they procure be distinguished as those of the most exalted society" (Notes on Prout and Hunt, pp. 10, 11, where Mr. Ruskin goes on to contrast with this Dutch ideal the simple pleasure in the flowers and fruits for their own sake which marks W. Hunt's still-life drawings).

1187. A SKETCH OF RUSTIC FIGURES.

Sir D. Wilkie, R.A. (1785-1841).

See under XX. 99, p. 490.

A study (in pen and ink) for (or from) a group in the picture of the "Village Festival," XX. 122, p. 493. Underneath is a scrap of paper on which is written: "Sent by D. Wilkie, 15 Aug. 1811."

1191. THE LOSS OF THE "ROYAL GEORGE"

(August 29, 1782).

J. C. Schetky (1778-1874).

John Christian Schetky (descended from an old Transylvanian family) was born in Edinburgh, and studied art under Alexander Nasmyth (XVIII. 1242, p. 455). He afterwards held appointments as drawing-master at various military and naval colleges, and was marinepainter in succession to George IV., William IV., and Queen Victoria.

The scene represented is the sinking of the Royal George, of 100 tons, at Spithead, when Admiral Kempenfeldt and his 800 men were drowned, as told in Cowper's well-known

poem

It was not in the battle;

No tempest gave the shock;
She sprang no fatal leak,

She ran upon no rock.

A land breeze shook the shrouds,
And she was overset ;

Down went the Royal George,

With all her crew complete.

On the left is the Victory, firing guns of distress, and hoisting the signal for "Boats to assist ship in distress with all speed."

1247. THE CARD PLAYERS.

Nicolas Maas (Dutch: 1632-1693). See under X. 207, p. 234.

This picture, recently purchased at the Monson sale, was stated by the auctioneer to be by Rembrandt, but there is little

doubt that it is really by his disciple, Maas; though, as it is larger than most of the known works by that master, other critics have ascribed it to another pupil of Rembrandt named Carl Faber, or Fabricius, as he was also called, who was, unfortunately, killed, with his parents and family, in an explosion of gunpowder. "In any case it is unmistakably of the Rembrandt school, and owes its inspiration to the method of presentation peculiar to the master. From every technical point of view it is first-rate. It is infused with the largeness of style, the just appreciation of character, and the glowing colour to be found in Rembrandt's matured works. . . . The subject is a young man and woman seated at a table and playing at cards. The figures are life-size, and reach to below the knees. It is the turn of the girl to play. She regards her hand in evident perplexity, doubtful which card to throw down. The man is apparently sure of his game. He wears a black furred cloak covering a gray and silver doublet; probably he is an officer in the army. The girl is dressed in a red gown, slashed at the sleeves; her fair hair is suffused with golden light. A brown table-cloth and the base of a column in the background, the rest being lost in gloom, complete the materials of the picture " (Times, June 4, 1888).

1248.

PORTRAIT OF A LADY.

Bartholomeus van der Helst (Dutch: 1613-1670).
See under 140, p. 655.

A lady of the Braganza family, in a richly painted blue brocade dress and pearl necklace, holding a feather in her hand.

1250. CHARLES DICKENS.

D. Maclise, R.A. (English: 1806-1870).
See under XX. 423, p. 520.

[There is also in the possession of the Gallery, but not yet accessible to the public, a collection of forty-five small watercolour copies, by the late W. West, from "Old Masters" principally, in the Prado Gallery at Madrid. The collection was presented in 1886 by Dr. E. J. Longton, of Southport.]

[graphic][merged small][merged small]

In the following list all the painters represented in the National Gallery are enumerated. Painters only represented by pictures belonging to, but now removed from, the Gallery are not included. The painters are given in alphabetical order, and are cited by the names by which they are most commonly known. But where such names differ from the proper patronymics, the latter are also given, with references to the former.

Pictures by unknown artists will be found under the general head "Unknown," classified according to the schools to which they severally belong.

In the case of painters represented by several pictures, the first reference after each name is to the page in the Handbook where some general account of the painter will be found. The subsequent references are to the room in which each picture is at present hung (June 1, 1888: but see note on p. xxi.), to the official number on its frame, and to the page in the Handbook where the picture is described.
