NARCISSE DIAZ DE LA PENA (French School, Barbizon) Born at Bordeaux, 1808, of Spanish parentage. Died at Mentone, 1876. Studied in Paris. Diaz was one of those who gave celebrity to the village of Barbizon in the For- est of Fontainebleau. He received a medal of the third class in 1844; second class in 1846; first class in 1848; Legion of Honor in 1851. 84. Flowers in an Oval. JOHN GRAHAM-GILBERT (Scotch School) Born in Glasgow, 1794. He was the son of a West In- dia merchant named Graham. When twenty-four years old he came to London, and having entered the schools of the Royal Academy, gained, in 1821, a gold medal for painting. He spent two years in Italy studying the old masters. He returned to London, going in 1827 to Edin- burgh. He was elected a member of the Royal Scottish Academy in 1830. He married and settled in Glasgow, adding his wife's name, Gilbert, to his own. He died in 1866. 85. Portrait of a Scottish Gentleman. GEORGE HENRY HARLOW (English School) Born in London, 1787. His predilection for painting was discovered at an early age, and he was given instruc- tion in it from childhood. He studied successively under Hendrik de Cort, Samuel Drummond, and Sir Tbomas Lawrence, the last of whom inspired him to become a portrait painter. He exhibited at the Royal Academy from 180S until 1819, in which year he died. 86. Portrait of an English Lady. CHARLES EMILE JACQUE (French School) Born in Paris, 1813. Died in 1894. Animal and land- scape painter, engraver, and etcher. When seventeen years old. he studied with a geographical engraver, but later enlisted and served for seven years in the army. He then resumed his engraving, and worked for two years in England as a draughtsman on wood. He may be char- acterized as a rustic painter. He paints farmyard scenes with vigor, and excels in his rendering of sheep and poul- try, of which he is a fancier. Medals: third class, 1861, 1863; Legion of Honor, 1867. 87. Hens and Chickens. L. METTLING No biographicaf notes available. 88. Chrysanthemums in a Blue Vase. MICHAEL MIEREVELT (Dutch School) Born in Delft, 1567. Died in 1641. A portrait painter, the pupil of Willem Willemsz and Augustyn. He entered the Guild of The Hague in 1625. He attained unus-ual success in his profession, and it is said that Charles I of England invited him to paint his portrait, an invitation which the painter refused because of the plague then rag- ing in England. Among famous personages whose por- traits he painted were William of Orange, Elector-Palatine Ferdinand V, and Elizabeth Stuart. 89. Portrait of a Dutch Lady. SIR HENRY RAEBURN (Scottish School) The most famous of Scottish portrait painters. Born at Stockbridge near Edinburgh, 1756. His father was a suc- cessful merchant. At the age of fifteen he was appren- ticed to an Edinburgh goldsmith and jeweler. His bent for painting was soon discovered, and he received instruc- tion from David Martin, the leading portrait painter in the city. His first dated oil painting is a full-length por- trait painted in 1776. In 1785 he visited London, where he met Sir Joshua Reynolds, in whose studio he is said to have worked for several weeks. 90. Portrait of Lord Moore. SIR JOSHUA REYNOLDS (English School) Born 1723 at Plimpton Earl, near Plymouth. Died in London, 1792. At eighteen he was sent to London to study under Hudson. In 1 749 he went to Italy, and studied there two years in Rome, Florence, Parma, and Venice. He returned to London in 1852, and from this time forward his life was an unbroken success. He was supreme as a portrait painter, and in 1768 when the Royal Academy was founded, he was elected its first President by acclamation, and knighted by the King — an honor which has been ever since bestowed on the holder of that office. 91. Portrait of the Hon. William Bouverie, JOHN H. TWACHTMAN (American School) Born Cincinnati, Ohio, August 4, 1853. Died at Glou- cester, Massachusetts, August 8, 1902. Pupil of the Cin- cinnati School of Design under Frank Duveneck, with whom he later went to Venice. In 1876 went to Munich for two years under Loefftz, later working at the Academic Julien in Paris under Boulanger and Lefebvre. In 1879 elected member of the Society of American Artists, but withdrew and became a member of the Ten American Painters. His specialty was landscapes, based upon the French impressionistic manner, which he interpreted in his own individualistic style. His work is unconventional in composition and choice of subject. He appeals to the more subtle senses, and is essentially an artist's artist.
