College, where it still remains. In the British Museum is the famous Durham Book, the work of Irish monks at Lindisfarne, and dated about 720 a.d. To the munificent patronage of Charlemagne we owe another school, known as the Carlovingian, wherein work of much splendour was wrought during the end of the eighth and beginning of the ninth century. When the tomb of the great Emperor at Aix-la-Chapelle was opened, a copy of the Gospels was found upon his knees and is now preserved in the Louvre. The " Golden Gospels " in the British Museum belongs to this period. In what is generally called " Opus Anglicum " we have work of distinctly native origin, vying with the best continental art of like nature and of the same period, that is to say, the end of the tenth century. It is characterised by great richness of decoration and by originality of design. There is a famous example of Opus Anglicum preserved at Utrecht, but this is thought to be exceeded in beauty by the " Benedictional of St. CEthelwald," of which the Duke of Devonshire is the fortunate possessor. It contains a dedication showing that it was made by the scribe Godeman, for CEthelwald, who was Bishop of Winchester, a.d. 963 — 984. Herein we are told that the Bishop " commanded a certain monk subject to him, to write the present book, and ordered also to be made in it certain arches, elegantly decorated and filled up with various ornamental pictures, expressed in divers beautiful colours and gold." The foregoing brief summary, though it has brought us hardly so far as the era of the Norman Conquest and therefore deals only with the early schools of illuminators, may suffice to show how wide a field would have to be traversed were one to attempt to deal in any exhaustive manner with the subject ; and when the reader is reminded that the work went on, through ever varying phases of beauty, down to the middle of the 17th century it will be admitted, I think, that it is out of the question to pursue this branch of the subject in further detail. With mention of a missal belonging to the Rouen Library, some three feet in height, which cost a monk named d'Eaubonne some 30 years labour and was finished in 1682, we may bring these remarks on illuminated manuscripts to a close. Even if it were not foreign to the purpose of this work to trace in detail the developments of missal painting in various countries from the nth to the i6th century, it would be difficult to assign to any particular school or period the definite origin of the art of miniature portrait painting which in this country is generally first identified with Holbein and his follower Hilliard, and was brought rapidly to such perfection in the works of the Olivers and Samuel Cooper. MISSAL PAINTING. Enough, I think, has been adduced to show that monkish skill applied as I have indicated, is the undoubted parent of the art of " limning in little." Whilst this seems clear, it is nevertheless somewhat remarkable, after making full allowance for the lapse of time and the ravages of decay and neglect, how little we know of our early painters. Doubtless they had their share of recognition in their own day. They were known as " illuminators," and we have seen how much of their exquisite delineations of flowers and foliage, of animals, and of the human form is with us yet. Doubtless the Church gave them shelter and its munificent patronage gave them employment. We find frequent mention of them as " decorators," or " steyners " as they were then called. Heraldry, again, must have been another field for their talents, and they painted and gilded the imagery both in wood and stone of shrines and tombs, and, says Redgrave, probably improved their imitations of the human face till their representations were recognised by the name of "portraits on board." Still, their names are buried in oblivion and we know very little about them, nor is it likely we shall ever know much more. Troublous times, accidents, ignorance and Iconoclasm have all had their share in bringing about this result so much to be regretted. | HWa *.

"Flanders and Holland," he says, "have sent us the greatest men that we can boast"; and it is undeniable that if we exclude the foreigners who were attracted to this country during the Tudor and Stuart periods, and who found fame and fortune here, our Art record, down to the middle of the sixteenth century, would be very meagre indeed. Several of these foreigners were painters of considerable eminence, and contemporary records abound in references to them. Their influence must have been strongly felt, and it was from them our native painters derived their inspiration. It is true Cardinal Wolsey when envoy at Rome, does not seem to have been able to induce Italian artists of the first rank to come to England, although Raphael, Da Vinci, and others did honour the court of Francis I.; but from Lanzi we learn that Lucas Penni and Girolamo da Trevigi were employed here. Vasari mentions a lady miniature painter, viz., Levina Teerlinck, daughter of Master Simon Benninck of Bruges ; nor must we omit Susannah Horneband, Hornebonde, Hornebolt or Horembout. The latter belonged to a family of miniaturists, of whom Mr. Nichols, in Archceologia, has given us some interesting particulars: her father was in the king's service at a monthly pay of 33s. 4d. ; her brother, Lucas Hornebolt or whatever his correct name may have been, was even better paid, viz., 55s. 6d. per month, which was 12 BRITISH MINIATURE PAINTERS. more than Holbein received. The household books of Henry VIII. show the painter received his salary in April, 1554; but not so in May, when the following quaint entry was made, " Item for Lewke Hornebonde, paynter, wages nil, quia mortuus." Guicciardini has left an eulogium upon the sister Susannah, of whom we have already spoken, and Albert Durer records in his diary meeting her with her father at Antwerp in 1521, she being then about eighteen years of age, and how he gave her a florin, for she had made a coloured drawing of our Saviour, of which he says, "It is wonderful that a female should be able to do such a work." She is supposed to have married an English sculptor named "Whorstley, and to have died in good circumstances at Worcester. The Mrs. Teerlinck referred to must have been held in high repute. Thus, in 1547, "Maistris Levyn Teerling, paintrix," was paid quarterly £11, and we read of her presenting Queen Mary with a small picture of the Trinity as a New Year's gift. Again, in 1558 she presents her Majesty Elizabeth with "the Queen's picture finely painted on a card," and received in return "one casting bottell guilt," weighing two and three-quarter ounces. And, in 1561, she presents "the Queen's personne and other personages in a box finely painted." " One guilt salt with a cover," weighing five and a quarter ounces, was the return made for this. In spite of the distinction attained by these various artists, to whom may be added Gwillim Streetes, a Dutchman, court painter to Edward VI., mentioned by Strype, I am not aware of a single example being identified as the work of either of them. It is probable that many miniatures painted by them were lost in the fire at Whitehall, wherein perished so many interest- ing works of art. Another plausible reason which may be assigned for the absence of works attributed to these artists, well known though they must have been in their day, is the fashion which has so long obtained of ascribing everything painted about this period to Holbein, in spite of Walpole's caution that "we must not consider every old picture to be a Holbein." Before quitting this part of our subject, viz., the extensive employment of foreign artists in England, and the large part they play in the Art history of this country at that period, particular mention may be made of Van Cleef, a painter from Antwerp, who came to England bringing the introduction of his countryman. Sir Antonio More, or Moro, and expecting great prices for his pictures from King Philip, who was making a collection ; but unluckily some of the works of Titian arrived at the same time. Walpole gives what one feels instinctively to be an exaggerated account of the frenzy into which " this industrious painter of Antwerp " was thrown, how he abused More (who was in the service of the Emperor Charles V., and, by the way, was over here to paint Queen Mary's portrait by command of Philip, with whom he IV Mary, Queen of Scots, /anel.

But Van Mander describes him as the best colourist of his time, and particularly noted for the rendering of the hands. Charles I., whose fine taste is well known, purchased two or three of his pictures. James II. had also two examples of his work, and the portrait of Henry VIII. at Hampton Court is by some ascribed to Van Cleeve or Cleef. One of the most familiar names belonging to this period is that of Janet or Clouet. A large number of works in this country and on the Continent are attributed to Francois Clouet or Janet. Lord Carlisle formerly possessed, I believe, some 80 or 90 in black and red chalk drawings in the manner of Holbein, of the Courts of Henry II. and III., Francis II., and Charles IX. These were sold to the Duke D'Aumale, and may be seen at Chantilly. I am not aware that this artist practised the art in England, and the whole subject connected with the Clouets (for there were undoubtedly several of them) is one of great difficulty. There was, in short, a family of them, and as they belong to the history of French Art I do not propose to attempt to unravel the tangled skein of their identification. I may refer the reader to Mrs. Mark Pattison's history of the Renaissance for further particulars about them. It so happens, however, that one of the most cherished miniatures in the large, deeply interesting, and priceless Royal collection at Windsor, is a portrait by this same Fran9ois Clouet. It is well known, and was one of the attractions of the Exhibition of the Royal House of Stuart at the New Gallery in i88g. As Mr. Holmes, the keeper of the Royal Library, pronounces it's " authenticity to be without the shadow of a doubt," remarking it has never been out of the Royal possession, he regards it as "the standard authority on the vexed question of the true features of the beautiful Queen." I am glad to be able, by the gracious permission of Her Majesty, to give a direct transcript of this famous portrait. In the often quoted catalogue of King Charles the First's Art custodian, the words " Supposed alsoe to bee done by Jennet, a French limner," are added to the entry of this " Picture of Queen Maria of Scotland." When one thinks of "the maze of conjectures, blunders, and contradictions which time and ignorance have constructed " round the subject of old portraits, it is consoling, in a way, to find from the con- cluding line of this description that even in those days of leisure there was doubt about the proper ascription of portraits, arising from the neglect of the simple and proper, but too often disregarded practice of putting the name of the original and of the artist upon every work. It must be borne in mind that this picture was of King Charles' grandmother, who had not 14 BRITISH MII^IATURE PAINTERS. been dead many years, and whose fate, it might be supposed, would have led to a careful record of anything relating to so deeply interesting a relic, and so important a family portrait. No doubt Lucas de Heere, Sir Antonio More, probably Zucchero, and other foreigners who practised in this country painted miniatures. There is an interesting work in the collection of Earl Spencer, which is ascribed to the first named artist, of which I give an illustration. It is Sir John Boling Hatton and his mother ; she was the heiress of Holdenby, Co. Northampton, and Sir John was father of the celebrated Christopher Hatton, Elizabeth's Lord High Chancellor. The work is said to be signed L. and dated 1525, but this of itself would cast a doubt upon the accuracy of the ascription, since in that case we should be required to believe that the artist painted it nine years before he was born. By the aid of a glass I think I discern a T. following the L., in which case the conjecture may be hazarded that the miniature is the work of Levina Teerlinck, of whom we have already spoken. The example attributed to Sir Antonio More is one from the collection of P. A. Howard, Esq., and is of the Fourth Duke of Norfolk when 25 years of age. Like his father Henry, Earl of Surrey, who was executed by order of Henry VIII. 15 years before this work was painted, this member of the Howard family was destined to perish on the scaffold; for his efforts on behalf of Mary Queen of Scots, when a prisoner in England, led to his being attainted of high treason, and he was beheaded by order of Elizabeth in 1572, when only 35. But it is with Holbein that the list of limners most appropriately commences, and of him we shall treat in the next chapter.

E have seen that the art of miniature painting in this country has a most distinguished founder, and in all its genealogy of close upon four hundred years can show no greater name than that of Hans Holbein the younger. But whilst Holbein's fame has stood the test of centuries, and his reputation survived the fathering of countless spurious examples upon it, some of the most salient points in his career were wrapped in obscurity until a few years since, when fresh light was thrown upon the subject by the discovery, made by Sir Augustus W. Franks and Mr. Black, of the real date of his death. We may now accept it as established beyond doubt that Holbein died in London, probably of the plague, between October and November, 1543, and not in 1554 as was long supposed. Among the archives of Basle is a letter from one Burgomaster Meyer to a goldsmith of Paris, Jacob David, dated November, 1545 ; in this, speaking of the painter's son Philip, mention is made that the father is deceased. This very interesting discovery is of obvious moment in dealing with works attributed to him. The whole subject is an apt illustration of the uncertainty which so often attends the history of the lives of eminent men. It is, however, perfectly clear that Johannes Holbein came of a family of painters, and was born at Augsburg, in Bavaria, between the years 1495 and 1498. About 1515 he removed to Basle, where he made the acquaintance of Erasmus, who was settled there in 1521. Various reasons have been assigned for his leaving Switzerland, such as the plague, poverty, and the shrewish temper of his wife: be the real cause what it may, we find him, perhaps attracted by the then well-filled coffers of Henry VIII., visiting England when about thirty-two years of age, that is to say in 1526. The famous scholar gave him a letter of introduction to Sir Thomas More, in whose house at Chelsea he remained some time, painting portraits of his distinguished patron's family and friends, amongst others Archbishop Warham, Fisher, Bishop of Rochester, Sir Henry Guildford, and Sir Thomas More himself. He returned to Basle, and revisited this country in 1531 to find his friend become Lord Chancellor. Visitors to the Tudor Exhibition at the New i6 BRITISH MINIATURE PAINTERS. Gallery in i8go can hardly fail to have noticed the group of the More family, the original drawing for which is at Windsor. The example here shown was lent by Major-General F. E. Sotheby, and is thus described: "No. 1087. Family group of the More family in two generations, from the picture in the possession of Mrs. Strickland, of Cokethorpe, by Peter Oliver." Walpole mentions six copies, and dismisses them in the following terms : " The two smaller," he says, " are certainly copies ; the three larger probably not painted by Holbein; and the sixth, though an original picture, most likely not of Sir Thomas and his family." Lord St. Oswald's fine example at Nostell Priory seems to have established the best claim to be considered the original work. Redgrave disputes More's having introduced Holbein to the king; but without crediting the scandalous aspect which his biographer Patin gives to his moral character, it is probable that his disposition was in accordance with Henry's taste, and he was soon taken into that monarch's service. On March loth, 1538, we find him acting as " a sarvand of the Kynges Majesties named Mr. Haunce " ; he was at Brussels with Sir Philip Hobby, (whose portrait, by the way, forms one of the incomparable series of Holbein heads from the Royal Library). His business there was to take the likeness of the young widowed Dowager Duchess of Milan. Subsequently he was paid " costis and charges in going to High Burgundy." In this same year he gave the king for a New Year's gift " a table of the picture of the Prince's grace," which has been surmised to be Lord Yarborough's " Edward VI. as a child." The first mention of payments from the Crown appears in Sir Brian Tuke's accounts for 1538, from which we learn that the painter's salary was £yi per annum (in judging of this remuneration, the relative value of money then and now, must be borne in mind), and he seems frequently to have had his pay in advance. There is evidence in these accounts of the Royal House- hold that Holbein was a favourite of the King's, and he appears to have had apartments in the Palace at Whitehall, in connection with which Van Mander tells the well-known story of Henry's rebuke to a troublesome nobleman about the court who came into collision with the painter. To this period, the zenith of his powers, many of his finest works may be attributed, notably the full-length portrait of the Duchess of Milan, now the property of the Duke of Norfolk, and the Duke of Northumberland's picture of Edward VI. as a child, etc. The former, which Mr. Wornum styles " a stupendous picture," was, through the generous loan of its owner, for a long time on view in the National Gallery. It may be remembered that overtures of marriage were made this lady on behalf of Henry VIII. These proposals for her hand she is reported to have declined on the ground that she was possessed of but one neck ! fl. 3 CJ '^ -J d ~- . o c TJ . o 1=1 >. 13 SOB ^ -^ » ^ >> s es r-j a U h1 K HOLBEIN. ly The Queen contributed a magnificent collection at the Tudor Exhibition of pictures and drawings attributed to Holbein. Reluctantly passing these by with a mere mention, we must now come to the more particular connection of this distinguished artist with the subject of this book, viz., miniatures. Mr. Wornum roundly asserts there is not a single one in existence that can be positively assigned to Holbein ; although Van Mander tells us explicitly that " he 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 soon surpassed." Moreover, we have the testimony of a distinguished pupil, Hilliard (of whom more hereafter), who says, plainly enough : " Holbein's manner of limning I have ever imitated, and hold it for the best." Sandrart follows Van Mander, and says Holbein began practising the art when in the king's service, having been incited thereto by the excellence of the works of " Master Lucas." Vander Doort, in his catalogue of Charles L's collection, mentions two miniatures of Henry VIH. ascribed to Holbein ; but, says Mr. Wornum, it is next to impossible to identify them now, and the same authority asserts that, of the four miniatures of Henry now at Windsor which have been called Holbeins, three appear to have been executed before the painter came to England, and the fourth after his death ! On the other hand, the critical and learned author of the " Life and Works of Holbein " is disposed to allow that two miniatures in Her Majesty's collection, viz., the two sons of the Duke of Suffolk, who both died in one day of the sweating sickness, may, perhaps, be justly ascribed to the Augsburg limner. Whoever may have been their painter, they merit a description, which Mr. Wornum gives as follows : — " Henry Brandon, Duke of Suffolk, in a black cap with white feather, and a black coat with green sleeves, blond hair cropped all round; he is resting his left arm on a table, on which is written, 'etatis sv^ 5, 6 sepdem, anno 1535.' Blue ground painted on the back of the ace or three of clubs. The other is his brother, Charles Brandon, Duke of Suffolk, in a grey and red coat, with black cuffs ; his shirt collar is embroidered with black thread, round the outer edge. Blue ground. On a tablet is inscribed 'ann 1541, etatis sViE 10 marci,' This is painted on the back of a king. Both are of the same size — one and eleven-twelfths of an inch in diameter. They are said to have been given to Charles I. by Sir Henry Vane, and both are entered as Holbein's work in Vander Doort's catalogue. . . . They are freely, firmly, and yet elaborately executed." Vide illustrations. The Queen also possesses a miniature of Catherine Howard (of which the Duke of Buccleuch has a replica), commonly assigned without hesitation to Holbein. In addition there are in Her Majesty's collection two miniatures of Henry VIIL ; thus described in Vander Doort's catalogue : — "No. 46 item. Done upon the wrong light. King Henry VIH.'s picture. i8 BRITISH MINIATURE PAINTERS. with a beard, in a black cap, and black ribbonds about his neck, in an ash-coloured tissue suit, in a furred cloak, his name and age in golden letters written on it ; being also one of the number which were given to the King by Lord Suffolk" (the 2nd Earl). The date on the back is 1638. The original is the exact size of the illustration. " No. 48 item. Done upon the right light (i.e., the subject's right, our left). Another and lesser picture, as if it were a copy of the aforesaid picture, without a beard, also in a black cap, and a little golden chain about his neck, in an ash-coloured wrought doublet, in a furred cloak with crimson sleeves, his name and age also written on it with golden letters. Being one of the limned pictures which my Lord of Suffolk (Theophilus Howard, second Earl of Suffolk, K.G., ob. 1640) gave to the King (Charles I.)." On the back is written, probably by Vander Doort, 'In the cubbord within ye Cabot rooms at White hall, 1638.' It is one and three-quarter inches in diameter. Another exceedingly characteristic example of this painter, also at Windsor, which I am permitted to reproduce, is a portrait of Elizabeth, wife of George Touchet, Lord Audley, and daughter of Sir Brian Tuke, Treasurer of the Chamber to Henry VIII. It carries, so to speak, conviction with it as a faithful likeness. Upon the question, " did Holbein paint miniatures ? " it may be urged on the one hand, that, as Mr. Wornum justly remarks, we have no key to his miniatures, and it is remarkable that there is no contemporary account of his drawings of this class : whilst there were artists living in this country at the same period by whom we know high-class work of the kind was pro- duced, however difficult it may be of identification. On the other hand, none of his works of this nature are signed : the bent of his genius inclined in this direction : and we have the direct testimony of Hilliard that he was " a limner." Moreover, there is in the Bodleian a M.S.S. entitled " Miniatura or the art of limning," by Edward Morgate, dedicated to Henry Frederick, Earl of Arundel, dated July 8th, 1654, in which it is stated " the incomparable Holbein, in all his different and various methods of painting either in oyle, distemper, lymning, or crayon, was, it seems, so general an artist as never to imitate any man, nor ever was worthily imitated by any." The numerous examples attributed to him — there were more than twenty shown in the Loan Collection of Miniatures at South Kensington in 1865 — are no evidence ; for such is the prestige of his name, that everything of real excellence which could, with any show of reason, or even probability, be assigned to him, has been unhesitatingly thus ascribed. As an instance of the exceeding difficulty attending the identification of works of this period. VII. o ;i: M M Ol-S te H S ■^ r^ 1) S Q - \/^ HOLBEIN. ,5 take the illustration of Catherine of Arragon, which once formed part of the famous Colworth collection. When in Mr. Magniac's hands it was described as on vellum, and as being by Hans Holbein, and it was identified as being the example from Strawberry Hill, of which Walpole says " it was given to the Duke of Monmouth by Charles II ; I bought it at the sale of the Lady Isabella Scot, daughter of the Duchess of Monmouth," but had the quotation from the Anecdotes of Painting been made with a little more care, it would have been seen that it could not apply to the work just mentioned with such an interesting pedigree, because it is described as being not merely exquisitely finished, but on a round and a blue ground. The very interesting portrait of Henry, Duke of Richmond, which was also in the Strawberry Hill collection, is generally considered Holbein's work and was formerly in the collection of that connoisseur of well known judgment and taste, the late Mr. Sackford Bale. It bears the following inscription : — " Henry, Duck off Richemod. iETAXis sue xv°." It is painted on an ace of hearts. The young man in question, it will be remembered, was a natural son of Henry VIII. by Lady Elizabeth Talboys ; he did not survive his 17th year. There is, however, no diversity of opinion upon the extraordinary lifelike and truthful quality of his portraiture, full of subtle delineation of character, constituting a rich legacy, enabling us to realise the counterfeit presentment of many of the leading actors of the stirring times in which he lived as vividly, if not so fully, as we can do with the men and women of the eighteenth century, by means of the pictures of Reynolds. It is remarkable, however, how much more handsome his men are than his women. Again, according to Fuseli, the scrupulous precision, the high finish, and the Titianesque colour of Holbein make the least part of his excellence, as those will allow who have seen his ' Design of the Passion,' and that series of emblematic groups known under the name of Holbein's ' Dance of Death ' ; whilst, apropos to his perfection of " technique," Du Fresnoy says : " As for Holbein, his execution surpassed even that of Raffaelle, and I have seen a portrait of his painting with which one of Titian's could not come in competition." But in truth, the powers of draughtsmanship possessed by Hans Holbein the younger require no vindication, and we may accept Mr. Sidney Colvin's dictum that he was second only, if second, among the artists of German race, to Albert Diirer. The learned keeper of the Print Room at the British Museum adds " no artist ever drew with a more masterly austerity of style and economy of means, and perhaps none with an equally unerring power of expressing the essential points both of physiognomy and action." To realise how masterly his dravnng is, the reader has but to study the "design BRITISH MINIATURE PAINTERS. for a Clock " shewn in the Print and Drawing Gallery at the British Museum; it is in pen and ink with Indian ink wash, and was a working drawing for the clock maker. It was carried out, and for what purpose is shown by the inscription in the lower corner in the handwriting of Sir Anthony Denny : — " Strena facta pro anthony deny camerario regio quod in initio novi anni 1544 regi dedit : i.e., New Year's gift, made for Anthony Denny Chamberlain to the King, and by him given to the King at the beginning of the New Year 1544," (which was the year, it will be remembered, after the artist's death). There are several portraits of Holbein himself, one of which, viz., Lucas Vosterman's print, has given rise to the curious tradition that he painted with his left hand. This has arisen from the engraving being rendered the reverse way of the drawing, and thus the painter is represented with the brush in the left hand. The portrait of Holbein here given is from the exquisite small drawing in body-colour on vellum in the Salle des Desseins, at B^le. It represents him when twenty-one or twenty-two years of age ; clad in a pale, drab, loose overcoat, with dark brown velvet facings, and a red cap ; his eyes are a rich brown. VIII. Oi "saw ^ ;r^ O! K CHAPTER V. N. HILLIARD. ^^^J^^'^^^Mf^ 1 ^^^^M ^^^^^^^^'^^^-:Mms^\ N Nicholas Hilliard, or Hillyard, we have the first EngHsh-born miniature painter who rose to eminence, or whose reputation, at any rate, has endured to our own day. He is said to have been born in 1547, and was the son of Richard Hilliard, of Exeter, high sheriff of that city and county, 1560 — (a portrait of this worthy, by the way, was sold at Strawberry Hill for four-and- a-half guineas.) His mother was Laurence, daughter of John Wall, goldsmith, of London ; a fact which no doubt accounts for Nicholas being brought up to the business of goldsmith and jeweller, this being an occupation closely connected with the early history of the art of limning; and we commonly find a liberal use of gold made in Hilliard's miniatures in heightening the effect of the dresses and the ornaments with which they are studded. He seems to have acquired proficiency at an unusuallj' early age. Thus a miniature was exhibited at Kensington in 1865— a portrait of himself by his own hand. This is signed N. H., and dated 1550. It was formerly at Colworth, and is now, I believe, in the possession of Mrs. Hogge. One meets with frequent instances of precocity of genius in the annals of Art, but to suppose that this portrait was painted when the artist was three years old is, of course, absurd, and there is clearly a mistake somewhere. By the way, Walpole mentions the Earl of Oxford having a portrait of Hilliard done by the artist himself when he was thirteen. The Duke of Buccleuch exhibited at the " Old Masters," 1879, a miniature described as a "portrait of the painter (N. Hilliard), born 1547. Inscribed ano dni 1573. ^tatis suae ^j" Here there is an obvious discrepancy of over ten years. 22 BRITISH MINIATURE PAINTERS. Hilliard's rise must have been a rapid one. We find him early in high favour with Elizabeth. Pilkington says he owed his introduction to the Queen to the interest of Raleigh, but I have not met with any evidence for this assertion. He engraved the Great Seal in 1587, and he was appointed gold- smith, carver, and portrait-painter to the Virgin Queen to make pictures of "her body and person in small compasse in lymnynge only." It is commonly said he was enjoined to paint her Majesty without shadows. This injunction, if true, may be regarded as a characteristic instance of feminine vanity rather than as a sufficient reason to account for the flatness of treatment for which he is sometimes blamed. James I. granted him a patent to this effect : " Whereas our well-loved servant, Nicholas Milliard, gentleman, our principal drawer of small portraits, and embosser of our medals in gold, in respect of his extraordinary skill in drawing, graving, and imprinting, etc., we have granted unto him our special licence for twelve years to invent, make, grave, and imprint any pictures of our image, or our royal family, with power to take a constable and search for any pictures, plates, or works, printed, sold, or set up." Walpole has remarked, concerning Hilliard's manner of painting, "although he copied the neatness of his model (Holbein), he was far from attaining that nature and force which that great master impressed on his most minute works. Hilliard," he adds, "arrived at no strength of colouring; his faces are pale and void of any variety of tints; the features, jewels, and ornaments expressed by lines as slender as a hair. The exact dress of the times he curiously delineated; but he seldom attempted beyond a head. Yet his performances were greatly valued." That he was highly esteemed by his contemporaries is clear from Dr. Donne's lines — "A hand or eye By Hilliard drawn, is worth a historye By a worse painter made." In Heydock's translation of " Lomazzo on Painting," published in 1598, we are told that "limning was much used in former times in Church books, as also in drawing by the life in small models of late years by some of our countrymen, as Shoote, Betts, etc.; but brought to the rare perfection we now see by the most ingenious, painful, and skilful master, Nicholas Hilliard." And the same author speaks of his being much admired by strangers as well as by natives. Inasmuch as Shoote was sent by the Duke of Northumberland to Italy, in 1550, to improve himself in architecture and to study at Rome, he must have been anterior to Hilliard, who was not born till 1547. As regards Walpole's criticism upon the paleness of the faces in Hilliard's work, I venture to assert, having examined a great many examples, /x IM S ^J •^ CD ^ 5 ^ ~ •Si S2 ^ •^ It; *». S O o 2 « Oh N. MILLIARD. 23 that the flatness complained of is attributable to the carnations having flown ; indeed, the flesh tints are often so faded as to make the features almost past recognition, whilst, on the other hand, the draperies and ornaments being painted in opaque colours are remarkably perfect. He commonly painted on card or vellum, and used, it is said, a brush composed of hairs from a squirrel's tail. His works are generally signed N. H., and frequently have a motto and date written round the edge in Latin, and abbreviated. In the loan collection of miniatures shown at the South Kensington Museum in 1865, were between thirty and forty examples attributed to Hilliard ; amongst these was one on vellum belonging to the Duke of Buccleuch, of Edward Seymour, Duke of Somerset, brother of Jane Seymour, and uncle of Edward VI., beheaded on Tower Hill, 1552. Round the portrait is inscribed " Edwarde, Dvke of Somerset + Anno Domni + 1560," N. H. (connected). Here we have a case of a signature which would make Hilliard only thirteen when he painted this miniature. The same remark applies to a portrait formerly owned by Mr. Magniac, of Darnley, Earl of Lennox, which bears the following inscription : " Comes Linox, And Dni, 1560, ^tatis su^ 18 " ; Lady des Vceux has a miniature of Elizabeth in her twenty-fifth year, dated 1564. These instances, if correct, strengthen one's doubts as to the accuracy of the generally received date of the painter's birth. As might be expected, there were several portraits of Elizabeth in the Kensington collection (no less than seven), proving that, if she had neither taste nor feeling for Art, she had no objection to a multiplication of portraits of herself, concerning which Walpole remarks "There is not a single one to be called beautiful. They are totally composed of hands and necklaces. A pale Roman nose, a head of hair loaded with crowns and powdered with diamonds, a vast ruff, a vaster farthingale, and a bushel of pearls, are the features by which everyone knows them at once." The " pale Roman nose " is well shown in the portrait of Elizabeth, of which I give an illustration. This is from a fine miniature which belonged to Canon Harcourt Vernon, who believed it to be the only profile dravnng of the great Eliza known. It is probably by one of the Olivers, and is an excellent example of the ornate jewellery which it was the fashion of the time to wear. It came from Penshurst with portraits of Essex, Dudley, and others ; these were given to Canon Harcourt by the Hon. Mrs. Anson, to whom they were bequeathed by her aunt, the Hon. Lady Yonge. In the Royal Academy exhibition at Burlington House in the winter of 1879, amongst the treasures shown by the Duke of Buccleuch was the celebrated Hilliard mentioned by Granger, and well known from the engraving 24 BRITISH MINIATURE PAINTERS. by R. White, representing George Clifford, Earl of Cumberland, champion to Queen Elizabeth. The earl is dressed as for a tournament ; he wears an enormous flapped hat, with a glove, the emblem of his office, fixed on the front ; indeed, the picture is full of curious details which we cannot stop to describe. Part of a group of remarkable miniatures, from the same superb collection, was another portrait of Elizabeth, which has at any rate a good pedigree. It is mentioned in the catalogue of the limnings belonging to Charles I., and is therein said to have been " done by old Hilliard, bought by the King of young Hilliard," and was described as having a picture-box hanging at her, the Queen's, right breast. There is another portrait of Queen Elizabeth spoken of by Walpole as one of Hilliard's most capital performances, namely, a whole length of her in robes sitting on her throne. This was also in Charles's collection, and included in the catalogue by the Keeper of the King's Cabinet.* A copy of this list was discovered, says Walpole, some years ago in Moorfields. It fell into the hands of Sir John Stanley, who permitted copies to be made, from one of which Vertue obtained a transcript. But the whereabouts of these miniatures remained unknown until quite recently when one day some of them were brought into a London print-shop by a picture frame maker, who, having bought them with other things, offered them for sale. An examination of the backs of the portraits disclosed the C R with crown above, and no doubt as to their identification exists. They were purchased by the late Duke of Buccleuch at a moderate price, and were shown at the Winter Exhibition of the Royal Academy in 1879. Fourteen Hilliards are specified in the above-named catalogue, including a view of the Spanish Armada. Four of these, portraits and copies of older pictures, are now at Windsor, and were once attached to a gold and enamelled jewel, the work on which, it is surmised, was probably also Hilliard's, he being, as we have seen, the court goldsmith ; the portraits are those of Henry VII., Henry VIII., Jane Seymour, and Edward VI. The latter Vander Doort describes as " meanly done " " upon a round card." This remarkable example of goldsmith's work has on one side the Roses of York and Lancaster, and on the other a representation of the Battle of Bosworth Field. There are jewelled badges upon the dress and cap of Henry VII., and the miniature is dated 1509, the year of his death. In Horace Walpole's copy of Vander Doort's catalogue, it is noted : " The above jewel and pictures were done by old Hilliard, and given to the King by young Hilliard, by the deceased • Abraham Vander Doort — whose end was pitiful indeed. A miniature of the parable of the lost sheep by Gibson was entrusted to his care by the King. The keeper hid it so carefully that when wanted it could not be found, and Vander Doort hanged himself in despair. Y Sir Philip Sidney. Isaac Oli-i'cr. The Queen. N. MILLIARD. 25 Earl of Pembroke's means." Bric-a-brac collectors are not likely to soon forget the portrait of James I. sold at Christie's on the dispersal of the Hamilton Palace collection, of which mention has been already made. Theire are extant several miniatures of the unfortunate Arabella Stuart attributed to Hilliard. One formerly belonged to Lord Wilmington, from whom it passed to Horace Walpole, and was sold at Strawberry Hill for eight guineas, and the Duke of Buccleuch has one representing her as a girl "with a baby face." Lord Derby has a portrait of Drake in his forty-second year. The Rev. Canon Vernon Harcourt possessed the Lady Mary Sidney, Countess of Pembroke — ' Sidney's Sister ' ; she was daughter of Sir Henry Sidney, and married Henry, Second Earl of Pembroke ; she died at her house in Aldersgate Street, and was buried in Salisbury Cathedral. The Arcadia was dedicated to her, and Ben Jonson wrote her epitaph : " Underneath this sable hearse Lies the subject of all verse ; Sidney's sister, Pembroke's mother, Death, ere thou has slain another Fair and wise and good as she. Time shall throw a dart at thee." This interesting miniature, of which an illustration is given, came from Pens- hurst, where was an admirable likeness of the painter himself in his thirtieth year, which is here reproduced. Lord Wharncliffe possesses a portrait of James L in oils on card, and of his consort, Anne of Denmark ; and Mrs. Naylor Leyland owns a portrait ascribed to Hilliard, which has, at any rate, a most circumstantial history. It is of Mary Stuart, Queen of Scots, and was given by her to one of her maids of honour on her marriage, from whom it descended to her grandson, the second and last Earl of Middleton ; he gave it to his god-daughter, Elizabeth Dicconson, daughter of the Steward of the Household of James XL, grandmother of the late Charles Scarisbrick, to whom the portrait descended from him to his daughter, the present possessor. But probably no miniature attributed to Hilliard is more beautiful or more interesting in itself than one in the Buccleuch collection, shown in the Academy Winter Exhibition in 1879. It is a portrait, in good condition, delicately wrought, of Alicia Brandon, whose features are delightful from their vivacity and ingenuousness. This lady was the daughter of John Brandon, Chamberlain of the City of London, and Nicholas Hilliard married and painted her, as we see from the inscription, which runs — "Alicia Brandon, NiCOLAI HiLLIARDI, QUI PROPRIA MANU DEPINXIT, UxOR PRIMA. AnO DnI 1578. .^TATis Su^ 22." N. H. (connected). The picture is circular in form, and has a rose-turned case of logwood with an ivory circular rim. I believe it was bought a few years ago by a jeweller in what is called a "job lot" of old gold and silver, and for a small sum. a6 BRITISH MINIATURE PAINTERS. In appendix F will be found particulars of all the Hilliards shown at the Loan Exhibition at Kensington in 1865. They comprise several people about the court of Elizabeth, for example, Nicholas Harbon, Ambassador to Constantinople, dated 1598, "^tatis Suas 50"; Mrs. Holland, maid of honour, dated 1593, "iEtatis Suae 26"; Lord Keeper Coventry, inscribed " Custos Sigille " ; Lady Hunsdon ; the unfortunate Arabella Stuart ; and of Spencer the Poet, which last, now at Berkeley Castle and the property of Lord Fitzhardinge, is here given. Hilliard had an only son, Lawrence, who followed his father's profession. Lawrence had several children (Dallaway mentions four), and was living in 1634. He enjoyed the patent granted by James to Nicholas until its expiration. It is surmised that this privilege was a source of considerable emolument to the Hilliards, and gave them control over the engravers and printsellers of the period, to whom licenses were granted. Simon de Passe was employed ty them in engraving small plates of the heads of the Royal Family. There is a warrant of the council extant dated 1624, ordering the payment of ^^42 to Lawrence Hilliard for five pictures " by him drawn." The elder Hilliard died on the 6th of January, i6ig, and was buried in St. Martin's-in-the-Fields. He left to his sister, Anne Avery, twenty pounds of thirty that was due as his pension (the same amount as Holbein's salary, by the way), and the rest of his effects to his son Lawrence, his sole executor. a6 at .itpt^c.^fin - by ^ to L«wrenv.*i ! died on the 6th ; u -^ He left to his si-.

THE OLIVERS AND JOHN HOSKINS. N the branch, miniature, in which OHver excelled, we may challenge any nation to show a greater master, if perhaps we except a few of the smaller works of Holbein." Such was the opinion of the connoisseur of Strawberry Hill. To Hilliard — in conjunction with Zucchero — has been given the credit of having instructed a limner, "inferior," says Peacham, " to none in Christendome for the countenance in small," viz., Isaac Oliver or Olivier. There were two Olivers, Isaac, the father, and Peter, his eldest son and pupil. Walpole could find no account of the origin of the family; he adds, "nor is it of any importance; he (Isaac Oliver) was a genius, and they transmit {sic) more honour by blood than they can receive." He notes that in the elder painter's pocket-book was a mixture of English and French. Nichols, in his "History of Leicestershire," quotes an authority which relates that the family held lands at East Norton in that county. The careers of these two distinguished artists extend over more than a century, and great events mark the period embraced by their lives. The father, to whom for the present we shall confine our observations, is said to have been born in 1555 or 1556, in those dark days when Latimer and Ridley ^8 BRITISH MINIATURE PAINTERS. ■"lit the candle which, by God's grace, in England shall never be put out," and when Cranmer was brought to the stake in Oxford whereat " he never stirred nor cried " till life was gone. Isaac Oliver died in 1617 (the date of Raleigh's execution) at his house in Blackfriars, a year after Shakespeare passed away. Unlike the Hilliards, Oliver does not appear to have held any court appointment, but in an office book of Lord Harrington's (Treasurer of the Chambers) was an entry of payment by warrant, dated Lincoln, April, 1617, "to Isaac Oliver for four several pictures drawn for the Princes Highness £40," and in the Windsor collection is a profile of Anne of Denmark, mother of Charles I., this, by the way, was long regarded as a portrait of Queen Elizabeth ; also a portrait of Henry, Prince of Wales, which, according to Mr. Richard Holmes, the Queen's Librarian, is " the finest extant," he characterizes it as possessing a minuteness of execution combined with a breadth of effect which is admirable. This last-named and most interesting miniature is described in Charles I.'s catalogue as follows : " No. 17, done upon the right light, the biggest limned picture which was made of Prince Henry, being limned in a set laced ruff and gilded armour, and a landskip wherein are some soldiers and tents: in a square frame with a sheeting glass over it. Done by Isaac Oliver, 5^ inches by 4." At Windsor, too, is the celebrated full-length of Sir Philip Sidney sitting under a tree in an arcaded garden (alluding thus to Arcadia) with formal beds of flowers. It belonged to Walpole, and was sold at West's sale for £16 5s. I give a rendering of it, taken from the original in the Royal Library. Another magnificent instance of Isaac Oliver's work, in the shape of the portrait of the Earl of Dorset, is probably the most valuable miniature in the precious collection which Mr. John Jones bequeathed to the nation. It was formerly in the possession of Mr. C. Sackville Bale, and was sold at Christie's in 1880 for ;^750. It measures gj inches by 6J inches, is on thick card and in the most perfect state of preservation. It was shown at the Loan collection at Kensington in 1865, and was thus described : — " Richard, Third Earl of Dorset, was born 1539 in the Charterhouse, London ; he married the celebrated Lady Anne Clifford in 1609; he resided at Knole, in Kent, and was a great favorite with Henry, Prince of Wales ; he died in 1624. He is represented standing at a table between blue and silver curtains, resting his right hand on a plumed helmet. He wears a stiff lace collar, and a steel cuirass and gorget inlaid with gold. His trunk hose is profusely ornamented with golden- suns, crescent moons, and stars. The floor is covered with Indian matting, XII. m ■a ^ g .5 Cfl THE OLIVERS AND HOSKINS. 29 over which is a Persian carpet ; to the right, near his feet, is a suit of plain armour. This remarkable miniature is signed in full " Isaac Olliuierus FECIT 1616." It was bought at Jeremiah Harman's sale." The " celebrated Lady Anne Clifford " was a daughter and heiress of George, Earl of Cumberland ; she was governess to King Charles I.'s children. Walpole bought her portrait at Lady Isabella Scott's sale. It is interesting to observe that inasmuch that this miniature of Richard Sackville is dated 1616, it must have been among the latest works of the artist, since he died in 1617. The portrait of George Villiers, Duke of Buckingham, who was stabbed by Felton in the streets of Portsmouth in 1628, is probably another late example of Isaac Oliver. The original is in Her Majesty's collection, and is reproduced side by side with his Royal master. Amongst the finest Olivers in existence must be ranked those possessed by the Baroness Burdett-Coutts. They were shown in Messrs. Dickinsons' Loan Exhibition of 1880, and comprise the famous Digby collection of which Walpole was so proud ; illustrations are given of several of them. These hung in "the blue breakfast room" at Strawberry Hill, and at the famous sale fetched sums ranging from a few guineas to ^^178, prices which it is not too much to say are such as to make a modern collector green with envy. The way these treasures came into Walpole's possession is remarkable, and so aptly illustrates the vicissitudes to which miniatures are exposed that his account may be quoted. He says, in a note apropos to Peter Oliver's habit of making duplicates of his works for himself, " 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 (Mr. Watkin Williams). 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 him, 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, see illust- ration. 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. This 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." It is noteworthy that nearly all the portraits of Sir Kenelm and his wife ascribed to Isaac Oliver must be by Peter, as Isaac 30 BRITISH MINIATURE PAINTERS. died when the originals were boy and girl. Isaac OHver was buried in October, 1617. Sir Kenelm Digby was born in 1603. This discrepancy in Walpole's account, wherein, as we have seen above, he speaks of Sir Kenelm's mistress as being painted by the elder Oliver, may be owing to his misreading the monogram. There are many more well-authenticated examples of the work of the Olivers, e.g., Lord Derby has a portrait of "the wicked" Countess of Essex, and, in addition, an unfinished miniature on card of Robert, Earl of Essex, and another of Elizabeth, Queen of Bohemia, both bought at Walpole's sale, the latter for thirteen guineas, whilst the former most interesting portrait, / which has an undoubted pedigree, having belonged to Lady Wolseley, a descendant of Elizabeth's ill-fated favourite, went for seven guineas only. The Duke of Buccleuch exhibited at Burlington House, in 1879, twenty works by Isaac, and eight by Peter Oliver. Mention must be made of one other specimen of the powers of the elder Oliver, which, if it alone survived, would be sufficient to prove Walpole's assertion that " we have no one to put in competition with Isaac Oliver except it be our own Cooper." I refer to the group of the three brothers, Anthony Maria, John, and William Browne. This remarkable work is now at Burleigh (the noble owner of which historic house, is descended from the eldest of these young men). In Walpole's time it was at Cowdray, and he thus refers to it : " At the Lord Montacute's at Cowdray is an invaluable work of Isaac Oliver's. It represents three brothers of that Lord's family, whole-lengths in black. These young gentlemen resembled each other remarkably, a peculiarity observable in the picture, the motto on which is figurce conformis affectus. The black dresses are relieved by gold belts and lace collars, and contrasted by the silver-laced doublet of another young man, presumably a page, who is entering the room." The finish throughout the work is exquisite. It is signed I. O., 1598. It measures 10 by 9 (not 10 by 7, as Walpole says). Its superlative quality and its important scale fully justify Walpole's encomium, and make it one of the very finest portrait miniatures in existence. I believe it came into Lord Exeter's possession through his mother, the daughter of Stephen Poyntz, of Cowdray, who had married the only sister of the eighth Lord Montague. It is in perfect preservation, having, with three other pictures, escaped the fire at Cowdray in 1793. A strange fatality is said to have marked the end of the race of the Lords Montague, for the last scion of the house lost his life over the Falls of Schaffhausen just at the time the flames destroyed the old family mansion, and messengers bearing tidings, one of the death of the last Lord Montague by water, the other of the destruction of the home of the race by fire, are related to have met in Paris.

By his lordship's courtesy I am able to show a reproduction of it, and to subjoin the description written on the back. "This picture was painted in the year 1598, by the celebrated Isaac Oliver, the miniature painter, who was born in 1556 and died in 1617, aged 61 years. See Walpole's anecdotes of Painting, vol. i, page 166.

The said Anthony Maria, aged 24 years when the picture was painted, married Jane, daughter of Thomas Sackville, Earl of Dorset, Lord High Treasurer of England, and by her was great grandfather of Anthony Joseph Browne, the present Viscount Montague. John Browne, second son, aged 21 years, married Anne, daughter of — Giffard, Esq., and was ancestor of Mark Anthony Browne, of Eastbourne, Esq., now living. William Browne, the third son, died unmarried. The figure in white, aged 21, supposed to be a page. By Sherwin, 19 Jan., 1781. Copy. The original picture in London." I am indebted to a correspondent for the following genealogical details of these Brothers Browne and their descendants. " The eldest of the three succeeded his grandfather in 1592 as second Viscount Montague ; from him the Cowdray branch of the Browne family was descended and is now represented by Earl Spencer and the Marquis of Exeter, Earl Spencer being the senior co-heir. The second brother, John, married in 1594 Ann Giffard ; he died in 1640 and was the ancestor of the Brownes of Eastbourne and of Mark Anthony, ninth and last Viscount Montague." "The representation of the Brownes of Eastbourne, and of the said Viscount, now rests with Mr. du Moulin-Browne, who is his heir general and sole representative of that branch of the family. The third brother, William, was born in 1576, became a Jesuit lay-brother at Liege in 1613, and died there of the plague in 1637." Isaac Oliver's talents were inherited by his eldest son, Peter, who first saw the light in the closing years of Elizabeth's reign, 1601 and 1604, having both been assigned as the date of his birth. He died comparatively young, viz., two years before the execution of Charles I., and not in the year of the Restoration as was long supposed. This seems proved by the result of researches in the registers of St. Ann's, Blackfriars, wherein, according to Mr. Propert, occur the following entries — "Isaack Oliver buried 2 October 1617." " Mr. Peter Oliver buried 22 December, 1647." 32 BRITISH MINIATURE PAINTERS. Vertue saw a model of the bust which was erected with a monument in this church by Peter Ohver to the memory of his father. Both monument and church perished in the Great Fire of 1666. Peter Oliver is always termed the pupil of Isaac, but whether 1604 or 1601 be the correct date of the son's birth, there was but little time for tuition. At any rate the young painter must have made the most of his opportunities, as is shown by the description in Charles I.'s catalogue of "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." This measured 11 J by 15^ inches, and there is reference to another interesting work in the shape of a copy of Raphael's ' St. George,' dated 1628, measuring g^- by 7 inches, being about half the size of the original, which was sent as a present to Henry VII. by the Duke of Urbino in return for the Order of the Garter. This found its way back to the Royal collection when the Hamilton Palace treasures were sold in 1883. Mr. Holmes surmises this copy may have been given by Charles to the Marquis of Hamilton. The original was sold at the Rebellion, and is now at the Hermitage, St. Petersburg. He appears to have done a good deal of work of this nature; Vander Doort's catalogue mentions thirteen of the paintings in Charles I.'s collection which were copied in water colours by Peter Oliver, in addition to portraits of the Stuart family and others. He is also said to have painted his children's portraits and that of his wife, in oil. Concerning this lady, there is a little story about her and Charles II., told in connection with collectors and collections, in one of the concluding chapters of this work. Two portraits of Isaac Oliver are given, and one of Peter; of these, perhaps the most interesting is the one of the elder artist, in Her Majesty's collection, which represents him in a slashed doublet and ruff. And speaking of portraits, I may call attention to the fine miniature representing Isaac, which the Earl of Gosford possesses and is here shewn. In distinguishing the works of these great hmners it is important to observe that the elder signed his productions with the monogram (D, the younger with the initials " P.O." connected. Both artists worked upon card and upon "pecorella," or abortive vellum duly prepared, and Sandrart speaks of Isaac as " Membranarum Pictor Londinensis " ; he also testifies to the durability of his colours. These references show that his fame had extended to the Continent. As regards their style, Isaac's work bears an impress of Zucchero, and is a decided advance upon Hilliard's. This, I think, is fully borne out by the Arabella Stuart, which is a most interesting portrait of that xrr. Lady Mary Sidney. N. Hilliard. The Harcourt Family. Arabella Stuart. Peter Oliver. Capt. J.

THE OLIVERS AND HOSKINS. 33 lady, martyr to the political jealousy of James I. It belongs to the Stuart collection (see postea) and was shown in the Stuart Exhibition, in 1889, and has been described as the work of Peter Oliver. But, inasmuch as the ill- fated lady ended her days in the Tower in 1615, and we have seen that Peter Oliver was not born till after the commencement of the seventeenth century, it is unlikely that he painted it. Before she was laid with Mary of Scotland in Westminster Abbey, her health and her reason had both gone. In the work illustrated we have evidently the height of fashion of the period, both in dress and in the manner of wearing the hair. The former is richly ornamented with flowers and gold spray ; the latter falls in waves over her shoulders. I have a miniature, formerly at Penshurst, of Lady Dorothy Percy, in which the hair is treated in exactly the same way. The ornaments are white and gold, and a crimson scarf may be just seen across her bosom. Peter Oliver is even more free from stiffness, and examples by him seem to show the influence of Vandyck, whose works, he being Court Painter from 1632 to the time of his death in 1641, may have been, and probably were, closely studied by Oliver. We may sum up the merits of these two distinguished miniaturists in Walpole's words, who says : " We have no one to put in competition with Oliver except it be our own Cooper, who, though living in an age of freer pencil and under the auspices of Vandyke, scarce compensated by the boldness of his expression for the truth of nature and delicate fidelity of the older master. Oliver's son, Peter, alone approached the perfection of his father." There were two other Olivers living at this period, viz., John, a glass- painter (whom Redgrave asserts was a nephew and pupil of Isaac Oliver), and this John Oliver had a son Isaac, an engraver. The mention of Samuel Cooper, whose work demands special consider- ation, recalls the name of his reputed master, John Hoskins. Even if the last-named painter did not possess the claim upon our notice which tradition has assigned to him, he is an artist by no means to be over- looked, and though one misses in his works the refinement of the Olivers and the minute touch of Hilliard, whilst, on the other hand, they are certainly inferior to the masculine breadth and simplicity of Cooper, yet his miniatures are of sufficient excellence to arrest our attention ; indeed. Sir Kenelm Digby, in his "Discourses," says that "by his paintings in little he pleased the public more than Vandycke." This is high praise indeed, and is an opinion not shared by Walpole, who, whilst allowing his heads to have great truth and nature, finds fault with the carnations as "too bricky and wanting a degradation and variety of tints." It is remarkable how little is known of Hoskins. Vertue knew no more of him, says the author of the "Anecdotes," 34 BRITISH MINIATURE PAINTERS. than what was contained in Graham's " English School," viz., " that he was bred a face painter in oil, but afterwards taking to miniature far exceeded what he did before. He drew Charles, his Queen, and most of the Court, and had two considerable disciples, Alexander and Samuel Cooper, the latter of whom became much the more eminent limner." It may be observed that mention is made but of one Hoskins, and the opinion (to which Redgrave gives his support) that there were two John Hoskinses, viz. father and son, seems to rest mainly upon the foundation of a variation in the manner of signing the portrait. Thus the mark + is said to distinguish the works of the father from those of the son, which have I. H. simply. But if this be the test, then it may be urged there must have been several John Hoskinses, since amongst the miniatures shown at Burlington House by the Queen and the Duke of Buccleuch, ascribed to Hoskins, there were the following different signatures, viz., H. only; I. H. 1643; I. H. fc; IH (connected). This last is on the limning of Lucius Cary, Lord Falkland, which belonged to, and is mentioned by, Walpole, and is now her Majesty's. It was formerly Dr. Mead's. But if, however, it is true that a Hoskins painted James II. in 1686, there must have been a John Hoskins, junr., and he must have survived his father over five and twenty years. It is worth notice that of the twenty examples attributed to John Hoskins, which were exhibited in the Loan Collection at South Kensington in 1865, eight are not signed at all, whilst the remaining twelve are all signed I. H. From the Queen's collection I am able to show an excellent example of Hoskins (whose virile and unaffected style it well illustrates) in the portrait of Charles I. (see plate ). The character of this monarch, whom melancholy so truly marked for her own, is admirably shown in this portrait. I supplement it by an interesting miniature from Belvoir of Charles, when Prince of Wales, in his fourteenth year. The authorship of the Duke of Rutland's portrait is uncertain, but the difference in the expression of the face is patent and striking. It bears a latin inscription to this effect : " The most illustrious and most serene Charles, Prince of Wales, the greatest hope of Great Britain, in the fourteenth year of his age." There is said to be a replica of this miniature at Castle Howard, though I do not find any mention of it in a list I possess, and which I owe to the courtesy of Lord Carlisle. Hoskins was buried in Covent Garden Church, Feb. 22nd, 1664. XV Lady Throgmorton. /saac Oliver. Shoftesbuiy Family. Isaac Oliver. Earl of Gosford. Sir Nicholas Throgmorton. Isaac Oliver.

S. COOPER, &c. E come now to a painter in whom, it has been said, the art of miniature painting culminated. The fame of Hoskins has been ecHpsed by that of his nephew, Samuel Cooper, who was born in London in 1609. We learn that he was instructed by his elder brother, Alexander, but memorials of his life are scanty, nor does this signify : " His works are his history." He lived much on the Continent, and was intimate with many of the eminent men of his day. He was a linguist and an excellent musician. Probably the latter accomplishment endeared him to Samuel Pepys, who frequently mentions him in his " Diary," thus : — " 1668. July loth. To Cooper's, and there find my wife. . . . And here he do work finely, though I fear it will not be so like as I expected ; but now I understand his great skill in musick, his playing and setting to the French lute most excellently, and he speaks French, and, indeed, is an excellent man," This visit is explained by a previous entry, viz., March 29th ; — " Harris hath persuaded me to have Cooper draw my wife's (portrait) which tho' it cost £30 yet I will have done." The next day he goes to " Common Garden Coffee House," where he meets " Mr. Cooper the great painter ; thence presently to his house to see some of his work, which is all in little, but so excellent as, though I must confess I do think the colouring of the flesh ta be a little forced, yet the painting is so extraordinary as I do never expect to see the like again." Then follows a description of several portraits he saw in progress. " Mrs. Stewart's when a young maid," before she was dis- figured by the small-pox; "and it would make a man weep to see what she was then and what she is like to be by people's discourse now; my Lord Arlington's and Ashley's, and my Lord Generall's picture," and several others. (There were some thirty miniatures of the Cromwell family exhibited at South Kensington in 1865, and twenty of them were ascribed to S. Cooper, of these 36 BRITISH MINIATURE PAINTERS. more hereafter). He appears most struck by a miniature of "one Swinfen, Secretary to my Lord Manchester This fellow died in debt, and never paid Cooper for this picture Cooper," says Pepys, "himself did buy it (from the creditors), and give £25 out of his purse for it, for what he was to have had but ^^30." Thirty pounds seems to have been Cooper's price for a miniature, for the immortal pages of the Diarist record a visit to the painter's on August loth, in the following characteristic manner : — " To Cooper's, where I spent all the afternoon with my wife and girl, seeing him make an end of her picture, which he did to my great content, though not so great as I confess I expected, being not satisfied in the greatness of the resemblance, nor in the blue garment ; but it is most certainly a most rare piece of work as to the painting. He hath £30 for his work, and the chrystal and case and gold case comes to £8 3s. 4d., and which I sent him this night that I might be out of his debt." Elsewhere Pepys speaks of the artist being " a most admirable work- man, and good company." Evelyn, too, refers to him, and relates (January loth, 1662) being called into his Majesty's closet when " Mr. Cooper, ye rare limner, was crayoning of the King's face and head to make the stamps by for the new milled money now contriving. I had the honour to hold the candle whilst it was doing; he choosing the night and candlelight for ye better finding out ye shadows." What Hilliard did for the court of Elizabeth, that did Cooper in a more admirable manner for the distinguished men and women of a later, but not less interesting, period. He has stamped their express image ; and, often in the small space of three or four inches of cardboard, has revealed their mental characteristics, and well deserves the title which has been given him of a Vandyck in miniature. A typical example of Cooper's female portraits will be found in that of Barbara Villiers, the Duchess of CI eveland. This celebrated beauty, as everybody knows, was wife of Roger Earl of Castlemaine, and became by Charles II, mother of the Duke of Southampton, afterwards Cleve- land, and of the Duke of Grafton. In speaking of Cooper's manner, there is one detail which almost invariably distinguishes his work — that is the admirable way in which the hair is treated. It may also be noted his miniatures are generally signed "S.C." connected, and nearly always painted on card, ivory not being used until later. Perfect specimens of his work are delightful for sober sweetness of colour; they are especially remarkable for truthful simplicity of manner, and for delicate finish combined vnth unequalled breadth of treatment. A French critic, F. de Conches, has remarked that he. Cooper, was a man who knew xri Thomas Sackville, Earl of Dorset. Anin- Oliver. Jones Collection, S.K M. S. COOPER, &c. jy how to enlarge the style of a miniature, and describes his portrait of Cromwell as being vigorous as oil, perfectly modelled, and firm in touch. This work is in the Duke of Devonshire's collection, and an illustration is given of it. I am fortunate in being able to supplement it by an example from Stafford House, of an interesting specimen of the pencil studies from which Samuel Cooper was accustomed to paint his miniatures. Both are admirable. Accord- ing to Lord Ronald Gower, the latter was given by the late Mr. J. R. Planch6 to the second Duke of Sutherland in 1835. Apropos this portrait of Crom- well, Walpole has admirably summed up the painter's merits in a familiar passage wherein he declares that if a glass could expand Cooper's pictures to the size of Vandyck's, they would appear to have been painted for that proportion. " If his portrait of Cromwell could be so enlarged, I do not know but Vandyck would appear less great by the comparison." In a letter to Sir Horace Mann, Walpole makes a further reference to this portrait of the Protector. Thus, writing February 9, 1738, he says, "but our glaring extravagance is in the constant high price given for pictures. ... I know but one dear picture not sold — (this was at Mr. Furnese's auction) — Cooper's head of O. Cromwell, an unfinished miniature. They asked me four hundred pounds for it." Cunningham correctly assumes this to be "the one mentioned elsewhere as in the possession of Lady Franklin, Widow of Sir Thomas, a descendant of Cromwell, of which there is an exquisite copy in the Harley collection at Welbeck, made in 1723 by Bernard Lens." Of this masterpiece, Dallaway says it is recorded in the family that Cromwell surprised Cooper while copying the picture, and indignantly took it away with him. The original was shown at Burlington House in 1879, having passed into the hands of the Duke of Buccleuch. It formerly belonged to Mr. Henry Cromwell Frankland, of Chichester, who inherited it through a daughter of Lady Elizabeth Claypole. The Lady Frankland (not Franklin) named above, was the grand daughter of the Protector. Cooper, it would seem, had a habit of making copies of many of his works, and, judging by the close similarity between the portraits of the Digby family preserved at Sherborne Castle, and those belonging to the Baroness Coutts which have been already described, Oliver seems to have done the same, for although the latter, which, it will be remembered, came from Straw- berry Hill, are in the finer state of preservation, I have not heard it sug- gested that the Sherborne examples are copies by another hand; indeed the presumption would be the other way. The Duke of Devonshire possesses the profile drawing of Cromwell on paper in pen and brown ink, by Cooper, from which Houbraken engraved his portrait. ^8 BRITISH MINIATURE PAINTERS. In the loan collection of 1865 some eighty or ninety miniatures ascribed to Samuel Cooper were exhibited. These comprised seven of Oliver Cromwell, and almost as many of his son, Richard Cromwell, and his daughters : in fact the Protector's family seems to have been repeatedly painted by Cooper. I am able to give a beautiful example of his second and favourite daughter Elizabeth Claypole. She it was who is said to have upbraided her father for his share in Charles's death and his cruelty in sanctioning the execution of Dr. Hewitt, the Royalist agent. She died at Hampton Court in 1658, when only 29, and was buried with great pomp in Henry VII. chapel, at Westminster, and her coffin was found there in 1725. The portrait given is signed S. C. 1653, and belongs to the Duke of Devonshire. There is another Cooper in the Buccleuch collection of unsurpassed interest, viz. of Cromwell's Latin Secretary. To this miniature Aubrey's description of the Poet's appearance applies. Milton "had light browne haire, His complexion exceeding fayre, oval face, his eie a dark gray. He was a spare man." The Queen has a head of Charles II., which, together with George Monk, Duke of Albemarle, and the youthful Monmouth, form a trio of portraits difficult to surpass in character and expression, grace and simplicity. Both the latter are unfinished, as is not uncommon with Cooper's work, he being apparently content, when the likeness was obtained, to leave the rest. This peculiarity doubtless gave rise to Walpole's disparaging, and, it must be contended, unfounded remark, that " Cooper, with so much merit, had two defects. His skill was confined to a mere head; his drawing even of the neck and shoulders so incorrect and untoward, that it seems to account for the numbers of his works unfinished. It looks as if he was sensible how small a way his talent extended (!). This very properly accounts for the other [defect], his want of grace, a signal deficience in a painter of portraits, yet how seldom possessed." As to the latter deficiency, those who have seen the Monmouth at Windsor will hardly be disposed to allow it. As to the former, surely the artist who could delineate such subtleties of expression and character as Cooper has done could have "extended his talent so small a way " as to draw necks and shoulders had he been so minded. There is no want of finish in the elaborate portrait of Charles II. wearing his robes of the Garter, which is preserved at Goodwood, and reproduced in this volume ; it is, so far as I am aware, one of the largest and finest examples of the master. The link between Charles and the present Ducal House of Richmond, viz., " Madame Quarrel," as Louise de Querouaille the famous Duchess of Portsmouth was called, is of course well known. Another portrait ascribed to Cooper by its owner is that of Lady Chesterfield, presumably Lady Elizabeth Butler, daughter of the First Duke of Ormonde and second XVII ^ c "S H ^ M-1 ■• O g 3 § d Q ■^ -C -x: CJ CJ 6 S. COOPER, &c. 39 wife of Philip, Second Earl of Chesterfield. Readers of the " Memoirs de Grammont " will remember the jealousy felt by the husband of this lady, who removed her from the Court of Charles II. to the Country, as he mistrusted the attentions paid to her by the Duke of York. It has been said that Cooper's portraits of women are inferior to his portraits of men ; the beautiful example from the Sackville Bale collection in the shape of Lady Leigh, and also the Barbara Villiers, belonging to the Countess of Caledon, go far to disprove this assertion. I give an illustration of each. Samuel Cooper died on the 5th of May, 1672, and Mrs. Beale, herself a miniature painter, records his death in her diary as that of "the most famous limner of the world for a face." He was buried in St. Pancras Church. His wife, who was sister to Alexander Pope's mother, survived him. The Dyce bequest at South Kensington contains a portrait of his lady, and two of the painter himself; one of the latter is reproduced. I am indebted to Mr. R. F. Sketchley for the following extract firom the catalogue concerning them : " Portrait of the artist painted by himself, signed, S. C, 1657." Of the larger portrait (which is shown in the same collection), the catalogue says : " Portrait of himself drawn in chalk. Round the neck a lace kerchief tied with black ribbon. It is believed to have been in the Royal collection at Kensington, and is supposed by Walpole to be by Jackson, a relative of Cooper, but it is surely by the great miniaturist himself. It is taken at a later period of life than the last miniature, but the likeness of the two is identical." The portrait of Sir John King, which has been selected firom the Windsor collection, is a good example of Alexander Cooper, elder brother to Samuel. Sir John King was a highly successful lawyer of the days of Charles II. The King intended to make him Attorney- General, but he died when only 38. He is buried in the Temple Church. Works by Alexander Cooper are comparatively few in this country which may be accounted for by the fact that he resided many years abroad, at Amsterdam — and ultimately entered the service of Queen Christina. Mr. H. F. Holt had a portrait of the Swedish monarch, by him, which was exhibited at Kensington in 1865. In the same way the paucity of works by Samuel Cooper, executed prior to the Commonwealth, may be explained by his residence abroad. Amongst the miniature painters of this period must be named a family, the initial letter of whose name was the same as Cooper, whilst their work resembled his in style. I mean the Cleyns, John and Francis, and Penelope their sister. They were children of Francesco Cleyn, who is well known as a designer employed by James I. at the Tapestry Manufactory at Mortlake. He was a German, who attracted the notice of our minister at Venice, and 40 BRITISH MINIATURE PAINTERS. was by him recommended to Charles I., then Prince of Wales. Evelyn has described him as "a most pious man, father of two sons who were incom- parable painters in little, and died in London." The Register of Mortlake shows there were several children, of whom Francis was born 1625, and died 1650. According to Redgrave, John also died young. Vertue saw a miniature, by Penelope Cleyn, " like Cooper's manner but not so well," of Dorothea, youngest daughter of Richard Cromwell, February 4, 1618, signed P.C. ; and at Burleigh is a head of Cecil Lord Roos, 1677, with the same letters. But the great collection of miniatures at Kensington in 1865 con- tained not a single example ascribed to the family. The South Kensington Museum possesses an interesting pocket-book of unfinished miniatures, which are ascribed to Cooper, but seem to lack something of his quality, and are possibly by Thomas Flatman (born 1633, died 1688). Flatman was a briefless barrister and seems to have been am- bitious of literary renown ; but Granger says one of his heads is worth a ream of his " Pindarics," and adds " a man must want eyes who can cease to admire his painting." Lord Rochester was severe on him, and calls him — " That slow drudge, Flatman, who Cowley imitates with pains, And rides a jaded muse, whipt with loose reins." Vertue pronounces him equal to Hoskins, and next to Cooper. Whilst he painted in Cooper's style (but using more body colour), he is, at times, far inferior to his eminent contemporary, as is clearly shown by the portrait of himself in the Dyce collection, which may be termed a weak yet heavy imita- tion of Cooper. This is described in the catalogue as the Strawberry Hill miniature, finely painted by himself, which was vilely engraved for Walpole's "Anecdotes"; On the other hand, I possess an example of his work which is so good as to be readily mistaken for a Cooper — at first sight. Another name of first rate importance belongs to this period — ^Jean Petitot, an artist whose reputation alone would cast lustre on the 17th Century in relation to our subject, and might justly be said to "round it off" seeing that he died in 1691 ; but as he is the portrait enameller " par excellence," he must be reserved for another Chapter.

ENAMELS. 5, beautiful Misses Gunning, Mrs. Brooks (whose husband was sometime Director of the Works), Gibbon and others. Good examples may be seen in Lady Charlotte Schreiber's collection at the South Kensington Museum. Finally, there was a Manufactory of Enamel, applied to trinkets and so forth, at Bilston in Staffordshire, established by George Brett, during the latter half of the last century, the products of which resembled those of Battersea, but were more coarsely painted. Further particulars upon this subject will be found in Mr. Chaffers' well-known Work on Pottery and Porcelain, to which the reader may be referred. The mention of this book reminds one of another branch of Portrait Art on a small scale — which, although it may be considered to belong rather to Ceramic Art than to Miniature Painting — is so excellent in its way, that one is reluctant to pass it by without notice. I refer to the Medallion Portraits executed by Josiah Wedgewood. The spirit and delicacy of these is remarkable, as will be readily understood when the intimate connection of John Flaxman with the works at Etruria is remembered. Those interested in the subject will find a number of examples of this branch of art in the South Kensington Museum. In Miss Meteyard's standard work on the Life of Wedgewood, will be found illustrations of Medallions of Mrs. Siddons, Sir Joshua Reynolds, Sir Joseph Bankes, William Pitt, etc., etc. Returning to the origin of Enamel Portraiture, as the term is generally understood, it is somewnat remarkable that the new method arose just as the older and decorative enamelling fell into decay. The credit of the discovery is given to Jean Toutin, a French Goldsmith, who about 1632, produced a variety of colours capable of being laid upon a thin ground of white enamel and of being passed through the furnace with scarcely any change of tint. These opaque colours were applied upon the enamel ground in the same way as water colours are laid on ivory or vellum. Metallic oxides lend themselves to endless combinations with glass, and the palette of an enamel painter is very rich; but all kinds of colours are not equally fusible, hence the artist must be thoroughly acquainted with the precise temperature required, and be able to judge most accurately the length of time that each will stand without melting too much and running into another. It is obvious how greatly the difficulties of portraiture, under such conditions, are enhanced. The method adopted is to place, usually on a gold plate, a thin ground of enamel, then the hardest vitrifiable colour, then the less hard, and so on. When the delicacy of the process and the risk of failure which attends every step are considered, the results attained by Toutin and his pupils are remarkable, and especially in the case of Petitot whose name stands above them all. CHAPTER X. JEAN PETITOT. ^ HAVE already remarked that one of the greatest names in all miniature art is Petitot, and he it was who adapted enamel painting to portraiture with such marvellous success that while some of his portraits are no bigger than a sixpence, yet for clearness of definition of feature, and for beautiful execution, they almost defy criticism. Although the early years of Petitot remain veiled in obscurity, the main outlines of his long and successful career are well known. Dargenville was his first biographer, and M. Henri Bordier published, in 1862, an interesting account compiled from other writers, and enriched from information drawn from fresh docu- mentary sources. The family of Petitot was of French origin. His parents, having adopted the reformed religion, established themselves at Geneva. His father, Paul Petitot, was a wood-carver. It is impossible to say exactly how our artist entered upon his career, or what were its earliest stages. Mariette calls in question, with probable reason, a visit to Italy, of which Dargenville speaks. He thinks that Petitot began by practising the trade of a goldsmith and jeweller. It was the fashion of the time to enrich gems with ornaments painted in enamel, and his occupation enabled him to paint, with great delicacy, flowers, foliated ornamentation, and all that appertained to this sort of work, in which he became very skilful. Petitot betook himself to France, and afterwards to England, where he is supposed to have arrived about 1634 or 1635, being then in his twenty-eighth year. It is thought, although it has never been proved, that he was accompanied by one of his fellow country- men, following the same occupation, named Peter Bordier, who was probably older and more advanced in his art than Petitot. Be that as it may, Petitot xxir. w li ■So' ■&. o S H o s a s JEAN PETITOT. 53 showed the jeweller of Charles I work in enamel which appeared to him very remarkable. The King, a passionate lover of Art and of men of talent, was led to encourage the efforts of the young artist, and assigned him an apart- ment at Whitehall. Petitot was especially protected by a Genevese, Sir Parquet de Mayerne, who was physician to the King, and a celebrated chemist, and afforded valuable assistance in chemical researches and experiments in vitriiication, by which the painter's palette was much enriched and his methods perfected. Moreover Petitot had the advantage of instruction from the King's chief painter, Vandyke, enabling him to render the most delicate subtleties of portrait art, and copies that the enameller made for this great artist's work are esteemed as amongst his most exquisite productions, and marvels of exactness combined with grace and freedom, although reproduced upon a minute scale. Walpole mentions the whole-length of Rachael de Rouvigny, Countess of Southampton, in the collection of the Duke of Devonshire, painted from the original in oil by Vandyke, in the possession of Lord Hardwicke, as " indubit- ably the most capital work in enamel in the world. It is gf in. high by sf in. vnde, and, though the enamel is not perfect in some trifling parts, the execution is the boldest, and the colouring is the most rich and beautiful, that can be imagined ; it is dated 1642." Walpole cites also a portrait of the Duke of Buckingham, which bears the name of the painter, and is dated 1640. M. Reiset, the compiler of the catalogue of the Louvre, to whose memoirs of Petitot I am much indebted, asserts that there are exceptions to the artist's rule of neither signing nor dating his works. In the collection at the Louvre but one example bearing a date is known. There is little doubt that the troublous years of the civil war led Petitot to quit this country and take refuge in France. He is surmised to have arrived in Paris about 1645 ; doubtless his fame preceded him, and he was favourably received by Anne of Austria, Cardinal Mazarin, and by the Court generally. In due time Louis XIV. seems to have extended to the painter the same patronage which his royal brother of England had done, and we find him installed in the Louvre and in receipt of a pension. We have noticed that Peter Bordier accompanied Petitot to England, and it would seem that the former remained here some years after the better-known artist quitted it, since he painted for the Parliament a memorial of the battle of Naseby, which they presented to Fairfax, in the shape of a watch. Walpole purchased it from the collection of Thoresby (who bought it from the executors of the famous Roundhead general), and it is fully de- scribed in the " Anecdotes of Painting." 54 BRITISH MINIATURE PAINTERS. Another Bordier, viz., Jacques, who, according to Mons. Reiset, also worked with Petitot in England, rejoined him in Paris. Jacques Bordier and Petitot married in 1651 the two sisters Marguerite and Madeleine Cuper. Uniting their efforts, they worked together for many years, Bordier devoting himself to the draperies and backgrounds, and Petitot to the faces. This Art-partnership lasted many years — until the death of Bordier in 1684 — and helps to account for the number of portraits attributed to Petitot, whose fame seems to have absorbed that of his fellow-worker. In 1685 the revocation of the Edict of Nantes made Petitot anxious to quit France. Louis seems to have been unwilling to part with him. The King shut him up in Fort I'Eveque and sent Bossuet to convert him. Here, to regain his liberty, " he signed liked the rest," and fled to Geneva in 1687. Despite his venerable age, such was the marvellous power of his vision and the cunning of his hand, that he is said to have been overwhelmed with commissions, and to have retired to Vevey to escape the importunity of his patrons. Here he died in 1691, being carried off by a sudden ill- ness in a day (" as he was painting his wife," says Walpole) ; and it is asserted that the productions of his old age — he lived to be eighty-four — were as perfect as those of his maturity. The fame of Petitot is such as to render any encomium superfluous. As we have seen, his signed works are excessively rare. He is reported to have generally used plates of gold or silver, seldom copper. The name of his imitators is legion. Amongst these may be cited especially Perrault and the engraver, Chatillon. Ferrand is another, he was a pupil of Mignard, and wrote a treatise on the art of Enamel Painting. In naming these, who are all artists of reputation, as imitators of Petitot, I may be misunderstood. Let me add that as they were all his contemporaries, that as they all painted in enamel, especially for snuff-boxes, then so largely used as presents for diplomatic purposes, and as they were all employed by the Court, it cannot be doubted that many of their productions have been assigned to Petitot ; more particularly as their works do not appear to have been signed. In this connection I may also note the following names, viz. : — Madlle. Fanny Charrin, who painted enamels after Petitot, at Sevres, at the end of the eighteenth and the beginning of the nineteenth century. Moise Constantin, enamellist and painter on porcelain, born at Geneva, 1785. He lived at Paris and made copies of Petitot. He was painter to the King, 1826-28.

Dufey, Enamellist, born at Geneva towards the end of the eighteenth century. He came to Paris and made copies after Petitot. Lambert, Enamellist at Geneva, at the end of the eighteenth century, painted copies of Petitot, as did J. G. Soutter, Genevois, eighteenth century, who came to Paris after the union of Geneva to France. Finally, in association with Petitot, may be mentioned Gilles Legarfe, goldsmith to the King, who made the enamel borders for the miniatures, an exquisite example of which may be seen in the wreath of enamelled flowers in relief, which forms the frame of Madame la Comtesse D'Olonne as Diana, and is considered his chef-d'oeuvre. It was formerly in the Strawberry Hill collection, but belongs now, I believe, to Captain Holford. It may be com- pared with the delicate frame, also by Legare, to the portrait of Louis XIV as a young man, which adorns the Jones Collection at Kensington. Petitot had a very large family, eight daughters and nine sons. One of the latter rose to be a major-general in the British army, but only one, his son Jean, evinced anything of his father's talents. Petitot " fils " was born in 1659, settled in England, and was patronised by Charles II. He married Madeleine Bordier, daughter of his father's coadjutor, Jacques Bordier. He died in London, and after his death his family removed to Dublin. His works are not equal in colour, and are inferior to his father's in finish. The present Lord Dartrey, who owns a large number of enamels, possesses portraits of Petitot " fils " and his wife, they were shown at Kensington in 1865, and were inscribed as follows, respectively : — " Petitot, fait par luy mesme d'age de 33 ans 1685." "Petitot a fait ce portrait a Paris en Janvier, 1690, qui est sa femme." The illustrations given are those of the elder artist, one being from a scarce print. We possess at the South Kensington Museum, thanks to the generous bequest of the late Mr. John Jones, a very important collection of these gems of miniature art, and one especially rich in examples by, or attributed to, the elder Petitot, no less than fifty-eight being catalogued as by his hand. Eight of these are portraits of " Le Grand Monarque," and a considerable number of the remainder consist of his favourites and children. Could the history of these be traced probably many sad and curious reverses of fortune would be disclosed. Many of these enamels are set in snuff boxes, some of which are exceedingly valu- able, and probably a large proportion of the remainder have been removed from the lids of snuff-boxes, formerly belonging to Prince Poniatowski, and were bought S6 BRITISH MINIATURE PAINTERS. against the competition of Lord Hertford. Amongst the most beautiful miniatures of the Jones collection may be mentioned the following: — Madame La Valliere, two of the Due de Vendome, Mademoiselle de Blois, Richelieu and Mazarin, Olympia Mancini, Madame de Sevigne, Moliere, La Grande Mademoiselle, Madame de Montespan, Due d'Orleans, Due de Sully, Louis XV., Due de Luxembourg, Anne of Austria, Christine of Sweden, and Marshall Turenne. The examples of the art of Petitot, which I have chosen for illustration, are noteworthy because in all probability they are authentic portraits of very distinguished characters, and they are all exquisitely finished works of the highest quality. They comprise the two Cardinals, Richelieu and Mazarin, who wielded such influence over the destinies of France. The former is upon a lovely chased gold snuff box mounted in jasper, which, once belonging to the King of Saxony, is now the property of the Duke of Beaufort. The piercing eyes, red dress, and white collar of the Cardinal, lend an unsurpassed brilliancy of effect to the original. The Louis XIV. is also upon a snuff box at Badminton ; as is also the Madame de Maintenon, mounted on an exquisite box of orange and white enamel and gold. The Mazarin comes from Castle Howard, being part of the famous collection of the Earl of Carlisle. Not less interesting are the portraits of the Stuarts, of which Charles L is now in the possession of the Baroness Burdett-Coutts. It was at Strawberry Hill, and is thus described by Walpole : — "I have a fine head of Charles I. for which probably he sat, as it is not Uke any I have seen by Vandyke." " My portrait came from one of his (Petitot's) sons, who was a Major in our Service, and died a Major-General at North Allerton, 1764." — H.W. It is instructive to compare this with the Hoskins at Windsor, of which I have already spoken, and given an illustration. The James II., also from Strawberry Hill, has a history of its own, which will be found in the chapter on Collectors and Collections. The charming miniature of Charles II. which was another of Walpole's treasures, is now in the possession of the Baroness, and is still in the original blue enamel case, with a crown and C. R. on the lid. The portrait of the Duchesse de la Valliere is a brilliant and delightful example, and last, but not least, of these treasures from Twickenham now in Piccadilly, is the beautiful and ill-fated Henriette, " La belle Henriette." Her career may be thus briefly summarised. The youngest daughter of Charles the First, she was born 1644 at Exeter ; when 14 days old, she was entrusted to the care of Anne, Countess of Morton. She married Philip, Due D'0rl6ans, Brother of Louis XIV in 1660, and came to Dover in 1670 (much against her husband's wish) on a political mission from Louis to Charles II. A few weeks after her return she died in great agony — poisoned, it is said by her husband. Her death was the subject of, perhaps, the finest of Bossuet's "Oraisons funebres." " A very large and capital one, exquisitely laboured," is Walpole's comment on this work. XXVL Petitot. J})> himself. Louis XIV. Petitot. Duke of Beaufort. Cardinal Mazarin. Fetitoi.

The large majority of the portraits that he painted were those of foreigners, and in the Louvre Collection, I do not observe a single work bearing an English name. A few words about the Collection of Enamels which the Louvre possesses may not be out of place, as it has long been a celebrated one. It was formed originally by M. Desveux and then came into the hands of M. D'Ennery, a famous connoisseur. On the death of the latter, in 1786, the Enamels were acquired for Louis XVL, at a cost of seventy-two thousand livres and became the property of the nation during the Revolution. ^M ^S ^ Hk'^^ ^^^Kr^'in^^!^^B ^B ™M^ ^^Ol [^^1 CHAPTER XI. MINOR ENAMELLERS. JHE number of enamellers who have attained celebrity in this country is small ; and, in some respects, it would be convenient to treat of them in their due chronological order, and with their fellow artists. From the fact that many of them devoted themselves to this dif&cult art, so that, as in the case of H. Bone, for example, they are known as enamellists; and, especially, as its practice may be said to have died out, I shall supplement the sketch I have drawn of the history of the art, and the account given of Jean Petitot, by some particulars of the men who painted in enamel, for the sake of grouping together, what there was to say about the art itself and its professors. Doubtless the inherent difficulties attending the manipulation of the art have been great deterrents. For we must bear in mind that not only is the painter restricted to colours prepared from metallic oxides, but from the heat to which enamels are subjected in the frequent " firings " necessary, great risks are always incurred, and the chances of failure are manifold. There is no such thing as painting-out; alteration is only possible by a tedious process of grinding away, and should blemishes occur, they can only be removed by great labour and further trial of patience. These considerations help to explain the large sums which have been paid for enamels, instances of which will be found further on. Nevertheless, there are some distinguished enamellers who have practised their well-nigh imperishable art in England, and I propose to mention them here. Amongst them Charles Boit holds a prominent place. He was of French extraction, but born in Stockholm. He came early to this country, and worked as a jeweller. Failing in that branch of business, he tried teaching drawing, and Walpole tells a story of an intrigue with the daughter of a general officer, leading to Bolt's being thrown into prison for two years, which he seems to have XXVII Madame de Maintcnon.

What is certain is, that he afterwards obtained very high prices for his work. In one case he is said to have had £1,000 advanced on a large plate intended for the Queen (Anne). But as he wasted ;^70O or ;f8oo in trying to fire it, one is not surprised to find that he got into difficulties, to escape which he fled to France, where he died about 1726. There is a large piece by Boit at Oxford, which will be found described in my notes on collections, at the end of the volume. Boit was the master of Frederic Peterson. Another of his pupils, C. F. Zincke, is probably more generally known. His face and figure are familiar to print collectors from the mezzotint by J. Faber, Jun., after H. Hysing, repre- senting him and his wife, he holding a crayon and she a miniature {vide illustration). Zincke was the son of a goldsmith, and was born in Dresden in 1684. He came to England in 1706, and was patronised by George H. The Prince of Wales appointed him his cabinet painter. His portraits are numerous, and display all the glories of the full-bottomed wig of the period, for he was the fashionable painter of the day, and is said to have advanced his prices from 20 to 30 guineas, to limit the number of his sitters. His colouring is brilliant, and his works have a " spic and span look," not altogether pleasing to a critical eye ; moreover, there is great sameness in them, and they are marred by the formal character of the art of his time, which bears the strong impress of the pernicious influence of Kneller. The fashion set at this period in matters of portraiture is clearly shewn by the well-known anecdote told of Ellis, a pupil of Kneller's, who, being invited to see some of Reynolds' work, after Sir Joshua returned from Italy, remonstrated with the painter who had dared to think for himself, declaring " it would never do," " For," said he, " You don't paint in the least like Sir Godfrey." And, when the future president attempted to justify his departure from conventionalism, Ellis exclaimed, " Shakspere in poetry, and Kneller in painting, damme," and swung out of the room. Zincke died at Lambeth, 24th of March, 1767, having ceased painting 20 years before, in consequence of failing sight. His wife, Elizabeth, survived him some five years. William Prewett was a pupil of Zincke, as was Jeremiah Meyer, of whom more hereafter. Andre Rouquet, born at Geneva, of French extraction, was an imitator of Zincke, and practised successfully in England some thirty years. George Michael Moser, first Keeper of the Royal Academy and one of its most active founders, was a fine metal chaser and medallist, and especially excelled in enamel. He was the son of a sculptor, and was born at St. Gall in 1704. Coming to England he was employed by the Royal Family, and designed the King's great seal. He enjoyed the respect and -«o BRITISH MINIATURE PAINTERS. friendship of men " whose names are well-known in the world " says Sir Joshua Reynolds, who wrote his obituary notice in eulogistic terms. He died January 23rd, 1783, aged 78. His daughter Mary (afterwards Mrs. Lloyd) painted flowers very sweetly. Her cousin, Joseph Moser, was an exhibitor at the Academy from 1774 to 1782, chiefly of enamel heads from the antique, for jewellery. He afterwards became a police magistrate. Another foreigner, like Rouquet and the Mosers, of Swiss birth, was Jean Etienne LlOTARD. Born at Geneva in 1702, he quitted a merchant's desk to study art in Paris. In 1738 he went to Rome in the company of the Neapolitan Ambassador. There he met with Lord Bessborough and some other young English aristocrats with whom he went to Constantinople. This led to his adopting the Oriental dress, like Lady Wortley Montague, of whose portrait thus attired — now in the possession of the Portarlington family — I give an illustration. This eccentricity of costume was no doubt an advertisement in its way, and when he revisited Paris he was known as Le Turc. Some years later we find this cosmopolitan artist at Vienna, when Maria Theresa sat to him, as did the Emperor Joseph XL Visiting London he painted the Princess of Wales and her sons. After various wanderings on the Continent, Liotard married a Dutch wife and settled at his birthplace, Geneva, where he died on the eve of the French Revolution in 1790. His best works are generally considered to be in pastel. Walpole says " his like- nesses were exact as possible, and too like to please those who sat to him ; " " devoid of imagination, he could render nothing but what was before his eyes. . . . Truth prevailed in all his works, grace in very few or none. Thus he had great business the first year and very little the second." Another critic, following Redgrave, calls him an " erratic meteor " and says " he succeeded here so well as to make Reynolds look to his laurels." Sir Joshua appears to have thought him little better than a Charlatan ; but his estimate of his rival, if Liotard deserves such a title, may be given in his own words. " The only merit," says Reynolds, " in Liotard's pictures is neatness, which as a general rule, is the characteristic of a low genius, or rather, no genius at all. His pictures are just what ladies do when they paint for amusement," and so on. Others of his contemporaries however gave him credit for an extraordinary power of seizing and expressing the character of a face. His works do not seem to be numerous in this country but a few were shewn at Kensington in 1863. There are, I believe, more in Ireland, and the Amsterdam Museum has been enriched of recent years by several works bequeathed by descendants. His abilities are probably better appreciated on the Continent, and a work has lately appeared, the joint production of the late Professor Humbert, Mons. A. Revilliod of Geneva, and Professor Tilanus of Amsterdam, which fully vindicates his powers, and. XXVIII.

This opinion will probably be shared by those who have seen " la dame aux dentelles " at Amsterdam ; or the Madme. d'Epinay at Geneva ; or la Chocolatiere at Dresden, hackneyed though the last has become, — or the delightful " La liseuse," a young girl reading — a picture which perhaps more than any other of Liotard's recalls Sir Joshua. At the family seat of the Bessboroughs in Ireland, the patron and travelling companion of the artist formerly possessed something like a hundred examples. Most of these have now disappeared, but I learn, upon the authority of a connoisseur and a member of the family, that there still remains a work of the greatest charm, viz., " Le Petit Dejeuner," a young lady seated at table alone, vvhich is most pleasing in colour, and full of simplicity and unaffected sweetness. Nathaniel Hone is another merchant's son who achieved distinction as an enameller, and practised other branches of art with more or less success. He was born in Dublin in the year 1718. Coming to England at an early age, he followed his profession in various parts of the country, and, settling in London, became a member of the " Incorporated Society of Artists," and one of the founders of the Royal Academy. The diploma gallery, at Burlington House, contains his portrait, in a large black hat, by himself; he also figures in Zoffany's well-known picture, in the Royal collection, of the early academicians. The portrait here given is by Hysing, and was engraved by E. Fisher. The story of Nathaniel Hone's squabble with the Royal Academy arising out of a picture, which he painted, called the Conjuror, is one frequently referred to in any accounts of this artist. It was, no doubt, a choice bit of scandal in its day — "a very pretty quarrel as it stood." Much of its piquancy arose from the fact that Sir Joshua Reynolds and Miss Angelica Kauffmann were said to be satirized in the picture, and that one of the naked figures, dancing in the background, was said to be intended for the fair Academician, who was so popular, and whose story has been so charmingly told by Miss Thackeray in her work called " Miss Angel." Hone protested that the figures were intended for the male sex. He waited twice on Angelica, but was refused admission. Then he received, as he says, to his astonishment, a request to remove the picture, and he subsequently made an affidavit that " he never introduced, or intended to introduce, any figure reflecting on Mrs. Angelica Kauffmann." It is difficult to pronounce on the merits of the case, but Hone greatly resented the "false reports" as he terms them, and exhibited the picture with many others at 70, St. Martin's Lane. I have been able, through the kindness of my friend, Mr. G. L. Gomme, F.S.A., to refer to the rare catalogue of this collection. From a 62 BRITISH MINIATURE PAINTERS. contemporary's letter I found appended to it, I am able to give the following description of the offending picture : — No. 55. " Aged man with a beard in a crimson robe ... in his right hand, a hand pointing downwards to a fire from which are seen issuing about twelve or fourteen paintings of different subjects, chiefly of the human figure. In the left, an open book .... a child with her arm folded leans on his knee, behind is a globe with an owl standing near it, on the top of the painting a view of St. Paul's, with six naked figures dancing, one in particular with a cocked hat and jack boots." The sixty other works which he exhibited are unnamed, with the exception of the following: — 11 Signora Zamperini in the character of Cechina at Spring Gardens, 1768. 16 The Tripoline Ambassador, 1770 at the R. A. 17 A portrait of Mrs. Hone's mother in her 8oth year. 46 Mrs. Hone's portrait in the dress of Henry VHI. The rest are of a very mixed character, e.g. " Diogenes looking for an honest man, in the exhibition at Spring Gardens, 1768. David when a shepherd. Portrait of a sheep bleating within the rails. Two spaniels. Copies from Claude and Salvator Rosa," &c., &c.; these, however interesting in their way, have clearly not much to do with the subject of this work. Hone had a share of Royal patronage, and painted the lovely Misses Gunning and other fashionables of his day. He died in 1784. He had a grandson, Horace Hone, of whom some particulars will be found in chap. xii. John Plott is mentioned as an assistant to the elder Hone. Samuel Cotes was one of the earliest exhibitors of enamels at the Royal Academy. He was a brother of Francis Cotes, R.A. Both forsook physic for painting, being the sons of a native of Galway who practised as an apothecary in Cork Street, Burlington Gardens. Samuel Cotes did some good work in crayons, but his reputation rests chiefly upon his enamels. He died in Chelsea 1818, aged 84. Like Michael Moser, Jeremiah Meyer was, as already mentioned, a pupil of Zincke and, according to Redgrave, his father (who brought him from his native place, Tubingen, in Wurtemberg, to London when he was 14) paid ;f200 to Zincke for 2 years pupilage. In 1761 he gained the Society of Arts premium for a profile of the King to be used for a die. This doubtless had something to do with his appointment, when only 29, as enameller to George III. and miniature painter to the Queen. He was a constant exhibitor at the Academy, of which he was one of the found- ation members up to 1783, six years after which he died at Kew whither he had retired. His miniatures are greatly and justly admired ; alike excellent in drawing and finish, true to life, and marked by refinement of colour, all of which encomiums may be said to be justified by the delight- ful example I am able to shev/ from Castle Howard, of Margaret Leveson 4 Co J5 O o U o ^r 62 BRITISH MINIATURE PAIN •n of the t crimson rob m his fc f,- " ■ > a child with hr owl star ' ■I lowing d in a fire ncrent vith an six ts." .of at Spring A. 17 A •■■■—■r-^h in •g- ns, 1 when s Gunning and other .

Meyer's portrait is from a very scarce mezzotint engraved by Pether after Dance. His style is said to have been much influenced by the work of Reynolds. His pupil, Richard Collins, succeeded Meyer in the post of enamel painter to the King in 1787. He enjoys the reputation of being a first-rate artist, and probably had good share of the fashionable patronage of his day, having acquired a competence by his 50th year, when he retired into Worcestershire. But it is somewhat remarkable that most of his works are not known ; and that he had not a single example ascribed to him at Kensington amongst the thousands of miniatures shewn there in 1865. Then we come to the Hurters, two more Swiss enamellers. John Henry Hurter was born at Schaffhausen, 1734. I. F. C. Hurter is believed to be his brother. Lord Dartrey introduced them to this country, and gave them employment. Some thirty enamels by J. H. Hurter, and nearly as many by I. F. C. Hurter, were shewn by the then Lord Cremorne at Kensington. These were copies and family portraits. Lord Spencer and the Shaftesbury family possess other examples. The Althorp enamel is a portrait of the beautiful Duchess of Devonshire. Henry Bone, like many another artist, came from the West of England, having been born at Truro in 1755. He was apprenticed in a china manufactory at Plymouth, and removing with it to Bristol in 1778, afterwards came to London, and found employment in painting devices in enamel on lockets and trinkets. This fashion changing, he tried miniatures in water colours, and in 1780 he exhibited an enamel of the " sleeping girl," after Reynolds, at the Academy; this attracted such attention that he was employed by the Prince of Wales, and was appointed enamel painter to Royalty. He was made A.R.A. in 1801, and attained full honours 1811. In 1810 he ventured on a noble plaque measuring 18 by 15, it is a copy of the Bacchus Ariadne, by Titian, in the National Gallery. It was bought by Mr. Bowles, of Wanstead, for two thousand guineas. He executed a series of 85 copies of portraits of the great men of Elizabeth's reign. He copied also many of the works of Raphael, Titian, and Murillo. In his later days his eyesight failed, and he was compelled to receive the pension of the Royal Academy. He died in 1834. Henry Pierce Bone, his son, painted in oils for many years, and when the father's powers failed, the younger Bone took up enamel painting, which he practised from 1833 to 1855, when he died. He exhibited a few subject pictures and many copies from the old masters. W. Bone and C. R. Bone, grandsons of Henry Bone, also followed the art, whilst a P. J. Bone exhibited 64 BRITISH MINIATURE PAINTERS. an enamel at the Royal Academy in 1801. I show a copy of a portrait of Mary Queen of Scots, by Sir Antonio More, owned by the Baroness Burdett- Coutts, the work of W. Bone. A striking illustration of self-help may be found in the career of Gervase or Jarvis Spencer, who began life as a gentleman's servant, and became one of the fashionable painters of his day. He exhibited enamel portraits with the Society of Artists in 1762, and " Reynolds painted him," says Redgrave, though this is not mentioned in Leslie and Taylor's Life of Sir Joshua. The British Museum print-room possesses some slight portrait etchings by him. He died in 1763. Henry Spicer was a pupil of Spencer's, and was secretary to the Incorporated Society of Artists. In 1795 he was appointed enamel painter to the Prince of Wales. He was an exhibitor at the Royal Academy for 20 years. His works bear the impress of truth in respect of likeness. He died 1804, aged 61. Belonging to this period is Charles Muss, of Italian extraction, born at Newcastle 1779. He painted large enamels for George III., and George IV made him his enamel painter, giving him £1,500 for a Holy family, after Parmigiano, on a plaque 15 by 12. He died in 1824. There is a stained glass window by him at St. Bride's, Fleet Street. The last enamellers of eminence to be named are William Essex, and William B. Essex, his son. The latter died at Birmingham in 1852. The former exhibited as late as 1862. The elder Essex was born in 1784, and exhibited a "dog's head" in the academy of 1818, and some animals the two following years, animal painting being his " forte," though he also painted enamels from the life. The Queen gave him much employment, appointing him her enamel painter in 1839. His draughtsmanship was good, and his works are greatly admired. Examples of his skill may be seen at the South Kensington Museum. o g o en O o t H o o O fq o 3 64 BRITISH MINI/ PAINT^S - & an enamel at the Royal ^r'-t'-^-.y Mary Queen of Scots, %■ Coutts, the work of \' A striking ' More, owned ^ -v 5 :p may be found ;^? : portrait of Burdett- or Ja; of '^ cT of Gervase V e. one. ^■.._, . ..^ ^;...

FROM THE DEATH OF COOPER DOWN TO THE FIRST HALF OF THE EIGHTEENTH CENTURY, OR THEREABOUTS. >AVING thus dealt with the first division of the subject which has brought us to the end of the 17th century, let us see what names demand our attention during the first part of the i8th century, before what may be termed the renaissance of art in this country which followed the accession of George the third. We have now come to the Periwig period, when Kneller reigned supreme. It is remarkable that whilst in Literature, as we all know, this age was so brilliant as to be termed " Augustan " ; in Art the reverse is the case. Mr. Wornum has given reasons for this anomaly. He says : — " A single century effected a decline in the art of painting in this country, which can be truly ascertained by comparison only — in History, from Rubens to Thornhill — in Portrait, from Vandyck to Gervas. The cause cannot be fairly attributed to the want of competent reward, for sums of money were paid for allegories upon ceilings and staircases, and for portraits, in the reigns of Queen Anne and her successor, equivalent to any that were received by the pre- decessors of these inferior painters. But, in fact, the art itself was not so well understood, or so scientifically or perfectly practised. The knowledge of its principles was possessed by very few who did practise it, and a taste prevailed among the noble and opulent individuals in society, to collect the works of foreign masters, rather than to encourage those of our own nation. Their ambition to excel in the higher branches of art was chilled and checked by invidious comparison." But if the first half of the last century was so barren in art, the latter half made noble amends. Side by side with the work of Hogarth, Reynolds, Gainsborough, and the rest who have earned imperishable renown for the English school, was produced some admirable miniature painting, which we shall come to by-and-bye. For the present we have to discover the most 66 BRITISH MINIATURE PAINTERS. noteworthy limners of our second period ; that is to say, from the death of Cooper to the reign of the third George. I propose to adopt the same method as was followed in the last chapter, viz., to arrange them in alphabetical order and to append a few particulars of the career and style of each. Jacques Antoine Arlaud, a Genevese, born 1688, some say in 1668, worked at Dijon for the jewellers, then went to Paris where he was patronised by the Duke of Orleans, and gained so much reputation as to be reckoned one of the first artists of his day. In 1721 he came to London and painted the Princess of Wales, afterwards Queen Caroline, returned to Paris, and having amassed wealth, died at Geneva 1743, or 1746. " His numerous portraits are well drawn, and carefully finished, good in colour, and the costumes well painted." He also painted historical subjects. Benedict Arlaud, brother of J. A. Arlaud, was born in Geneva, practised in Amsterdam and also in London, where he died in 1719. Mary Beale, born in Suffolk, 1632, painted miniature portraits in oils, also worked in water-colours and crayons, was much supported by Clergy. There is a Charles II. by her in the National Portrait Gallery, and an Archbishop Tillotson at Lambeth. According to Redgrave, her portraits are " weakly painted, wanting in expression and finish, hands without drawing, and colour disagreeable." She was, in her day, reputed a poet as well as a painter. She died in 1697, and was buried under the Communion table in St. James's Church, Piccadilly. Samuel Collins, born at Bristol, son of a clergyman, educated as an attorney, practised as a miniaturist at Bath in the middle of the i8th century, where Ozias Humphrey was articled to him. He painted both ivories and enamels, and enjoyed a high reputation in Dublin, where he went in 1762. He does not appear to have ever exhibited at the Royal Academy. Lewis Crosse, (not to be confounded with Richard Crosse, who flourished at least a generation later), did some good work in the days of Queen Anne, and painted many of the distinguished people of his time. He is said to have excelled in small water colour copies of old masters. Two years before his death, which occurred in 1724, a valuable collection he had formed of the works of the early miniaturists was sold. One of these, a HiUiard, formed part of the Hamilton Palace sale at Christie's, in 1882, and realised over a hundred guineas. John Dixon was a pupil of Lely ; his best works were Nymphs and Satyrs, &c., in water colour. He also drew in Crayons. William of Orange made him "keeper of the King's picture closet." He became concerned in 1698 with a bubble lottery, in which Walpole tells us " Queen XXXI. Ozias Humphrey, R.A. A/ier G. Romitcy. FIRST HALF OF THE EIGHTEENTH CENIURY. 67 Anne, then Princess, was an adventurer, this affair turned out ill," and Dixon, falling into debt, removed to Thwaite, near Bungay, where he had a small estate, and where he died. Nathaniel Dixon, miniature painter. There were no less than eleven miniatures by Nathaniel Dixon shewn at the Royal Academy Winter Exhibition, 1879, viz., Monk, Duke of Albemarle; Madame Hughes; Moll Davis ; portrait of a lady ; Sarah Jennings, Duchess of Marlborough ; two portraits of a lady, signed N.D. (connected) ; Miss Brooke (2) ; Mrs. Claypole ; Robert Spencer, second Earl of Sunderland, signed in the same way. These all belonged to the Buccleuch collection, and show the period at which the painter flourished, but I am unable to glean any further particulars of him. Redgrave does not mention him. James Deacon, miniature painter, died from goal fever caught whilst attending as a witness at the Old Bailey. He had great talent both for music and drawing. The print-room, British Museum, has miniature portraits by him, well-drawn and tinted with Indian ink, elaborately careful, full of expression and character — " the faces only finished," says Redgrave. He lived at one time in Zincke's house in Covent Garden. William De Keisar, a miniature painter, was born at Antwerp, died at the age of 45, "four or five years after the Revolution," says Walpole, who relates that he was bred a jeweller, came to England with letters of recom- mendation to Lord Melfort, then in favour with King James. The Duke of Buccleuch has an enamel of James II. by him. After the Revolution his employment failed, and he devoted himself to the pursuit of the Philosopher's stone, and was ruined. His daughter followed her father's profession, but marrying a Mr. Humble, her husband made her abandon it. Fancati, an Italian who copied with a pen the portraits of James II. and his Queen from the picture by Kneller, " highly laboured," says Walpole. According to Dr. Propert, "he attained considerable reputation," but I am unable to give further particulars about him. Theodore Gardelle born at Geneva 1722. He was apprenticed to an engraver, studied in Paris and Brussels, came to London about 1759, and practised as a miniature painter. Two years after was convicted of the murder of his landlady, and executed in the Haymarket. Louis Goupy was a nephew, and probably a pupil of B. Lens. He practised in London early in the i8th century and painted some clever miniatures. He was also a good copyist. Joseph Goupy was born at Nevers in France, and died in London, was a relative of Louis Goupy, and became a fashionable drawing master. He taught Frederick, Prince of Wales, and George III. He was also an etcher of some ability. His small figure subjects in body colours are said to have great merit. .68 BRITISH MINIATURE PAINTERS. Bernard Goupy, brother of Joseph Goupy, practised in London about the same period, and was a clever miniature painter. Sarah Curtis (Mrs. Hoadley) was a pupil of Mrs. Beale. Redgrave terms her art "weak, heavy in expression and colour." Upon her marriage with Dr. Hoadley, who afterwards became Bishop of Winchester, she ceased to follow her occupation as artist. William Prewitt was a pupil of Zincke, and worked in London in the middle of the i8th century. His enamels are reputed to be brilliant in colour, and to possess much merit. The South Kensington Museum owns a full length group by him, signed Prewitt Pinxit ; and two water colour drawings on a considerable scale of James, Duke of York, and another, signed W. P., which I assume to be by him, are in the Jones' collection. Christian Richter was the son of a silversmith at Stockholm, and came to England 1702, where he studied under Dahl and painted in oil, but is best known by his miniatures. Walpole had one by him of Cibber the Statuary. He also essayed enamel painting, but without attaining much proficiency. He died at the age of 50. Sir Robert Strange was born at Pomona, Orkney, and died in London, he was intended for the law, but showing talent for drawing, was apprenticed to R. Cooper, an engraver in Edinburgh. Strange was in business in that city when it was occupied by the Young Pretender in 1745. He joined the Jacobite side, and is said to have been at the Battle of Culloden, and to have escaped to Paris, where he studied under Le Bas. In 1751 he returned to London, and was recognised as an engraver of great eminence. Giving offence at Court, he spent several years abroad, studying in Paris and in Rome. He was knighted in 1787. As a line engraver he occupies the highest rank, but he also executed miniatures of the Stuart family, which were shewn at Kensington in 1865 ; and at Burlington House in 1879 there was a miniature of the Young Pretender, signed R. S. Luke Sullivan, born at Louth and died in London, is said to have been the son of one of the Dukes of Beaufort's grooms, and to have been employed in a stable, coming to London about 1750. He was a pupil of Thomas Major the engraver, and became assistant to Hogarth, whose " March to Finchley " he engraved. He also painted views and excelled in miniatures, especially of females. He painted Mrs. Garrick in 1761, and exhibited from 1764 to 1770 with the Incorporated Society, of which he was a director. He was very dissipated in habits. George Vertue can hardly be reckoned as a miniature painter, but his valuable services in connection with the history of the art, and his copies, his engraved portraits, and so forth, entitle his to be mentioned in AXXII.

Though a Romanist, he was buried in the cloisters of Westminster, where there is a tablet to his memory. Thomas Worlidge, born in 1700, saw three Georges on the Throne. He first painted at Bath, drawing miniature portraits with pencil on vellum. He tried oils without success, and then applied himself to drawing and etching, and his etchings ultimately became fashionable. Lord Portarlington has a miniature of this artist as Rembrandt painted by himself. He died at Hammersmith. His wife was a noted beauty, the daughter of a toyman at Bath. I shall make mention of Hogarth in this chapter because he belongs to the reign of George H. rather than to that of George III. He is not usually reckoned a miniature painter at all, though the delicacy of some of the heads in his groups, or " conversation pieces " as they were called, show his powers in this direction. Fortunately he apphed his brush to subject compositions which have secured for him lasting fame. I am aware of only two miniatures ascribed to Hogarth, one of Sir R. Walpole shewn in the " Old Masters " 1879, belonging to Alfred Morrison, Esq. : and the very interesting portrait of Handel, of which I give an illustration, belonging to Lord Carlisle. Like some other families of artists to whom reference has been made in these pages, considerable obscurity exists with regard to the Lens. There was a Bernard Lens, an engraver, born in London in 1659 who died 1725. He was the son of an enamel painter (also a Bernard Lens), of Nether- landish origin, who did not attain much excellence, and little is known of him beyond that he was born in 1631 and died in 1708, and was buried at St. Bride's. The third and best known Bernard Lens, was born in London in 1680 or 1682. He was the son and pupil of the engraver, arid was appointed enameller and miniature painter to George H. He held the appointment of drawing master to Christ's Hospital, and gave lessons to the aristocracy, Horace Walpole among the number. He is reported to have excelled in water-colour copies from the great masters, and, like his father, was a mezzotinter. He died in 1740. Of his three sons, two followed his profession, and Andrew Benjamin Lens is probably one of those ; while Peter Paul Lens may have been the other son of Bernard. He was practising in London in 1747, and exhibited miniatures at the Incorporated Society of Artists, 1765 to 1770. It may be noted that the similarity of the signature, interlaced initials, has led to confusion with Lawrence Cross and Sir Peter Lely. The University Galleries, Oxford, possess a very interesting portrait of B. Lens, the drawing master, by himself; which is described amongst notes on "Collections and Collectors" in chapter xvi. •70 BRITISH MINIATURE PAINTERS. Horace Hone was a son of Camilla, youngest son of Nathaniel Hone, he practised occasionally in enamels, but principally in miniatures, which he exhibited in the Academy for many years. In 1779 he was elected an associate of the Academy, and later, going to Dublin, he achieved great success, and in 1795 he was appointed miniature painter to the Prince of Wales. After the Union, he returned to London, where he commanded a large practice, but though many of his works are engraved, he appears never to have achieved the reputation of his grandfather. Margaret, Countess of Lucan was an amateur, well-known as a clever copyist of the early miniature painters — Hoskins, the Olivers, and S. Cooper. She also painted some good original miniatures, low in colour, with lands- cape backgrounds, well introduced. Peter Pindar warns Walpole, who flattered her, thus: " Ah ! don't endeavour thus to dupe her. By swearing that she equals Cooper." Mrs. Mee, eldest daughter of John Foldsone, an artist who died young. She was deemed clever as a musician, poetess, and painter. She must have commenced miniature painting when very young, to assist her family. Miss Berry says she had a mother and eight brothers and sisters to support. George IV., when Prince of Wales, gave her many commissions and there are a number of her works at Windsor. She exhibited at the Royal Academy from 1804 to 1837, when she retired from practice. James Nixon, A.R.A. died at Tiverton, he was a member of the Incor- porated Society of Artists, and one of the first students of the Royal Academy. He first exhibited in 1765, was made A.R.A. in 1778, and exhibited up to 1807 at the Royal Academy, the Society of Artists, and British Institution. He attained much excellence in his art, painting actresses and others, in character. He was limner to the Prince Regent and Duke of York, he also designed some illustrations to books, and some of his works are engraved. I give an example belonging to Canon Ruggles Flint. Miss Frances Reynolds, an amateur, was born at Plymouth, and died in London, was sister to Sir Joshua whose house she kept, and whose pictures she copied in a way which Northcote says " were an exact imitation of all his defects, making everybody else laugh, and Sir Joshua cry." In 1758 Dr. Johnson records sitting to her perhaps for the tenth time for his portrait in oils, which, it seems, he did not like, and Goldsmith offended her by telling her she loved pictures better than she understood them. Charles Sheriff first practised in Edinburgh, coming to London, he exhibited at the Royal Academy from 1770 to 1831. Mrs. Siddons speaks of him as " more successful in her portrait than any miniature painter she had XXXIIL Jeremiah Meyer, R.A. After Dance. Nathaniel Hone, R.A. Emilia, Duchess of Leinster.

He was deaf and dumb. William Wood practised in London and was distinguished for his correct drawing, taste and harmony of colour. He exhibited at the Royal Academy from 1788 to 1807, and also at the British Institution, and was president of the short-lived Society of Artists. He improved, says Redgrave, the stability of colours on ivory. CHAPTER XIII. FROM THE MIDDLE OF THE EIGHTEENTH CENTURY ONWARDS. RESIDES the enamellers Moser and Meyer, and in a much lesser degree N. Hone, all of whom I have already mentioned, there are several miniature painters proper of great excellence, whose works shed lustre upon the last quarter of the i8th century. I allude to Samuel Shelley, to George Engleheart, to John Smart, and to Ozias Humphrey, R.A. ; above all, to Richard Cosway, but he must be dealt with apart. Of the rest, the most distinguished and the earliest in point of date is the last-named. Humphrey, was born in 1742, and died in 1810. His career was a varied one. He came from Devonshire, having been born at Honiton, and according to Redgrave, was the representative of the ancient family of Homfrey mentioned by Holinshed. By the advice of Sir Joshua Reynolds, he studied at the St. Martin's Lane School, and the Duke of Richmond's Gallery. After his father's death, some two years later, he returned home, and was placed under Samuel Collins, the miniature painter, at Bath, where he lodged with Linley the musician, whose daughter, then a mere child, used to sing to him. She afterwards married Sheridan, as all the world knows, and was the beautiful original of Reynolds' St. Cecilia. Collins got into difficulties and fled to Dublin, where he enjoyed much repute. In 1764 young Humphrey removed to London, and settled in King Street, Covent Garden, not far from his patron. Sir Joshua. Two years later a contribution by him to the Spring Gardens Rooms, was purchased by George III., who commissioned him to paint the Queen and Royal family. In 1773 he went to Italy with Romney, and there remained four years. On his return to London he essayed the higher walks of art, painted in oils, and exhibited whole lengths at the Academy, but without much success. In 1785 he determined to go to India, where he visited the native Courts and amassed some money. His health failing, he returned to London once more in 1788, and, resuming his profession, was made a full member of the Academy XXX I r. I.ady Mary Wortley Montague. S. Liolard. Portrait of a Lady. Lord Tweedmouth. Earl of Portarlington. FROM THE MIDDLE OF THE i8th CENTURY ONWARDS. 73 in 1791. His labours at Knole, in executing a number of miniatures from paintings for the Duke of Dorset, affected his eyesight. He then took up crayons, was appointed painter in crayons to the King, and exhibited frequently at the Academy up to 1797, when his sight entirely failed. He died in 1810, aged 67. The portrait of himself is reduced from a very fine mezzotint by Valentine Green after G. Romney. His works are highly finished and full of quality, sweet in colour and well drawn. I give illustrations of them : one from the Royal collection at Windsor, a copy of Gainsborough's picture of Queen Charlotte when young. Caroline of Anspach is another pleasing and undoubted example. A work which fascinates alike from its intrinsic merit, and the interest which attaches to the original, is the portrait of Mrs. Crewe in a masquerade dress, holding a distaff; it is the property of the Earl of Crewe. The attractions of Mrs. Crewe are thus well summarised in Leslie and Taylor's Life of Sir Joshua Reynolds. "The daughter of Fulke Greville, was noted for her amiability and fascination, as well as her Opposition principles. By-and- bye she grew to be the Whig toast — not inferior in charm, or in the staunchness of her political attachments, to the famous Duchess of Devonshire herself. Like her, she did not shrink from exerting her charms to witch butchers and bakers out of votes for Fox at the Westminster elections. Amiable, pure, and good as she was beautiful, Mrs. Crewe was the fast friend of Reynolds, as of Burke, Fox, and Sheridan. She cheered the later years of the former, and the two latter wrote verses in her honour." In several respects John Smart resembled Ozias Humphrey. He was born at Norwich about the same time — 1740 or 1741, and died in Russell Place, Bloomsbury, two years later than the Devonshire artist. Like Humphrey, he was a fashionable miniaturist of his day, and he also went to India where he met with much success in his sojourn of five years. His visit to India, probably led to the painting of Lord Clive and of Margaret Maskelyne, his wife, two fine examples, dated 1774 and 1770 respectively, which, by the courtesy of the Earl of Powis, I am able to reproduce. By the way, works which he painted in India may be distinguished by the letter I, added after his usual signature. His genius probably developed early, as he gained the premium of the Society of Arts for chalk drawing in 1755 when only 14 or 15. He became a pupil of Daniel Dodd and a student at Shipley's, which, no doubt, led to his friendship with Cosway, who alludes to him in letters as "little John," "good little John," "faithful John," and so forth. Smart contributed to the exhibitions of the Incorporated Society of Artists for over 20 years (1762-83) and was made a vice-president in 1778. He first exhibited at the Academy in 1784. Smart had a son, also named John, who was an occasional exhibitor at the Royal Academy. He went 74 BRITISH MINIATURE PAINTERS. to India in 1808, and died the following year. It has been remarked that Smart is one of the few artists whom Cosway commends, though he terms him " slow and a bit washy." ! Slow he might have been, miniatures are not to be painted with a palette knife, especially when of such exquisite finish as characterised Smart's work. But as to the "washiness," that surely must have been Cosway's fun or folly, for we know he talked great nonsense sometimes ; as a matter of fact Smart's miniatures are marked by extremely fine quality and lovely colour ; often they have almost the effect of enamels. This may be noted as one of the marked peculiarities of his style. I have in my possession a miniature by him which one almost instinctively takes to be an enamel, such is the extraordinary smoothness of the finish. As to the vivacity and vigour of his portraits, the Sarah Tyssen, which I reproduce, may serve as an example. George Engleheart exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1773. In 1790 he was made miniature painter to the King, who greatly admired his work. He sometimes painted in enamel, but his chief works are on ivory, and are marked by very great character, are well drawn and coloured, and full of power. He is said to have made a fortune by his art. His work is often some- what artificial, and lacks the refinement and repose of Cosway. He commonly exaggerated the size of the eyes, though this peculiarity is not remarkable in the charming example, which by the courtesy of the owner, Mr. W. Hall Walker, I have given of his style. His male portraits strike one as manly, fleshy, vigorous, and as true renderings of the characteristics of the men of his time. He must have painted a large number of portraits, for he was a favourite artist, and exhibited at the Academy for nearly forty years, ceasing to do so in 1812. There was also a J. D. Engleheart who exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1801 and continued up to 1828, enjoying a good practice. He also exhibited at the British Institution. The last of the quartette of whom I have spoken in the opening lines of this chapter is Samuel Shelley. In some respects he may be said to be the most interesting of them all ; not by reason of the quality of his work, but in regard to his personality, for Shelley was born in Whitechapel, just about the middle of the century. This self-taught genius first exhibited at the Academy in 1774. He is said to have trained himself by copying the works of Reynolds. If so, he never attained to anything like the warmth of colouring of his model, for his miniatures are characterised by a certain greyness of tone, and colour is certainly not a strong point with him. He devoted most attention to female figures treated allegorically, for example — "Pysche," "Cupid solicits new wings," "Chastity" (the last engraved), and so forth, are characteristic of his class of subjects. He was one of XXXV. Geovgiana, Duchess of Devonshire. A'. Cosimy. The Ouceii. FROM THE MIDDLE OF THE i8th CENTURY ONWARDS. 75 the original members of the Water Colour Society which was founded at his house. He also made designs for book illustrations, though these are counted inferior to his miniatures. He has been said to have formed his style upon Cosway, an opinion with which I am unable to agree. The subjoined list of lesser lights might be largely extended, and a brief mention must at any rate be made of the following. Although we cannot fully endorse Walpole's flattering opinion of Lady Diana Beauclerc (daughter of the 2nd Duke of Marlborough), we must allow she was a clever painter and modeller. She drew designs for Wedgwood, and was especially successful with children. Her drawing of her two daughters, engraved by Bartolozzi, is well known. She married the Hon. Topham Beauclerc, and died in 1808, aged 74. Miss Mary Benwell exhibited at the Society of Artists 1761 or 2 to 1782. She was living retired in Paddington in 1800, having married an officer named Code. Several of her works were engraved. C. Bestland was a contemporary of Cosway, about whom very little seems to be known. Redgrave does not mention him, but he appears to have contributed to the exhibitions of his time. In 1885, a number of his works,- both in oils and miniature, were sold at Sotheby's. They comprised subjects very varied in their nature, and copies after Reynolds, Gainsborough, Wheatley, and others. He was also an engraver. Miss Sarah Biffin was born near Bridgwater, and was from her birth without hands or feet. She had instruction from Mr. W. M. Craig, and in 1821 was awarded the Society of Arts Medal. She married a Mr. Wright, and contributed a miniature (from Liverpool) to the Royal Academy in 1850. In spite of patronage by the Royal family, she became very reduced in circumstances before her death, which was in 1850. That clever and versatile man, Edward Bird, who was the son of a carpenter, and lived to be a Royal Academician, painted miniatures at one stage of his career, as it may be added, he did the scenery for a pantomime. He was buried in the cloisters of Bristol Cathedral in the year i8ig. From the fact of John Bogle commencing the practice of his art in Glasgow, and afterwards continuing it in Edinburgh, I assume he was of Scottish origin. He exhibited at the Academy for twenty years, namely, firom 1772 to 1792. Athough his works are allowed to possess great merit, being beautifully finished, and recalling the enamel-like manner of Smart, he is said to have died in great poverty. According to Cunningham "he was a little lame man, very poor, very proud, and very singular." Robert Bowyer was one of the numerous painters appointed to George III., and is thought to have been a pupil of Smart. His works 76 BRITISH MINIATURE PAINTERS. which were exhibited at the Academy 1783 to 1797 were much esteemed. He died in 1834, aged 76. Adam Buck is well known by his small subjects, generally in profile. He and his brother Frederick, who was also a miniature painter, were born at Cork. Adam Buck's last contribution to the Royal Academy was in 1833. Alfred Edward Chalon, R.A., came of an old French family, and for a generation was in the front rank as a fashionable painter in water colours. His full lengths, usually about 10 inches high, as well as his ivory miniatures, are painted with much vivacity and grace, they are attractive from their brilliancy of colour and at the same time are full of character. His draperies are especially spirited and elegant ; and as Mr. Redgrave has remarked, imitate " all the vagaries fashion can commit in silk and lace." He was a popular and accomplished man, and was made painter in water colours to the Queen. He died somewhat prematurely in i860, aged 43. George Chinnery, R.H.A., excelled in many branches of art, and con- tributed miniatures to the Acp.demy in 1791. He spent fifty years of his career in the East Indies, and died at Macao. John Comerford was born at Kilkenny about 1773. His greatest reputation was made in Dublin, but his miniatures are well-known in this country and esteemed for their careful finish and forcible character. Excelling in male portraits, he painted numbers of the military men of his time. Richard Corbould is known as a landscape and portrait painter, but he was also a miniaturist and a book illustrator. He exhibited miniatures in the Academy from 1777 and made various contributions up to 1811, but he lived to the year 1831. Perhaps not all the world knows that David Cox had, what one may term, a narrow escape from becoming a miniaturist painter, for at the age of fifteen he was apprenticed to a locket and miniature painter at Birmingham, named Fieldler. The charming head of a young man, which I give at the end of the volume was painted by Cox at the age of sixteen, and shows how well he had learned the art. Before he was a year older, his master had committed suicide. Here, of course, was an end of David's engagement, and from the one extreme of minuteness, such as miniatures require, this great English landscape painter, that was to be, went to the other extreme — of scene painting. This was at the Birmingham theatre, of which Macready, the father of the tragedian, was then the lessee and manager, and with him we must leave David Cox. William Marshall Craig is said to have been brother to James Craig, the Architect who designed Prince's Street, Edinburgh. He was painter in water colours to Queen Charlotte, and miniature painter to the Duke and Duchess of York. His first contribution to the Academy was made from xxxri. Richard and Maria Cosway. j?. Cosway. FROM THE MIDDLE OF THE i8th CENTURY ONWARDS. 77 Manchester, in 1788. In 1814 he exhibited a collection of his works in Lower Brook Street, but his contributions ceased in 1827. His drawings are said to have been carefully finished, but frequently tame in manner. Richard Crosse was born in Devonshire. His name first appears in 1758, when he gained a premium at the Society of Arts. In 1790 he was appointed enamel painter to the King ; and was probably the dumb artist described by Haydn in his memoirs, who made a fortune by his art early in life and retired to Wells. Hon. Mrs. Ann Damer. The only child of Field-Marshal Conway. She married at 19 the Hon. John Damer, the eldest son of the first Lord Milton, who committed suicide in 1776, after which she applied herself to the study of art. This distinguished amateur will be remembered better as a sculptor, than as a miniature painter. The heads sculptured on Henley Bridge are by her. She was the subject of extravagant eulogies by her cousin, Horace Walpole, who left her Strawberry Hill and all its contents. She is well known by the painting of her by Sir J. Reynolds, finely engraved by J. R. Smith. William Derby was born at Birmingham just at the close of the Eighteenth century, and is probably best known by the drawings that he made for " Lodge's portraits of illustrious personages." He copied for Lord Derby all the known portraits of his lordship's family from the time of Henry VII., two examples of which are given, namely : Lady Elizabeth Hamilton, daughter of James, Sixth Duke of Hamilton and Elizabeth, his Duchess; and Elizabeth Gunning, Duchess of Hamilton and afterwards of Argyll. He had a son, Alfred T. Derby, who assisted him in his work, and died in 1783. Copies by the elder man are marked by extreme carefulness and minuteness. Henry Edridge was a genuine artist, but he owed much of his advancement to the friendly notice of Sir Joshua Reynolds, who permitted him to make copies of his portraits in miniature. Edridge's earliest works were painted on ivory, but his spirited drawings on paper — with the figure slightly touched in, and the head carefully finished — are better known. He was made an A.R.A. in 1820, but died the following year, and grief may be said to have killed him, for, losing his daughter in her 17th year, and, soon afterwards, his only remaining child, a son, he never recovered the shock, and his friend Dr. Munro (the patron of Turner and Girtin) laid him to rest in Bushey Churchyard. William Egley was born at Doncaster, and died in London. He was first employed in a London publishing house ; self-taught, he exhibited at the Royal Academy, and also at the British Institution and Suffolk Street Exhibitions, 1824-1869. His miniatures were marked by careful finish, truth, and simple purity of colour, recalling Sir William Ross in manner. 78 BRITISH MINIATURE PAINTERS. Samuel Finney, was born in Cheshire, and died there. He painted on ivory and in enamel with much success in London, was a member of the Society of Artists from 1761 — 6, exhibited a portrait of Queen Charlotte in 1765, having been made portrait painter to Her Majesty. He also exhibited at the Suifolk Street Exhibitions. He came of an old family, and inheriting some property, retired from his profession to his native county. Considering the position he attained, it is somewhat noteworthy that none of his work was shewn at the Loan collection at Kensington, 1865. John George Paul Fischer fled to England in 1810 to evade the French conscription, and was fortunate enough to obtain the patronage of Queen Charlotte, whom he painted, as he did also her younger children. In 1819 he painted the infant Princess Victoria in her cradle. He continued an exhibitor to the Academy until 1861. He died in 1875. Thomas Fry was a Dublin man. In his younger years he was con- cerned with a China manufactory at Bow, but he painted in various styles and enjoyed considerable reputation for his miniatures ; probably he is best known by the large portrait engravings, life size, which he engraved in mezzotint. He died in 1762, aged 53. William Grimaldi, though born in London in 1751, claimed descent from the great Genoese family of the same name. After various wanderings, he settled in London in 1785, where he secured much employment. He was miniature painter to George III. and IV. and the Duke and Duchess of York, and there are a good many examples of his work in the Royal Library, at Windsor. He died in 1830. Sylvester Harding was brought up to hairdressing ; this he quitted to join a company of strolling players, but in 1775 commenced as a miniature painter in London. He died in i8og. Thomas Hargreaves was the son of a Liverpool draper, and owed his start upon an artist's career to Sir Thomas Lawrence, who employed him as an articled assistant for a year or two. He contributed to the Academy in 180Q, was a member of the Liverpool Academy from 181 1 and onwards, he was also an exhibitor and influential member of the Society 6f British Artists. He began life by miniature painting, and to it he returned in his later years. His association with Liverpool, no doubt, accounts for the very interesting portrait of the Rt. Hon. W. E. Gladstone and his sister, as children, of which a reproduction is given. Charles Hayter practised about the beginning of this century in crayon and miniature, and was esteemed for the correctness of his likeness ; his portraits were pleasing, though weak in drawing. He exhibited miniatures for many years at the Royal Academy, for the last time in 1832. He also exhibited at Suffolk Street Exhibition. XXAVJI Lady Ov Sir J.

FROM THE MIDDLE OF THE i8th CENTURY ONWARDS. 79 Sir George Hayter, portrait and history painter, was son of the above. When very young he was admitted as a student of the Royal Academy, was rated as a midshipman in 1808, but returned to painting the following year. In 1815 he was appointed miniature painter to the Princess Charlotte. He went several times to Italy, painted several large portrait groups, and frequently exhibited at the Royal Academy, but was never admitted a member. On the accession of Queen Victoria in 1837, he was appointed her portrait and history painter, and painted a large picture of her coronation. In 1842 he was knighted. His portraits were pleasing and care- fully painted, but do not possess any high art qualities. James Holmes, a miniature painter, was apprenticed to an engraver. In 1813 he joined the Water Colour Society, which he left in 1822. He first exhibited at the Royal Academy in i8ig, and contributed portraits and portrait groups for many years. He was one of the founders of the Society of British Artists. He excelled in miniatures, and had Lord Byron and many other distinguished men, as sitters. His works were good in colour and generally carefully finished. He had besides, great musical talent, and became a favourite of George IV., and was in the habit of joining both in singing and playing with the King. Charles Jagger was a provincial artist who died at Bath in 1827, his works are said not to have been exhibited in London, but are considered to be marked by a peculiar breadth and character. I have seen a portrait of Miss Burdett-Coutts, as a girl, painted by him. Charlotte Jones, exhibited at the Royal Academy from 1801 to 1823, was miniature painter to the Princess of Wales. A series repre- senting the Princess Charlotte at various ages, was shewn at the Guelph Exhibition. Miss E. E. Kendrick was a successful miniature painter in her day, and contributed to the Academy for many years. She published in 1830 a work on miniature painting, and in 1831 was appointed miniature painter to the King. She lived to the age of 83, dying in the year 1871. The name of Samuel Lover, R.H.A. will probably be better remem- bered by his novel of " Handy Andy " and by his songs, than by his art work, nevertheless he was a miniature painter, who practised in Dublin, where he was born in 1797. He was elected member of the Royal Hibernian Academy in 1822, contributed to the Royal Academy, London, from 1832 to 1843. He died at Jersey in 1868. Sir William Newton exhibited at the Royal Academy and British Institution from 1808-63. He was a successful artist, and was appointed miniature painter to Queen Adelaide, was knighted in 1857, but his works are 8o BRITISH MINIATURE PAINTERS. marked by the want of taste which characterised the art of the period, and his drawing was defective. Theophila Palmer is well known as the original of the " Strawberry Girl," and a favourite niece of Sir Joshua Reynolds, it was to her that the painter addressed the playful lines — "When I drink tea I think of my The, And when I drink coffee I think of my Offy ; So whether I drink my tea or my coffee I am always thinking of thee, my Theoffy." She married a Mr. Gwatkin, and, according to Dr. Propert, was a very successful miniaturist. Owing to her great age (90), she lived well on into our own times, not dying till the year 1848. Be the reason what it may, Scotland has not produced many miniature painters of the first rank, but there are two or three notable exceptions. Andrew Robertson is one. Sir Henry Raeburn, R.A., is another, and Robert Thorburn is a third. Raeburn was an orphan who at 15 was was apprenticed to a goldsmith at Edinburgh ; he lived to become President of the Scotch Academy, and was knighted in 1822, when George IV. visited that city. Early attempts at miniature painting were encouraged by his master, and sitters soon came. Such was his reputation that on com- pleting his time, he set up as a portrait painter in oils. When twenty- two he went upon a sketching excursion, and met with a lady whom he introduced in his picture (as Gainsborough did with "sweet Margaret Burr.") She became his wife and brought him an amiable nature, a fair face, and a handsome dower. Reynolds received him kindly in London. Two years were passed in study in Italy, and the remainder of his prosperous career was spent in Edinburgh, where he died in 1823. Walter and Charles Robertson were sons of a jeweller in Dublin. The elder — Walter, according to Redgrave, held the first place in miniature art in Ireland. Charles is said to have excelled in female portraits. The elder brother, Walter, like his countryman Chinnery, died in the East Indies. Two more brothers remain to be mentioned, namely FRAN90IS and Simon James Rochard. As their names would indicate, these were French- men. The first-named came to London about 1820, and became a fashionable painter, practising his art up to about 1850. He died at Notting Hill in 1858. His brother, who had preceded him to this country by some five years, was also successful as a miniature painter. The portrait of Mrs. Johnstone given, is by Fran9ois Rochard, and belongs to Mr. Jefferey Whitehead. I have before remarked upon the paucity of Scotch miniature painters, but to that George L. Saunders is an exception. This successful miniature painter was born in Fifeshire in 1777, and whilst in his youth was apprenticed XXXVIII . a* in w ■u << o -6 a -B - > y 'c ^31 FROM THE MIDDLE OF THE i8th CENTURY ONWARDS. 8i to a coach-maker. Coming to London in 1807, he had the good fortune to have the Princess Charlotte amongst his first sitters. He painted numbers of the aristocracy, among them Lord Byron several times. To the exception which Saunders makes, may be added Anthony Stewart and his daughters. This Perthshire man, who was born at Crieff in 1773, studied art under Alexander Nasmyth, the landscape painter. Coming to London, he painted Princess Charlotte, and the first miniature of the Princess Victoria, who sat to him frequently. He was an accomplished man, who did good work, and his daughters, Margaret and Grace, are also said to have excelled as miniaturists. As is the case with Fry, so John Raphael Smith is probably better known as an engraver. This boon companion of George Morland was originally apprenticed to a linen draper at Derby, and it was whilst he was a shopman in London that he painted miniatures. He was a man of pleasure, but of varied ability, and above all, eminent as a mezzotint engraver. His admirable render- ings of Sir Joshua Reynolds' works are greatly esteemed. John S. Stump's works are well known, marked by breadth and good tone ; he was a contributor to the various Exhibitions up to 1845. Many of his subjects are theatrical portraits in character. He died in 1863. Mrs. Walker was a daughter of S. W. Reynolds, the mezzotint engraver, and began engraving at a very tender age. She left this branch of art for painting on ivory, and ultimately was appointed miniature painter to William IV. She was a contributor to the Academy for many years. She died in 1876, having been born in the first year of the century. In addition to the above, mention may be made of the amateurs — Countess Spencer, Lady Templetown, Lady Lucan, and Miss Crewe. Before bringing this list of miniature painters to a close, a brief reference may be made to names well-known in other branches ; of artists who occasionally painted a miniature, and who, it is interesting to know, were thus far associated with our subject, such as William Hamilton, a Royal Academician, who, of course, is best known as a historical painter; and another historical painter named George Francis Joseph, A.R.A. ; and yet another historical painter, this time a lady, and that very rare bird, a female member of the Royal Academy, namely Angelica Kauffman, who is so well-known as to require no further comment. Again, Thomas Kirk was a painter and engraver of such ability that, says Dayes, " he passed like a meteor through the region of art." He was a student of Richard Cosway. Like Turner's, George Clint's father was a hairdresser, and he was in Holborn in 1770. His father intended him for a ^2 BRITISH MINIATURE PAINTERS. iishmonger, but that trade did not suit the future Associate of the Royal Academy, who, after trying an Attorney's office, and house painting, took up miniature art. His career is well-known, and before he died in 1854, aged 85, he had attained a competence, but not without undergoing many privations. Like many other miniaturists he was a very good engraver. John Kay was the son of a stone mason, born near Dalkeith 1742, where he was apprenticed to a barber at the age of thirteen. Before he was twenty, he was conducting a thriving business of the same kind in Edin- burgh, and in his leisure took up limning; a wealthy customer leaving him money, he also took up etching, with striking success. He is said to have etched nearly 900 plates, and Kay's Edinburgh portraits are amongst the best known caricatures ever published. The last two names I shall mention are among the most distinguished of all, namely, Sir Thomas Lawrence, P.R.A., and Sir David Wilkie, A.R.A. I have not infrequently heard the former spoken of as having painted miniatures, but I think his works of this nature are by no means numerous, if indeed, always to be identified. Mr. Augustus Spalding has a miniature of Lady Templetown, wife of the first Viscount, and Mr. W. Hall Walker possesses another example ascribed to Lawrence. As to Wilkie, the small scale and exquisite finish of his work would have enabled him to paint miniatures, had he been so minded and, by the way, he was appointed King's limner for Scotland in 1823, but the only two works described as miniatures by him, with which I am acquainted, are portraits of a gentleman, and of the painter's brother, which were shown in the Winter Exhibition of the Royal Academy, 1879. There is no gainsaying the fact that about the middle of the present century the beautiful art whose history we have been considering, after flourishing exceedingly for some three hundred years, suddenly fell into disrepute. It may be said to have undergone a partial, well-nigh a total, eclipse. Sir William Ross, who was the most eminent man of the period in this branch of art, realised clearly enough the cause of this decay of his art, and took the despondent view of it we have already seen. The prognostic, in which the distinguished Royal Academician indulged, seemed for years to be only too true. Deprived of its patronage, the art fell into decay, almost into oblivion, and the public, which had cheerfully paid its hundred guineas and more for miniatures by Ross and Thorburn, ceased to call for such things at all. It has been truly said " Photography murdered them." Yet, during all these dark days, the practice of the art did not entirely die out. I can mention men who earned a livelihood by it, and, as their work was good, I take pleasure in re- cording their names. R. Easton is one, and F. A.

Tilt's work was greatly and justly appreciated in his day. He had three sons who followed their father's profession, and all died pre- maturely. Henderson still continues with the above-named firm, and exhibits occasionally at the Royal Academy. By degrees it has been recognised that photography, with all its undeniable merits of cheapness, of rapidity, of fidelity (only too faithful and unsparing when left to itself; and often unrecognisable by candid friends when the retoucher's pencil has been allowed full play) ; I say photography has proved to be no substitute for miniature painting. A most useful handmaid, if you will, employed constantly, by some portrait painters, an assistant invaluable in these days of hurry, but not, I repeat, a substitute, and so it has come to pass that the value and the beauty of miniature painting are once more recognised, as is shewn by the fact that the past year or two have seen the formation of two societies of miniature painters. I have ventured upon this digression to show cause why two such distinguished professors of the art as Sir William Ross, R.A. and Robert Thorburn, A. R.A. suddenly ceased to practise it ; and because they mark, as it were, the close of a period. After their death photography became so paramount, that it came to be believed all miniatures must be painted on photographs, and it was gravely asserted that all were painted upon them. There are, of course, always "laudatores temporis acti" to be found, and these spoke so loudly that it became the fashion with some people to pretend the art of miniature painting was extinct. Thus a Royal Academician, who should know better, did not scruple to declare in the course of one of his lectures delivered at the Society of Arts upon Mezzotint Engraving, that " all the miniatures one now sees at Burlington House are painted upon photographs." This is^ by no means the case ; doubtless, as I have said, photographs are largely and, it may be added, legitimately used by portrait painters now-a-days, as guides, and for reference ; vidth a result I do not hesitate to say in the case of miniatures, at any rate, of greatly increased fidelity of feature. Obviously one of the most important requirements of portraiture is fidelity of feature ; at the same time it may be bought at the cost of the mechanical hardness which belongs to so many photographs. But no one who knows anything of the art, and wishes to attain proper purity of tone would think of painting upon a photograph. That is another matter altogether, and I have personal knowledge of hundreds of miniatures, proper, having been painted during the last quarter of a century upon virgin pieces of ivory and from life sittings. So whilst a low standard of miniature painting prevails, as the Press and the critics say, with unfortunately only too much truth, I, for one, do not despair, I cry " Meliora speramus." ■■ »■ r^- im. 11 IP »■ t ! CHAPTER XIV. RICHARD COSWAY. ' OOPER died in 1672. A century after his decease, another bright, particular star had risen upon the horizon of Enghsh miniature painting, in the shape of Richard Cosway, who in 1771, when but little over thirty years of age, received the full honours of the Academy. Each of these eminent painters in little, may be said to cast lustre upon their respective periods, but how dissimilar are their works ! In my humble judgment, the difference which marks their style may be expressed by terming one essentially a masculine, the other a feminine painter. A manly simplicity and directness of style, a force of character in subject, so to speak, distinguish the earlier artist ; whilst an effeminacy, or as some critic has termed it, "a hot-house lusciousness " characterises "Maccaroni Cosway." There seems to be some doubt as to the date of Cosway's birth, but his baptismal register was dated 1742. His father was Master of Blundel's School at Tiverton, and it is said found occasion to correct the young artist for neglecting his lessons in the idle pursuit of drawing, when he was but seven years of age. It is clear he gave early promise, and when of tender years, was sent to London to the studio of another Devonshire man, Thomas Hudson, perhaps best known as the master of Sir Joshua Reynolds. He also became a student at Shipley's famous drawing school, where, says J. T. Smith, he was employed as waiter to the students, and used to take in the tea and coffee. The authority I have just quoted declares in his highly entertaining " life and times of Nollekens," that Cosway, from being one of the dirtiest of boys, rose to be one of the smartest of men. This gossiping statement may be taken for what it is worth. What is quite certain is, that he must have worked hard, and that he attained success and recognition at an early age ; XL. t^ > d '^ -• W <0 5' >• tU C^ -; 'O hJ ^ ci rt ci t— I— , "-H O O O o o o ^ ^ ^ RICHARD COSWAY. 85 thus we find him winning the premium of the then newly constituted Society of Arts, 1755 — a premium of fifteen guineas for the best drawings of any kind by boys and girls under 14. If, as is quite possible, Cosway went through a grub-like period of existence whilst he lodged in Beaufort Buildings, and painted subjects for snuff boxes of an immoral nature, there is no doubt that he rapidly emerged into the butterfly stage ; fortune smiled upon him and prosperity came to him early, for he was elected A.R.A. when he was 29, and full Academician two years later. So gorgeous was he in personal attire, that we read of his appearing in sale rooms in a mulberry silk coat profusely embroidered with gold lace and scarlet straw- berries. And in the well-known picture by Zoffany of the life school at Somerset House, it is noteworthy that of the two persons wearing swords, one is Sir Joshua Reynolds, President of the Royal Academy — the other resplendent diminutive person is Cosway. Such, in fact, was his extravagance and ostentation that he became notorious and a butt for ridicule. His studio and house were full of costly works of art, of silks, china, and gems, in which he trafficked and dealt. He boasted of his friendship with the Prince of Wales : he entertained lavishly the rank and fashion of the day. Peter Pindar did not spare him, for when the painter moved from Pall Mall to No. I, Stratford Place, to a house with a lion upon it at the south-west corner, Dr. Wolcot is said to have affixed these lines upon the 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." This lampoon led Cosway to move to No. 20, where he resided until his death. He married the daughter of an Irishman named Hadfield — an inn- keeper at Leghorn. She was born in Florence in 1759 and lived to be nearly 80. She appears to have been somewhat of a beauty in her youthful days, of the blonde type, with soft blue eyes. After she had studied Art in Rome she came to England, where she painted miniatures professionally. She first exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1781, when Cosway married her. She continued to contribute for twenty years, practising Art in various forms, and is said to have maintained her family by her exertions. More- over, she was an excellent musician, and she fully shared Cosway's taste for profusion and display. They must have been a curious pair. Cosway himself professed belief in Swedenborgian doctrines and animal magnetism. He could talk with his wife at Mantua; he had conversed, says Hazlitt, with more than one Person of the Trinity. I give their portraits as "Abelard and Heloise" in the Garden of Fulbert's country residence, at Corbeil. 86 BRITISH MINIATURE PAINTERS. The portrait here presented of him is by himself. It is in the National Portrait Gallery, and it must be owned does not bear out the character for eccentricity of appearance which has been ascribed to him. The costume being simply a grey coat, buttoned over a white waistcoat ; he wears a white neck cloth, tied in a large bow. His closely-shaven face is nearly in profile, the eyes are dark, and the hair is grey powdered. It is the size of the plate exactly, and was given to the nation by Miss Zornlin in 1870. But it is with his art, rather than his foibles, that we have to do. Allan Cunningham, in his " Lives of Eminent British Painters," thus con- cludes a long account of Cosway : " His works are less widely known than they deserve, and his fame is fading." Abroad, his reputation may not be equal to that, say, of Cooper, and I could find but one example of his work in the Louvre (in the La Cazas collection), but judged by a pecuniary standard, his fame, far from diminishing, steadily grows, and is never likely to decrease. He possessed extraordinary rapidity of execution. Cunningham says : " He often finished miniatures at three sittings of half an hour each ; and when he sat down to dinner, would boast that he had despatched during the day twelve or fourteen sitters." This is a statement which must be received "cum grano," for it is obvious, that if true, the result from one year's work could be reckoned by the thousand. There is, no doubt, however, that he was a prolific artist, and that he first exhibited in the Academy in 1767, being then twenty-six years of age. He lived to be eighty. In this long life, with his rapid brush, he painted a vast number of miniatures. At the beginning of the century Maria Cosway was separated from her husband, whereupon Cosway appears to have consoled himself with the society of another Royal Academician, Mary Moser, to wit, and is reported to have gone about the country in her company. In 1804 Mrs. Cosway retired to a religious house at Lyons : Walpole says, " owing to the death of her daughter." She was living in 1821, and was in London during that year, but is believed to have died at Lyons. Richard Cosway died whilst taking the air in his carriage, July 4th, 1821. Paralysis of the right hand had led him to retire from his profession some time previously. All the while that it was the fashion to talk of the decay of miniature painting, there would seem to have been a never-ending host of copyists ever at work, as there still is, especially upon flagrant forgeries of Cosway and his contemporaries. In some hints I have ventured to offer to collectors in a subsequent chapter of this book, I quote words of warning on the subject, which would-be purchasers may take to heart.

Quite lately fresh r*«^^*w 88 BRITISH MINIATURE PAINTERS. a lovely work belonging to the Hon. Gerald Ponsonby: the other a drawing of George IV. when Prince of "Wales, formerly belonging to the Hon. W. Ashley, the spirit and distinction of which is exceptionally line, indeed, for bravura and flattery, it would be difficult to excel. Many of these were engraved and are described in the admirable catalogue of engravings after Cosway, issued by Mr. Daniell, with an introduction by Sir PhiHp Currie ; this contains some i6o portraits and about 70 " fancy " subjects, and shows the versatility and higher qualities of the artist. As to the examples which I have selected to illustrate Cosway, the temptation has been very strong to introduce a considerable number. I venture to hope that such as are shewn will be deemed representative. Moreover, some of them possess an additional charm from the interest attaching to the originals. To begin with one from her Majesty's collection, viz. : the large head and bust of Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire. This lovely work must always be delightful from the astonishing freedom of the technique (note especially the treatment of the hair) and the naive charm of the features. The beauty and accomplishments of this celebrated woman are well known. She was the eldest daughter of John, ist Earl Spencer, born 1757, married William, 5th Duke of Devonshire, 1774. Horace Walpole writing to his friend Mann, says — " She, a lovely girl, natural, and full of grace ; he, the first match in England." And next year — " her youth, figure, glowing good nature, sense, lively modesty, and modest familiarity make her a phenomenon." As Queen of "ton" she set the fashion of the feather head-dresses, despite "the aspersions cast on them by churlish old women, ridiculous prudes, and brutish censors." She died in 1806. Reynolds and Gainsborough vied with each other in painting her, and she is the original of the " Stolen " Duchess, a picture the fate of which is one of the curiosities of art history. Her interest in politics and exertions in the Westminster Election are well known, and I am fortunate in being able to supplement her grace's portrait, by that of her friend Mrs. Crewe, by Ozias Humphrey, taken from an etching by Ragon from the original at Crewe; this I owe to the courtesy of Lord Crewe, whilst I am able to show another portrait of the Duchess, at Castle Howard, by an unknown artist, this belongs to the Earl of Carlisle, to whom I am also indebted for other interesting works to which I shall refer later on. The full length of a young lady, so like Mrs. Tickell in pose, is the property of Captain E. W. Williams. The full length of Lady Orde, from the original in the possession of the late Sir J. Campbell Orde, Bart., is a most tender and charming example; it is not a tinted drawing, but a highly finished miniature upon ivory, of unusual scale and importance.

Mrs. Meynell Ingram is the fortunate possessor ; and to Katharine, Fifth Duchess of Leeds, from the collection of W. Hall Walker, Esq. The charms of Lady Horatia Seymour may be left to speak for themselves. The group of two children, viz.. Lady Georgiana Cavendish, afterwards Countess of Carlisle, and her sister, Lady Harriet Elizabeth Cavendish, afterwards Countess Granville, is a delightful picture of childish sweetness and shows the artist at his best. The original formerly belonged to Lord Taunton and is now at Castle Howard, as is the portrait of William, Sixth Duke of Devonshire. Sir Spencer Ponsonby Fane is the owner of the Lady Westmorland, whose husband I am also able to show; some critics have considered the latter to be the work of Engleheart. With reference to the other works of Cosway shown, the Lady Charlotte Duncombe ; the lady with a chin stay at the South Kensington Museum ; the young lady wearing a sash, will all, I think, be admitted to be typical examples of the author's style, whilst a first rate instance of Cosway's powers to paint a gentleman, is the beautiful example from the South Kensington Museum, of Lord Newark. Mention must now be made of two of Cosway's pupils. I refer to the Plimers — they were brothers. The elder, Nathaniel, was born at Wellington, Salop, in 1751, the younger, Andrew, in 1763. Until quite recently these artists may be said to have been hardly known, even by name, in proof of which I may remark they are not to be found in Mr. Redgrave's Century of Painters. No doubt their work has been constantly ascribed to Cosway, which may be accounted for by a contemporaneous identity of costume and of subject, and similarity of style. Nathaniel exhibited at the Royal Academy from 1787 to 1815, and died in 1822. Andrew was a contributor to the Academy from 1786 to 1810, and again within a year of his master's death. He survived till 1837, when he died at Brighton. It is generally admitted that the younger brother, Andrew, was the better artist. There is a well-known group of three young girls, daughters of Sir John Rushout, upon which his fame may be said largely to rest. It is so pleasing and popular a work that I give an illustration of it. Many of Plimer's portraits of ladies bear, no doubt, a resemblance to the work of Cosway at first sight, and there is an ingenuous charm and simplicity, almost refinement about these young damsels which is very attractive. But take any genuine ordinary fine example of Richard Cosway, and put it by the side of Plimer's work, and you will see how wide is the interval between them. So far from there being a close similarity, I have before now go BRITISH MINIATURE PAINTERS. been struck by the very reverse, e.g. in the Guelph Exhibition there was a miniature of Anne, Countess of Mornington, totally unlike Cosway in manner; and at Kensington there was shewn another work, also by A. Plimer, of Mrs. Fitzherbert (belonging to the Portarlington family), which robs this well-known lady of all personal charm. Although it is dated within a year of her marriage with George IV., that is to say, 1786, it is as different as possible from another portrait of the same lady and belonging to the same owner, by Cosway, of which I should be tempted to give an illustration were it not one of the subjects more frequently copied than any I know. Sometimes there is a heaviness of colour, sometimes a wiriness of touch, combined with a certain want of feminine refinement, which, to my eye at any rate, makes Plimer's different and inferior to Cosway's. In his own day, no doubt, he was overshadowed by Cosway's reputation and superior abilities. Nevertheless, he painted many pleasing works, and examples by his brush are now eagerly sought for, and realise high prices. I give illustrations for purposes of comparison of two portraits, one by Andrew Plimer, the other by Cosway, of Mrs. Somers Cocks ; and, lastly, a portrait of Lady Theresa Strangways, although the figure and drapery of this appear to be merely sketched, it is artistically complete, and has an unlaboured charm which makes it most attractive. But the portrait of a young lady, which is often called the Duchess of Devonshire, is, I think, not that lady at all, albeit a most delightful example of Plimer's powers. By the Earl of Carlisle's kindness, I was able recently to re-examine this exquisite miniature, I found it had the usual initials " A.P." on the face of the ivory, and a date 1786, which, when compared with that of Her Grace's birth, did not tally. In 1786 the Duchess would have been twenty-nine years of age, which this charming young lady certainly is not. The pendant to it, also from Castle Howard, has always been called Georgiana Spencer. Now both these miniatures have the hair of the originals at the back, but the colours are quite different, that of the younger, and, as I maintain, mis-named portrait, being of a considerably darker shade of brown.

ROSS AND THORBURN. E have now arrived at the fourth and last division of our subject. The period we have to deal with extends from the death of Cosway to, say, the middle, or thereabouts, of this century. In the preface of a work of much interest which has been recently published — " The letters and papers of Andrew Robertson, A.M." we read " it is not generally known that at the close of the i8th century the multitude of inferior miniatures and the failing powers or retirement of the eminent men still living (then living the author means) threatened the extinction of this branch of art. The small oval miniature developed into the cabinet picture; which culminated in the works of Hayter, Newton, Thorburn, and the delicate and beautiful portraits of Ross; my father's pupil, (the writer is Miss Robertson) from the age of fourteen, and his dear friend through life." Certain it is that when we have added to the above-named, Alfred E. Chalon, and a few others, we have practically all the best known men who flourished from the days of Cosway and Humphrey down to the eclipse of the art, consequent upon the discovery of photography. This Andrew Robertson was a painter who may be called self- taught. His energy and perseverance were crowned by successs, and he came to be regarded as the father of his art. He was born at Aberdeen in 1777. When only sixteen he was director of concerts in his native town, at the same time teaching drawing, painting scenes, miniatures, " and anything that offered," says Redgrave. In 1801 he walked up to London to see the Exhibition, and was so fortunate as to attract the notice of Sir Benjamin "West, who induced him to stay, and sat to him for his portrait. Through West's influence, Royal patronage followed, and in due time he received the appointment of miniature painter to the Duke of Sussex. His reputation was now established, and he had many pupils. <)2 BRITISH MINIATURE PAINTERS. amongst them Sir William Ross. When he returned in 1841, he was presented with a piece of plate as " father of the profession." He was a first- rate violinist, and an actively charitable man. He died at Hampstead in 1845. In respect of drawing, his miniatures are good and well finished. Taut leave something to be desired in point of colour. His pupil, William Ross, quite eclipsed him in celebrity, being probably, by general consent, the most distinguished of modern miniature painters. Mr. Jefferey Whitehead possesses a large collection of Robertson's works. The example given — Mary, Countess of Leitrim, is in the Charlemont family, and was shewn in Messrs. Dickinsons' Loan Exhibition, The prosperous career of Sir William Ross was not an eventful one. Delicate in childhood, he took little part in boyish sports, but took likenesses at a very early age ; as we have seen he was a pupil of Robertson's at fourteen. He was born in London in 1794. His parents were both portrait painters. His father, H. Ross, came of a Rossshire family, and was gardener to the Duke of Marlborough, and became an exhibitor from 1809 of miniature portrait groups at the Academy. His mother, Maria, was sister to Anker Smith, the engraver. She, too, was an occasional exhibitor at the Royal Academy, on the walls of which institution her son William's work appeared when he was only fifteen years of age, he having contributed three pictures in i8og. He had previously carried off medals from the Society of Arts and the Academy Schools. When twenty years old he became assistant to Andrew Robertson, although his predilection was for historical art and the "grand style." Happily for those whom he lived to paint, he escaped this pitfall, and, devoting himself to miniature art, he soon took the highest rank in his profession. In 1837 the Queen sat to him, and he painted the whole of the Royal Family of England, the King and Queen of the Belgians, the King and Queen of Portugal, and hosts of other distinguished people. His miniatures are said to exceed 2,000 in number. In 1839 he was elected R.A., and was knighted. He died in i860. In the same year an exhibition of his works was opened at the Society of Arts, and the catalogue of this collection is likely to be of so much value for future reference that I print it in extenso. It will be noted that no less than forty therein mentioned belong to the Queen. Whilst his draughtsmanship is always accurate and full of refinement, it has been objected against Ross that his palette was set too much " a la Rubens " for water colour painting, that is to say, the want of permanence so often to be regretted in works executed in this medium would, in the course of time, produce discord, in place of the harmony in which they were painted. The liberal use of pure reds and blues in his colouration would not unnaturally excite such fears, XLIV. George IV., when Prince of Wales. J^. Cosway. Shanesbury Family. ROSS AND THORBURN. 93 but I do not know that they have been fulfilled. Of the remarkable delicacy and purity of his flesh tones there can be but one opinion, the hands and arms of his female sitters being especially admirable. Although the costume of the period when he was at his zenith is as far from the ideal of what we now consider good taste, as any that can be found, excepting the absurd extravagancies of the Directory and Empire, yet it seems to have escaped the lace-and-feathers " modishness " of his friend Chalon, for example ; and with Ross, a head is never merely " a block whereupon a wreath may grow." His composition and grouping, his backgrounds, draperies, and accessories, are invariably marked by taste and skill. The illustrations of Sir William's art, which by the kindness of their owners I am able to show, are both interesting. The portrait of the Baroness Burdett-Coutts was exhibited in the Royal Academy of 1846. It represents Miss Coutts (as she then was), full length, and amply exemplifies all the highest qualities of the painter. The pose is simple, but dignified, the flesh tints, though fresh and brilliant, are without the pink and white perfection which detracts from our full enjoyment of some of his men's faces ; nothing here is artificial, we have delicacy combined with force, fine drawing and fine taste, carried into every detail. The effect of the whole being a combination of rich colour, restrained by sobriety of feeling, which gives the picture an harmonious and delightful completeness. The portrait of the Duchess of Somerset, which now belongs to Jefferey Whitehead, Esq., is a superb example of perhaps a slightly more florid style of art, and excites admiration by the manner in which the artist has overcome the difficulties of his subject. The colour of the robes, the beautiful and elaborate work in the front of the skirt are triumphs of technical skill, and combine richness and delicacy in a surprising manner. The lady represented is in coronation robes. She was a daughter of Sir M. S. Stewart, and married, as second wife, Edward Adolphus, nth Duke of Somerset. The portrait of Ross himself, which reflects the character of the man, is by Hugh Ross. Robert Thorburn, A.R.A., is another instance of rapid rise. Like his compeer Sir William Ross, he was of Scotch extraction, having been born at Dumfries three years after Waterloo. By the time Thorburn was thirty years of age he had painted the Queen, the Prince Consort and two of their children. His success may be measured by the list of his sitters, which I am able to give, thanks to the courtesy of his widow. In spite of his great and well deserved reputation, photography brought his earlier style of art to an abrupt termination. He therefore set himself to paint portraits in oil, and when his death occurred in November, 1885, the present generation had almost forgotten that he first made his name as a miniature painter. 94 BRITISH MINIATURE PAINTERS. There is a certain characteristic about the work of both these dis- tinguished men which tempts me to a digression. I allude to the scale upon which they worked. The earliest miniatures, as we have seen, were painted on vellum. Hilliard and those who succeeded him, down to the time of Cooper, after whose death ivory seems to have been introduced, generally used thin card ; often a piece of a playing card. Now, card is naturally very easily bent and broken, and the use of ivory was a distinct improvement, not only as being a more durable material, but as giving a better texture {tooth, as artists call it) to work upon, and allowing of greater purity of tone. Thorburn and the later professors used very large pieces of ivory, obtained by taking, by means of a lathe, a thin slice from the circumference of a tusk, rendering it flat by means of heat and great pressure, and then laying it down on a thick slab of indiarubber, which again was often placed upon a mahogany panel. Sometimes two or three pieces were joined to make one subject. The drawback is that not only are such large pieces liable to crack, but the joins very frequently show in an unsightly manner. More- over, from an artistic point of view, this practice is open to grave question. The delicacy and finish which characterise a fine miniature had also in these ambitious attempts to be extended to furniture, interiors and accessories, and in striving to attain effects with which miniatures, properly understood, have nothing to do, the artist runs the risk of sacrificing the qualities for which his art is distinguished. The skill and the labour involved is very great, the result by no means commensurate, and a little reflection will show that it must ever be so. If we examine the treatment, the scheme of effects which great artists like Reynolds and Vandyke employed; and still more in the case of masters of light and shade — like Rembrandt ; the conditions under which a miniature painter works, are seen at once to be totally different. To rightly appreciate the production of the former, large rooms, and a certain distance are essential. With a miniature, in proportion as it gains in size, it must lose in delicacy ; whilst, if viewed from a distance, its finest qualities cannot possibly be disclosed. No doubt instances can be found in which the artist has succeeded in making a lovely picture, in spite of the difficulties I have pointed out, and the portrait of the Duchess of Manchester, of which a reproduction is given, is a case in point. Here Thorburn has, by a dexterous treatment of the subject, avoided the necessity of elaborate, minute delineation of detail, which would detract from the effect of the head. But if this be granted, it must be owned that the work is an exception which proves the rule. XLV Portrait of a Young Lady. /!.

I am convinced that this defect may be traced to the same mistaken attempt to make his miniatures convey effects beyond their province. A study of the great masters of the past, would no doubt reveal a certain quality of tone which may seem a desirable thing to aim at, but let us ask whether this can be attained by any newly painted work without a sacrifice of freshness and truth to nature, which very easily passes into monotony and flatness. Is it not a quality which time alone can impart ? We may almost as well expect an architect to give to newly hewn stone the lichens, the weather stains, which have mellowed the face of some venerable pile ; like the West front of Rouen for example. But when all deductions have been made, it must be allowed his execution was refined, and his compositions were graceful and dignified. He took care to adapt his backgrounds to his sitters, and to place them in appropriate attitudes. His work was much admired in Paris, where he got the Gold Medal at the Exhibition, 1855. He died at Tunbridge, November 3rd, 1885. He was the last of the eminent miniature painters of the old school. The portrait shewn is by himself.

The Royal Library at Windsor Castle contains somewhere about a thousand examples. As a collection, it may be said to have been formed by the late Prince Consort, who, assisted by Her Majesty, brought together the various historical treasures of the kind which he found scattered about in various palaces, exposed to all sorts of risks, from sunlight, from damp, or neglect. As may be expected, this assemblage of portraits is remarkable, not merely for its numbers, but for the unbroken series of authentic portraits of our Royal family from Tudor times to the present day, and for the superlative quality of many of the works it contains. In these pages it is impossible to particularise the contents of such a collection, but I extract a brief account of some of the most noteworthy examples at Windsor, given by the Royal Librarian in the pages of the English Illustrated Magazine some years ago. To begin with Holbein, Mr. Holmes mentions the " pathetic portraits " of the two sons of Charles Brandon, Duke of Suffolk, who both died of the sweating sickness on the same day. (These have been fully described, and illustrations taken direct from the originals are given in this book.) A portrait of Catherine Howard is considered to be almost as fine as these. A replica of this is said by the Queen's librarian to be in the possession of the Duke of Buccleuch. " Of the works of Nicholas Hilliard the Royal collection originally contained many examples. Fourteen are mentioned in the catalogue of King Charles' collection of Limnings, but these last, unfortunately, are no longer to be found. Four beautiful specimens of his work, which must have been done by Royal command, are the portraits of Henry VII., Henry VIII., Edward VI., and his mother Jane Seymour, the last three after Holbein, which were originally attached to a golden jewel, enamelled on one side with a representation of the battle of Bosworth Field, and on the other, vnth e a o g. a o c Q.

The portraits alone remain, the jewel has long ago disappeared." There are jewelled badges upon the dress and cap of Henry. The miniature is dated 1509, the year of his death. In Horace Walpole's copy of Vander Doorfs catalogue, it is noted : " The above jewel and pictures were done by old Hilliard and given to the King by young Hilliard, by the deceased Earl of Pembroke's means." A portrait of Lady Jane Grey wearing the red and white roses in her hair was for many years ascribed to Princess, afterwards Queen, Mary, and was shewn by Mr. Sackville Bale at South Kensington in 1865, as a portrait of that lady, and attributed to Holbein. It came from the collection of Samuel Rogers. One of the most valued miniatures at Windsor is also one of the most interesting and undoubted portraits of Mary, Queen of Scots, and upon the authority of Mr. Holmes there is no portrait of the unhappy Queen which has so good a pedigree as this. It was the property of Charles I., and used to hang with seven other miniatures of " His Majesty's progenitors " in his own chamber. This probably authentic portrait of Mary is thus described in Vander Doort's catalogue. " No. 23. Item, done upon the right light, the second picture of Queen Mary of Scotland, upon a blue- grounded square card, dressed in her hair, in a carnation habit laced with small gold lace, and a string of pearls about her neck, in a little plain falling band, she putting on her second finger her wedding ring. Supposed to be done by Jennet, a French Limner." — Vide illustration. To the same artist is attributed The Dauphin, husband of Mary, Queen of Scots. " Done upon the right light. Upon a round blue card ground, with an isinglass over it, the picture of the Dauphin, son of France, in a black cap and a white feather, in a black habit lined with white fur adorned with gold, which said Dauphin was the first husband to Queen Mary of Scotland. Inch i^." — Vide illustration. By "the greatest miniature painter of the time" are numerous portraits of James I. and his consort Anne of Denmark; by the same hand is the "finest extant portrait" of their son Henry, Prince of Wales. This must have been painted before that Prince's untimely death, which was in 1612. Now, as Isaac Oliver died in 1617, we have in this an example of his latest style. The celebrated portrait of Sir Philip Sidney, poet, soldier and statesman, of which we give an illustration, must have been painted before 1586, that being the date of the battle of Zutphen. I have described it in dealing with Isaac Oliver. By Peter Oliver, amongst other things, is "a curious copy of an early picture which has found its way back to Windsor from Hamilton Palace. It is a copy about half the size of the original of the little "St. George and the Dragon," of Raphael, which was sent as a present to Henry VII. by the Duke of Urbino in return for 100 BRITISH MINIATURE PAINTERS. the Order of the Garter. At the Rebellion this picture was sold, and is now in the Hermitage at St. Petersburg. It is curious as shewing St. George wearing the Garter on his left leg, over his armour. This picture was, to use the words of the catalogue, " copied by Peter Oliver after Raphael Urben, for his Majesty, which is dated 1628, whereof his Majesty has now also the principal in oil colours in the said cabinet room." Charles I. was in the habit of exchanging works of art vidth many of his firiends at this time, and it is probable that he gave this to the Marquis of Hamilton." The Royal collection is supremely rich in the works of Samuel Cooper. Two of the finest of them all, viz. George Monk, Duke of Albemarle, and James, Duke of Monmouth, have been already described, and are illustrated. When one looks upon the lineaments, as here shewn, of the unhappy Monmouth, the story of whose fate has been so graphically told by Macaulay, one can fully realise the delight of Mr. Pepys, who relates that on September 7th, 1662, "meeting Mr. Pearce, the chyrurgeon, he took me into Somerset House; and there carried me into the Queen-Mother's presence chamber, here I saw Madam Castlemaine, and which pleased me most Mr. Crofts * the King's bastard, a most pretty sparke of about fifteen years old, who, I perceive, do hang much upon my lady Castlemaine, and is always with her." Crosse, Dixon, Flatman, B. Lens, Ozias Humphrey, Chalon, Newton, and Sir W. Ross, are all represented, the latter by some fifty examples, many of considerable size; last, but not least, may be mentioned three portraits of the beautiful Duchess of Devonshire by Richard Cosway, R.A. Next in importance to the Royal Collection, Windsor, must be ranked that of the Duke of Buccleuch, which excited, and justly excited, so much admiration when shewn at the Winter Exhibition of the Royal Academy in 1879. A detailed description of these priceless, historical miniatures, is out of the question ; whilst an analysis gives but a faint idea of their charm. But my readers should note that Appendix D contains a large proportion of them. Mention must be made of the exceptional richness of the collection in the works of Samuel Cooper. His Grace has some ascribed to Holbein, but these are debateable. The Hilliards and Hoskins's are numerous and fine. The beautiful portrait of the wife of the first-named has already been mentioned. Amongst the most noteworthy of Cooper's works is one of John Milton. This valuable example was purchased at the sale of Mr. Villiers, of Tours, in 1850, for a very small sum, and has already been described in the account given of Samuel Cooper. Of the Protector's family, is one of Richard Cromwell wearing long fair hair, his " lymphatic " face beautifully drawn. It is interesting to compare this miniature, which is of the highest quality, with another by the same hand, representing * James, son of Charles II. , by Lucy Walters, bore the name of Crofts till he was created Duke of Monmouth, 1662, previous to his marriage with Lady Anne Scott, daughter of Francis, Earl of Buccleuch. .XLVIll ■">■, .■>■ (i U-t !k ^ §" -r; cd 3 ^ H s Cj ^ tJ fi^' ^ 3 -^ O S he 1 n are well known, and as Hertford H 1 its contents n " og tu ti ' ill be open to public 1^ ...^.„re long, it is u:i ..ary to p — ui.

The following list may be found useful in discriminating in such cases. Thus we find there were : An Artand and three Arlauds. Two Betts or Bettes, John and Thomas, their relationship is uncertain,^ they are generally considered brothers. Two Bones, enamellers, viz. : Henry, the father, and Henry Pierce Bone, his son. A. E. Chalon, R.A., brother to John James Chalon, R.A., was no relation to Miss M. A. Chalon, also a miniature painter, who was daughter of Henry Bernard Chalon. Lewis or Lawrence Crosse must be distinguished from Richard Crosse, whom he preceded by many years. Miniatures were painted by Maria, wife of Richard Cosway. There were two Collins, both admirable miniaturists, but no relation to each other, viz. : Samuel, master of Ozias Humphrey, and Richard Collins, pupil of Meyer. Samuel Cooper had an elder, and far less distinguished brother Alexander^ Alexander Day must not be confounded with Thomas Day, nor with Edward Dayes, whose wife was also a miniature painter. William Derby had a son Alfred T. Derby, also a miniature painter. John Dixon is well-known, and there seems to have been another Dixon, namely, Nathaniel, though the latter is not mentioned by Redgrave. Two Englehearts, viz. : George and J. C. D. Engleheart. William Essex had a son William B. Essex, also an enameller. Two Ferriers, F. and L., probably father and son. Three Goupys, Louis, also the brothers Joseph and Bernard. Mrs. Mary Green was no relation to a contemporary miniaturist, Robert Green. Richard Gibson the Dwarf, had a daughter, Susan Penelope, and a nephew William, who both followed his profession. Charles Hayter was eclipsed as a miniature painter by his son, Sir George. There was a Moses Haughton, an enameller, who had a nephew also named Moses, a miniaturist. D. Heins and John Heins his son, both painted miniatures at Norwich. Nicholas and Lawrence Hilliard, father and son. Two Hoskins, both John, also father and son. (Doubtful). Two out of the three Hones were miniaturists, viz., Nathaniel, R.A.,. and his grandson, Horace Hone, A. R.A. Thomas Hopkins, an enameller, and William Hopkins, a miniature painter. io6 BRITISH MINIATURE PAINTERS. There were several of the name of Lens, vi^., Bernard Lens, enameller, who had a son Bernard, an engraver, and a grandson (also Bernard), enamel painter to George II. ; whilst Andrew Benjamin Lens and Peter Paul Lens, each min- iature painters, are assumed to have been sons of the last-named Bernard. G. M. Moser, R.A., had a nephew an enameller, named Joseph Moser. His daughter Mary was celebrated as a flower painter, but I do not find that she painted miniatures. The short-lived Richard Newton may be distinguished from Sir William John Newton. Daniel and John O'Keefe were brothers, and both miniaturists. Isaac and Peter Oliver, father and son. Two Plimers, Andrew and Nathaniel, brothers, the latter inferior. Andrew Robertson, the finest miniature painter Scotland has produced, had a less eminent brother with the same initial, Alexander. Mrs. A. Robertson also painted miniatures. Two other Robertsons, brothers, viz., Walter and Charles, practised in Dublin. The two Petitots, father and son, were both named John. The father and the mother of Sir William Ross painted miniatures, as did H. Ross (junr.) ; and there was a Miss M. Ross who exhibited firom 1820 to 1841. Two Sadlers, Thomas of the seventeenth century, and William Sadler, who flourished in the eighteenth century. Only two Smiths, both sons of Smith, of Derby, viz., Thomas Correggio, the elder, and John Raphael Smith. Joseph and William Singleton were contemporary exhibitors during the last century. Of the three Saunders, George L. is the most distinguished, the other two, Joseph and R., were father and son. Finally, there are three Smarts known as miniaturists, viz., Samuel Paul, and the two John Smarts, father and son, besides Anthony Smart, and his two daughters. No doubt the extravagant prices paid for works by Cosway and others of his school have much to do with the numberless copies of bygone celebrities and " beauties " which are vended as originals. Perhaps there is nothing upon which the collector should be more on his guard than upon this matter of copies, such numbers have been offered me that I am convinced the manufacture of them is a regular form of fraudulent business. According to Mr. Tuer, "The spurious miniatures are often in old papier-mache frames, from which the once so common silhouette or other value- less portraits have been removed ; but notwithstanding careful repairs with black paper, the indications of change of tenancy are traceable ; the settings io6 BRITISH MINIATtyftE PAIN Tlieri had a son L ., .. ^ ;. ;_.. ^ ._. , to George II. ; w Benjamin Lens and Peter Paul Lens, each min- iature painters, are assumed to have been sons of the I rd.

Amongst others the writer of this warning has seen thus treated, portraits of Mrs. Cosway, Mrs. Siddons, Mrs. Robinson, Lady Waldegrave, Lady Northwick (mother of the celebrated trio of beauties known as 'The Three Graces'), Miss Farren (Countess of Derby), H.R.H. Caroline, Princess of Wales, and Mrs. Dawson Darner." To these names I may add Lady Horatia Seymour, who was a famous beauty, and above all Mrs. Fitzherbert. As to the foreigners, the Marie Antoinettes, the first Napoleons, the Josephines, and the rest — their name is legion. The discouraging part of it all is that although they are nearly always unutterably bad, they must find purchasers, or the manufacture would not continue. A word or two of caution to followers of that fascinating pursuit — collecting miniatures. I have seen it suggested in a recent work, that those who are desirous of enriching their collection, should keep a sharp eye on pawnbrokers' windows. If they look at all at those displays of which dubious China and " flotsam and jetsam " of every description form so large a part, I should advise them to keep a very sharp eye on the miniatures, if they think they are likely to pick up treasures. But little experience is needed to show that such opportunities very rarely occur, whilst there is con- siderable risk of the amateur being led to purchase works which his collection would be much better without. The pawnbrokers and jewellers when, and if they do become possessed of fine examples, quickly take them to dealers with whom they are sure of a market, and who will give them a high price, for everybody knows nowadays, that good miniatures are greatly sought after. Is it not a patent and obvious fact that their windows are full of copies and forgeries ? Whence they come I know not, and I am far from wishing to cast any imputation upon respectable men in this line of business, but there, I repeat, the forgeries are, gross and palpable. How then, it may be asked, are good old miniatures to be obtained ? The answer is, that they are very difficult to be got at all. Those who possess them, for the most part keep them as amongst their most cherished possessions, and if they are obliged to part with them, are unlikely to resort to a pawnbroker, until they have tried all other means of disposal. CHAPTER XVII. CONCERNING THE CARE OF MINIATURES. N the preceding chapter I ventured upon a few words of caution to collectors of miniatures. I trust I may be allowed to add some remarks upon the care of these perishable works of art, seeing that they are, as Mr. Redgrave has so justly remarked, " especially of that kind of riches which " moth and rust do corrupt." They have, in great mansions, been stowed away in roofs and cellars, and suffered to perish uncared for and unseen. They have followed the fortunes of great families, and when these have decayed, have with them, been dispersed, lost or neglected. More than any other such treasures they are liable to damage by fire, and their loss by this element has been proportionately great; in London the Great Fire did an amount of damage to works of art which has never been estimated, for then the mansions of the noble and wealthy were in its midst, not, as now, removed outside the city. Again, the number of the country seats of old English families which have been destroyed by fire, either wholly or partially, is almost incredible, particularly in later years when attempts have been made to warm, by modern inventions, these spacious mediaeval structures." Then, the fire at Whitehall, in the time of William and Mary must have been most disastrous, the old buildings being swept away. The banqueting house is all that now remains of the ancient palace. But there are other risks besides fire, perhaps not so obvious ; many peaceful homes happily escape the ravages of fire, and are not troubled by " thieves who break through and steal," but there is always the danger of loss by pilfering. Scattered about as these treasures so often are, one or two may disappear and not be missed, and so little by little the collection diminishes. An illustration of how works of art of this nature may be overlooked and forgotten, is the well known instance of the 87 incomparable heads by Holbein, found in a portfolio in a closet at Kensington Palace, now one of the greatest treasures of the Royal collection. The story of the disappearance of the collection of miniatures belonging to Charles I., has already been told. S CHAPTERS XVII. rURES, rust do coirupi, ! ■ -n roofe and , . ^ .: .; .; .v^u;..

Keep them in an equable temperature. I would suggest hanging them upon hooks in a glass case, which can be kept from actual contact with the wall by pieces of cork placed at each corner of the back. They must, of course, be accessible and near to the eye, or their chief charms of delicacy and minute finish will be lost. The front of the case should have a rod and curtains fixed, so that they, the curtains, can be drawn aside at pleasure, and the contents examined; but, under ordinary circumstances, their enemies light and dust, will, by these means, be carefully kept from the miniatures. Some people persist in treating miniatures as decorative art. If they are so lucky as to possess them, they hang them up by the dozen on fire- screens and so forth. No doubt the miniatures look very pretty, and may excite the envy of folk less fortunate than their possessors, but they undoubtedly run many risks when thus used. When one thinks of the dangers to which they are exposed, and, in some instances, have been exposed for centuries, it is wonderful that they exist in such perfection, and in such numbers as they do. Consider how destructive the mere lapse of time is to most things. Remember that in old days these portraits were worn about the person, ostentatiously hung around the neck, and adorned with costly settings of enamelled gold, jewels, and precious stones. They doubtless excited cupidity, and many a miniature probably has been sacrificed for the sake of its setting. In the time of the Olivers, it was the fashion to put them in beauti- fully made ivory boxes, and some of the Strawberry Hill collection, now in the possession of the Baroness Burdett-Coutts, are still in these boxes — themselves works of art, and often inlaid with ornaments. They are well shown in the illustrations of Sir Kenelm and Venetia, Lady Digby, in the earlier pages of this volume. A point worth notice in the technique of the art of miniature painting, and one of considerable use in determining the age of a doubtful example, is the fact, that ivory was not used until certainly towards the end of the 17th century ; I doubt if S. Cooper ever used it at all, and when first employed, thick pieces were used, not thin. I have in my possession, a miniature by Shelley, upon a piece of ivory which would furnish, I dare say, half-a-dozen of the thin slices which afterwards came into vogue. Sir W. Ross and Thorburn used very large pieces, with which they painted elaborate backgrounds. Some of their works would measure perhaps 2 feet by 18 inches. These large grounds for pictures were obtained by taking thin slices from the circumference of a tusk, making them flat by means of heat and enormous pressure, and then laying them down upon slabs of indiarubber, which in their turn were laid upon a mahogany panel. Strips of ivory were frequently added to the top, bottom BRITISH MINIATURE PAINTERS, and sides, until the surface to be painted over assumed the desired pro- portions. The result of this method of piecing has been, in numberless cases, that the ivory cracks and curls up in a truly deplorable fashion, the vsrarping of the wood, when not thoroughly seasoned, no doubt aiding to bring about the calamity. Some years ago, in the days of our grandmothers, let us say, when the transparent enamel backs were in fashion, adorned with devices in hair, upon which initials in seed pearls were cunningly devised, tinfoil was largely used. This had its advantages no doubt, mainly in the way of giving brilliancy, but it is apt to discolour ; moreover, being loose, it has not the advantage which a piece of white paper gummed over the back of the ivory affords. In the interest of posterity I may be allowed to add to these few words upon the care of miniatures, a plea that they should invariably be named. How often is it the case that much of the interest of a given work is lost from neglect of this simple precaution. Ivory miniatures, as we have seen, are now-a-days generally mounted on card or backed by white paper, which fiarnishes a ready means of inscribing the name of the original, distinctly and fully given, with the date and the name of the artist. Nothing is more common, and it may be added, nothing is more vexatious, than to find a large proportion of a collection of miniatures unnamed, owing to the indifference or carelessness of former possessors. Not only are the painters frequently unrecorded, but the names of the originals are equally unknown. The value of many a fine work would be greatly increased if the person for whom it was painted had taken the simple precaution of having the name of the original, and of the artist, appended. Instances frequently occur in which the intrinsic marketable value of a portrait would be trebled by identification. LIIL Margaret, Duchess of Somerset. Sir 11'. C. Ross. Jefferey Whitehead, Esq. CHAPTER XVIII. GOSSIP. F it be true, as Sir Waiter Scott somewliere says, that portrait painting is "the levying of a tax upon the vanity of mankind which could not have been extracted from their taste or liberality," the inhabitants of these islands must be endowed with a superfluity of vanity, for in spite of the habitual self-depreciation we love to indulge in, certainly no country in the world is so rich in portraiture as England; not even Italy, — for, not to speak of great ^^^ -w^jum-r-ju-—, --m m family mansions, where, as in the palaces of Italy, 6*lM«ii«aaBMifB«^^^M?« ^"^ expect to find portraits of long lines of ancestry, our own land is thickly studded with old houses whose walls are hung, from entrance hall to attic, with works (too often, alas ! unnamed) which take us back to the earliest days of British portrait art. In treating of the early painters, mention was made of the uncertainty which attaches to John and Thomas Bettes. It is interesting to find that a picture by John Bettes has lately been added to the National Gallery, in the shape of a portrait of Edmund Butts, son of the physician to Henry VIII. It is a vigourous, solidly painted example, recalling Holbein in manner, though inferior to that great master in subtlety of character, and in searching execution. The costume is the black cap and furred gown of the period. It came firom the collection of the late G. Richmond, RA., and seeing that Bettes is claimed as a miniature painter, and probably one of our earliest native limners, I give an illustration of it. John Bettes has long been termed a pupil of Hilliard, but this portrait is dated in the clearest manner, 1545, in which case the pupil must have painted it two years before his master was born. This, as Dr. Propert has rightly observed, is "to say the least, extraordinary." I have not included Gaspar Netscher amongst the British miniature painters, as his visit to this country is hardly more than a surmise, but he, undoubtedly, enjoyed some high patronage, thus both the Duke of 114 BRITISH MINIATURE PAINTERS. Portland and Earl Spencer possess portraits of Queen Mary II. by Netscher, and thanks to Mr. Charles Butler I am able show an interesting portrait of Sarah Jennings, Duchess of Marlborough, by the same accomplished hand. Sharing the fate of larger works, Charles the First's most valuable collection of miniatures, to which frequent reference has been made in these pages, got dispersed during " the troubles." When his son, the Second Charles, came to the throne, he doubtless had a recollection of many of these treasures, by which his father set such store, and although one never looks upon him in the light of a patron of art, he had, at any rate, sufficient appreciation of the works of the Olivers to pay a visit, incognito, to the widow of Peter Oliver — who seems to have been living at Isleworth — and to endeavour to obtain a number of works in her possession. The story is told in Vertue's MSS. upon the authority of Russell, the painter, who was connected with the Olivers, and is as follows : " The King went very privately .... to see them, the widow showed several finished and unfinished — asked if she would sell them, she replied she had a mind the King should see them first, and if he did not purchase them she would think of disposing of them ; the King discovered himself, on which she produced some more pictures which she seldom showed. The King desired her to set her price ; she said she did not care to make a price with his Majesty, she would leave it to him, but promised to look over her husband's books and let his Majesty know what prices his father, the late King, had paid. The King took away what he liked, and sent Rogers to Mrs. Oliver with the option of ^looo or an annuity of ^^300 for life; she chose the latter. Some years afterwards, the King's mistresses having begged all or most of these pictures, Mrs. Oliver said, on hearing it, that if she had thought the King would have given them to such unworthy persons, he never should have had them. This reached the Court, the poor woman's salary was stopped, and she never received it afterwards." Just as the Great Rebellion and the break up of the monarchy in England caused many works of art to change hands, so also, and to a far greater extent, the social upheaval which followed the French Revolution led to the dispersal of valuables of all sorts. It is reported, for example, that much of the priceless furniture, not to speak of other treasures which make Sir Richard Wallace's collection famous throughout Europe, came from the French royal palaces, the contents of which were sold by auction. Unlike more cumbrous possessions, miniatures could be concealed about the person, and being often in costly settings, would be portable and reali- sable property. Moreover, the wealth of English collectors has been a magnet which has attracted an almost incredible quantity of " articles de LTW Louisa, Duchess of Manchester. R. Thorburii. Duchess of Devonshire. GOSSIP. ,,j vertu," indeed articles of every kind, from the Continent to this country. The same irresistible attraction seems likely to make its influence felt when the Americans come into the market, and invest in purchases of Petitots and such like. Amongst other evidence of a revival of taste, one notes a higher appreciation of miniatures ; indeed, of late years their value has enormously increased, until it has reached a point which is often in excess of their merit as works of art. Evidence of this may be seen in the price paid for a portrait of James I. by Hilliard (in a diamond setting of the period, it is true) which, at the Hamilton Palace sale at Christie's, fetched no less than ^^2,835 — whilst for an example of Isaac Oliver, once in the keeping of the writer, which had no adventitious value in the shape of its setting, the sum of £2,000 was offered. In contrast to this, are the paltry sums paid at Strawberry Hill for miniatures by Horace Walpole himself, £1 and £z lis. 6d. being the most that could be got for works by the hand of the owner of all the treasures dispersed in that twenty-eight days' famous sale. Through the courtesy of a member of the family to whom they now belong, I am able to give an account of how the very interesting nine miniatures,, known as the Stuart miniatures, came back to this country. The story seems worth telling if only as throwing light upon the bye-paths of diplomacy^ of the secrets of which the general public have so little knowledge. I may add, the account which I subjoin was dictated by the widow of James Edwards, Esq., of Pall Mall, and Harrow, (then Mrs. Brett) to a friend. "About the year 1801, General .... came to England to negotiate a treaty of peace with this nation. There was some secret our Government wished to gain some private information of, and which could only be obtained through a private French family — (name forgotten). Mr. Edwards was break- fasting with Lord Spencer, then First Lord of the Admiralty, when this was- mentioned. Mr. Edwards was personally acquainted with the family, and told Lord Spencer he could learn from them anything that he was desirous to know. Shortly after. Lord Spencer asked Mr. Edwards to go over to Paris (promising him a safe conduct thither), to ascertain the particulars that the Government required. He went to this family, and having satisfactorily executed the business, he returned, and thought no more of it, till, six weeks after, he received a letter enclosing a draft from the Treasury for £500. He could not understand why this was presented to him, and took it to Lord Spencer, who said it was a remuneration from our Government for transacting this business in Paris, and that it was the usual payment for a mission of a diplomatic nature such as he had accomplished. Mr. Edwards, not having had anything to do with diplomacy, declined accepting it, only having under- ii6 BRITISH MINIATURE PAINTERS. taken the negotiation as an act of private friendship to Lord Spencer. In the course of a short time, Lord Spencer told Mr. Edwards he had something to offer him, which he thought he could not withstand, though he refused the money ; for he had heard firom agents of the French Government, that some of the neglected treasures of the jewel office in Paris were to be sent to this country. So little was known of their value, that these Stuart miniatures lay disregarded among the old chains and ornaments of this collection, which was accompanied with a written document stating that James II. had brought them over from England, and had deposited them with Louis XIV., when he went to St. Germain, intending to claim them on his return." These portraits comprise: — Mary, Queen of Scots, Charles I., and Henry, Prince of "Wales, by N. Milliard. Of the last-named Prince there is another by Isaac Oliver. By Peter Oliver an Elizabeth of Bohemia and her brother-in-law ; also the ill-fated Arabella Stuart. Henrietta, daughter of Frederick and Elizabeth of Bohemia, is painted by N. Thaeb^ and dated 1649. The remaining one is called Queen Elizabeth, and is perhaps the most striking of them all. It is painted on a bright blue background, and is nearly full-face ; her hair, which is bright yellow, is surmounted by an aigrette of white feathers ; round her neck is a ruff of great richness ; her gown is black, with open lace work on the upper part, fringed with pearls ; she also wears a locket. A similar miniature is at Castle Howard. The Henrietta mentioned above, daughter of the " Queen of Hearts," is not to be confounded with "La belle Henriette," whose portrait is given amongst the Strawberry Hill treasures which the Baroness Burdett-Coutts possesses. They were first cousins. Henrietta, Duchess of Orleans, was of course, daughter of Charles I. Talking of this lady, a story is told of a certain Comte de Guiche, who was greatly enamoured of her, and carried a gold box suspended from his neck bearing her portrait. To this box he probably owed his life, for he was hit by a bullet — in an action — the ball struck the box and glanced off, leaving him unhurt. On the other hand it must be owned a Miniature is a tell-tale thing, and has often given rise to trouble, as an example of which I may quote the autobiography of Lord Herbert, of Cherbury, wherein his lordship relates : " there was a lady, wife to Sir John Ayres, Knt., who, finding some means to get a copy of my picture from Larkin, gave it to Mr. Isaac (Oliver), the painter, in Blackfriars, and desired him to draw it in little after his manner, which, being done, she caused it to be set in gold and enamelled, and so wore it about her neck so low that she hid it under her breasts." Lord Herbert further relates that he caught the knight's lady LV Elizabeth Gunning, Duchess of Hamilton. J. G.

I say dubious, because there is always Count Alfieri in the background of the career of this lady in Italy, as to whom the curious may consult Sir Horace Mann's diplomatic correspondence printed by the Roxburghe Club. In justice to the Countess of Albany, it must be remembered that she was 32 years younger than her husband, as to whose habits in his later days, the less said the better, for was he not the last of an ancient and haughty line of kings ? Moreover, we have the testimony of Dr. Moore, who saw her at Florence about 1776, and says, " she is a beautiful woman, much beloved by all who know her." In the Stuart Exhibition there were three or four miniatures of her shown. It marks the decline and fall in the fortunes of the exiled Stuarts to observe, that whilst the wife of the Old Chevalier was painted and engraved repeatedly, (one portrait I recall, in an apotheosis with the Pope) there are but two prints of the Countess of Albany (Louisa) to be found in the British Museum print-room ; one of these, it may be noted, is after Ozias Humphrey, R.A., the miniaturist. He also painted the Charles Edward which is at Blair Castle, Athole. A slight acquaintance with the lives of miniature painters will reveal some remarkable examples of perseverance under formidable difficulties, such as lowliness of station, want of friends and fortune, and, in some cases, physical disabilities which would seem to be almost insurmountable, all these have had to be encountered, and were overcome. Take, for instance. Miss Sarah Biffin, who was born without hands or feet, yet she learnt drawing, and in 1821 was awarded a medal by the Society of Arts; moreover she married a Mr. Wright. And I have seen facsimiles of exquisite work by W. Carter, an artist who, having neither hands nor feet, learned to draw with his mouth. Then there was Charles Brocky, Hungarian born, who began life as servant in a cook's shop, rose to the dignity of barber's assistant, and, after sad privations, found his way to Paris, and became a student in the Louvre. In 1839 he appears as an exhibitor at our Royal Academy, and ultimately had the Queen as a sitter. From a barber's shop came George Clint, A.R.A. ; his father was a hair dresser in Brownlow Street, Holborn, who, apparently, thought periwinkles likely to yield more profit than periwigs, for he apprenticed his son to a fishmonger. From a fishmonger's stall young Clint went to an attorney's office, where the work did not agree with his notions of right and wrong, so he abandoned it for house painting; but head painting was his forte, and in this branch of art he at length succeeded in attaining distinction, as he I20 BRITISH MINIATURE PAINTERS. did also in mezzotint engraving. We cannot claim J. M. W. Turner, another barber's son, as a miniature painter, although there is no doubt that the hand which drew the exquisite vignettes to Rogers's Italy for example, possessed delicacy enough for anything; but John Kay, whose Edinburgh portraits have handed down to us persons in every walk of life in " Auld Reekie " for half a century, was the son of a stone mason, and was not only apprenticed to a barber, but became a thriving one himself before he took up miniature painting. Mrs. Siddons has left it on record that a deaf and dumb artist, Charles Sheriff, was more successful in her portrait than any miniature painter to whom she had sat. Again, Gervase Spencer, the most fashionable miniaturist of his day, was originally a gentleman's servant; whilst Sherlock, one of the Directors of the Incorporated Society of Artists, was the son of a Dublin prize fighter. Another curious career was that of a retainer of the Duke of Buckingham, named Gerbier, who went with "Steenie" and Charles to Spain, to paint the Infanta. Walpole calls him " architect, author, lecturer, diplomatist, and quack." He was diplomatist enough to be able to entertain Charles and Henrietta Maria to supper in 1628 ; to get knighted, and subsequently to be appointed Master of the Ceremonies. He was in London during the Common- wealth, and prepared the triumphal arches for the Restoration. He commenced a mansion for Lord Craven at Hempstead-Marshall, which was destroyed by fire, but he died before its completion, and was buried there. Among what may be termed the romantic side of the careers of Miniature Painters, the case of Sir Robert Strange should certainly not be overlooked. As was mentioned before, he was in his younger days an ardent Jacobite, and when Charles Edward entered Edinburgh he joined his forces, and subsequently fought in the ranks at CuUoden. After that disastrous day for the Stuart cause he was a fugitive, and being hard pressed by his pursuers took refuge in a house, in a room of which a young lady was spinning. No time was to be lost when he begged for concealment, so she quietly bade him get under her petticoat — needless to say it was in the days when hoops were worn. A moment afterwards the soldiers burst into the room, but finding only a young lady singing, and busy with her wheel, as quickly withdrew. Of course Sir Robert, as he afterwards became, married the lady, and she was a staunch Jacobite to her dying day. In Westminster Abbey is a familiar monument to young Major Andre, who, a little more than one hundred years ago, was shot as a spy in the American lines. I have read that he was a talented amateur artist, and a miniature fiainter. LVII. Lady Elizabeth Hamilton. IV. Derby. The Earl of Derby. ■*» m- GOSSIP. ,j, In the exhibition of '• Fair Women " at the Grafton Gallery, Lady Borthwick exhibited a ring in which was a miniature of Sir Joshua Reynolds " painted by himself, and presented to Lady Bovington." Thus saith the catalogue. Neither Leslie, nor Tom Taylor, nor Allan Cunningham, nor any other biographer of Sir Joshua mentions him as ever painting miniatures. This work must then be regarded as one of great rarity. His sister, Frances Reynolds, painted many, as we know, and Johnson writing to Langton in 1759, says, " Miss is much employed in miniatures." Gainsborough's despair of doing justice to the beauty of the Duchess of Devonshire is familiar to all. "Her grace is too hard for me" said he, and drew a wet brush across a face others thought lovely. Reynolds sometimes had similar misgivings, of which Northcote's story about the Duchess of Leinster is an example. Sir Joshua had painted her, and when Burke saw the picture he exclaimed " What a beautiful head you have made of this lady 1 it is impossible to add anything to its advantage," but the painter replied, with much feeling, " It does not please me yet, there is a sweetness of expression in the original which I have never been able to give in the portrait." By the way, three or four years after, her grace, vnth Mrs. Damer and Lady William Campbell, were taken prisoners in the Dover and Ostend packet, captured by a French frigate. I give the Duchess's portrait from a miniature belonging to Lord Charlemont. As to the Gunnings, portraits of whom are given from the collections of the Earl of Derby and Caspar Fanshawe, Esq., the story of the sensation their beauty excited has been frequently told. Nevertheless a few particulars about these famous beauties may not be out of place. They were the daughters of John Gunning, of Castle Coote, Co. Cork, and Bridget Bourke, daughter of Theobald, 6th Visct. Mayo. In their early days their fresh and radiant charms took Dublin by storm, a triumph outshone when they appeared at Court in 1751. Walpole and Selwyn's correspondence abounds in references to them. "No public event of the time filled half as much space in the mouth, eye, and ear of London as those lovely Irish sisters, who had been married at the beginning of 1752, the younger to the Duke of Hamilton, 'hot, debauched, extravagant, and equally damaged in his fortune and person ; ' and the elder to Lord Coventry, ' a grave young lord, of the remains of the patriot breed,' " who seems to have been a pedant, but passionately attached to his beautiful young wife. Lady Coventry died in 1759, and had the seeds of death in her when she married. Reynolds painted them both, in the year in which the elder and lovelier sister died of consumption. Walpole is our great authority for the strange furore excited by their surpassing loveliness. He tells us how even the 122 BRITISH MINIATURE PAINTERS. noble mob in the Drawing Room clambered upon chairs and tables to look at them ; how their doors were mobbed by crowds eager to see them get into their chairs, and places taken early at the theatres when they were expected ; how seven hundred people sat up all night, in and about a Yorkshire inn, to see the Duchess of Hamilton get into her post-chaise in the morning ; while a Worcester shoemaker made money by showing the shoe he was making for the Countess of Coventry." In bringing this work to a conclusion I may, perhaps, be allowed to plead, in extenuation of its deficiencies, the difficulty of dealing with such a mass of material, within the compass of a single volume. The subject extends over nearly four centuries, and is rendered complex by the number of artists, dates and personages to be dealt with, the confusion arising from copies, doubtful ascriptions, the absence of reliable information, and the like. But I trust I have, at any rate, been able to bring into prominence the fact that we possess rich mines of art in the shape of our miniatures, and this is confirmed by the appendices printed at the end of the book. These collections furnish students of our History with materials, the importance of which can hardly be over-estimated, and since the memories of many who are enshrined therein are imperishable, and are inseparably bound up with our national story, the interest attaching to them is not likely to diminish, but rather to grow with the growth of England's greatness. Moreover, as I attempted to show at the outset, if it be recognised that a history of miniature painting is an important chapter in the development of British art, it follows that the subject is one, a knowledge of which is indispensable for some, and desirable for all. The conclusion then to be drawn, is that we have in these miniature portraits, from Holbein to Ross, a noble series invaluable for historical illustration, and unsurpassed for artistic charm, and that the existence of these precious relics of the past, makes it incumbent upon those who have the means and the leisure, to perpetuate such delightful memorials; to see that they themselves, and, as far as possible, those near and dear to them are painted in their turn. History has been made upon an unprecedented scale, all over the world during the past half-century, British folk have had a share in it, and it is possible, nay, it is probable, that the men and women who have crossed the stage of our national life during the sixty eventful years of Victoria's reign, will, in days to come, and in the eyes of generations yet unborn, be regarded with at least as much interest as those who lived in the "spacious times of great Elizabeth." In view then of the value of this long and incomparable series of British Worthies, and works of art worthy of their fame, shall the series be perpetuated, or shall it be closed ? To such a question there surely can be but LVIIl Maria Gunning, Countess of Coventiy. J. G. Fanshawe, Esq, Charles I. The Shelley Family. Mr. Barbor, and the Barbor Jewel. Rev. E. Blencowe. GOSSIP. ,23 one answer. But, it may be asked, by whom are the works of which we are so justly proud to be continued ? This is a very important question, especially as comparisons are constantly drawn between old miniatures and the work of to-day, very much to the disadvantage of the latter; so much so, that it is often said miniature painting is a lost art, a statement which, to my mind, in the face of the excellent work being done in other branches of art is little short of absurd. The mischief of the present state of things lies in this : that crowds of amateurs, or at the best, half- trained artists who cannot draw, and whose colour is deplorable, rush into what they call miniature painting as a profession. Their name is legion. They obtain photographs of their friends, and when they have tinted them, more or less badly, imagine they have produced a miniature, a delusion which, sad to relate, their friends too often appear to share. Judges of art, and those who are familiar with the exquisite workmanship of the past, stand aghast at the result, and are tempted to re-echo the cry that miniatures cannot be painted now-a-days. What appears to be lost sight of, is the fact that to produce first-rate work of this nature, first-rate ability is requisite, thorough draughtsmanship, great delicacy of touch, joined with refinement, and distinction of style. The difficulties of painting heads on such a scale as an ordinary miniature are great. There are plenty of artists who, when they have acquired a certain dexterity with their tools, and have mastered the rudiments of their art can, if they have any faculty of seizing likeness, produce a fair portrait, if the scale be not over small, and they can alter and correct its defects, but the same men may be, commonly are, by no means proficient in what they call "niggling" work. In short they are often incapable of painting a miniature. Not that we should despair of all fine work of the kind ever being produced again. Every year sees an increasing number of students leaving our Schools of Art, not all Coopers or Petitots to be sure, yet amongst them there may be some with delicacy of touch, and power of painting not inferior to those who have gone before. Once the demand for really high-class miniature painting made itself felt, competent artists would arise to do the work. But we must recognise that to excel in it, requires a union of the qualities, by no means common, that I have ventured to lay down, as the essential equipment of a really first-rate miniature painter. Moreover, the public must discriminate, must discourage bad and indifferent work, and so do their share in bringing about a consummation devoutly to be wished, viz., the ripening to its old perfection, this branch of art, " so valuable," to borrow the words of the large-hearted Samuel Johnson, " in diffusing friendship ; in reviving tenderness ; in awakening the affections of the absent, and continuing the presence of the dead." 124 BRITISH MINIATURE PAINTERS. Thanks to the kind aid of their owners, for whose generous loans I shall ever feel grateful, I have been able to present many fine examples of bygone Miniature Painting. In recording the difficulties surmounted, and the triumphs won in their production, it is possible I may encourage others to follow the bright example of those who painted them. The hope that this work, imperfect though I know it to be, may help to extend the knowledge of, and awaken fresh interest in the fascinating art with which it deals, has often lightened the not inconsiderable labour it has entailed.
