THE GETTY CENTER LIBRARY Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2013 http://archive.org/details/velazquezmurilloOOcurt Velaz dedica y consagra a la Posteridad, D. Ivan de Alfaro. xix duced by Don Manuel Zarco del Valle, # who has published upwards of forty papers, mostly from the originals in the royal archives. In these the artist is usually called simply Diego Velazquez, but in the more formal documents the name is invariably given as Diego de Silva Velazquez. This form occurs fifteen times, of which four are signatures, one of them being in fac-simile. This fac-simile is reproduced on the pro- title of the present volume. Senor Zarco del Valle adds in a note that, " He so signed himself, and so he was called by his father in law Pacheco, and by his comrades." The name of Murillo, like that of Velazquez, was not always uniform in his lifetime. His baptismal certificate describes him as Bartolome, hijo de Gaspar Esteban, but this is the only document in which that name appears. Cean Bermudez, however, has chosen to place his biography in the Diccionario de las Bellas Artes, under the name Esteban, in- stead of under that of Murillo. The artist appears to have early assumed the name Murillo, by which, or by that of Morillo, he was invariably known and styled by his contemporaries, the latter form being the most common. He is named Morillo in the register of the parish of Santa Cruz, and in the legal document by which he surrendered the lease of the houses in the parish of Santa Maria Magdalena (see Chronological Data, p. 308). By this name he is also repeatedly spoken of by Ortiz de Zuniga in the Annales de Sevilla. In the papers of the Academy of Seville, and in the documents appended to his Will, he was called Bartolome Murillo. But the highest authorities on this subject are his own signature to his application for admission to the Brother- hood of La Caridad, and his Will. In the former paper the name appears Bar me este n Murillo. At the commence- * Documentos inedilos para la historia de las Bellas Artes en Espana, 8vo, Madrid, 1870. XX ment of his Will he is formally described as Bartolome Este- ban Murillo, and further on, his sons are named in full as Caspar Esteban Murillo, and Gabriel Murillo, in the latter case the name Esteban being dropped entirely. These contem- poraneous documents are sufficient to show that the artist him- self recognized as his full name Bartolome Esteban Murillo, although on most occasions the middle name was dropped, as often happens in our own days. The fac-simile of this artist's name on the pro-title of this volume is after that given in Blanc, Peintres. It is not stated where that signature is found, but it is probably on the picture in the Louvre, No. 156 of this Catalogue. That there may be doubts as to the authenticity of a num- ber of the pictures classed as originals in this catalogue may as well be confessed. There are some that I would not on my own judgment purchase or recommend, but they have been approved by competent critics and connoisseurs, who have examined them under more favorable circumstances than I have done, and I dare not set up my opinion in opposition. A considerable number of the pictures I refer to are repetitions of well-known compositions. Velazquez being Court Painter, and especially occupied in making portraits of the royal family, is quite likely to have executed many repetitions of those of Philip IV., his wives and his children. These the King would require as presents for his relatives or favorites, and as he would find it irksome to sit to the artist for each, we may reasonably suppose that repetitions would often be made to serve his purpose. And Velazquez, rather than another, would be called upon to execute them, since he was already paid for the work, under the terms of the royal order, which expressly declares that the pensions and allowances therein named were to be in payment for portraits made and to be made. The number of these is not so great but that Velazquez might easily have executed them all. It is likewise to be observed that there are hardly any repetitions of his xxi pictures to be found, except the portraits of the royal family, Olivares and Innocent X., subjects that might naturally be called for many times, by courtiers, or others desirous of gaining the favor of the personages represented. There is, therefore, no presumption against the genuineness of identical portraits by Velazquez. The case as to Murillo, however, is not quite the same. The subjects he chose were agreeable and popular. His paintings were mostly religious, for which class of works the demand was constant and unlimited, not only as works of art, but to adorn churches and convents, or to inflame devotion in private oratories. As Murillo was constantly occupied, it is probable that, to meet the popular want, he often entrusted the copying of his works to such of his pupils or assistants as he considered competent. Doubtless some of these copies were executed in his own studio, and they may have received their finishing touches from his own hand. We are, in fact, told on good authority that Murillo did sometimes retouch the works of his scholars, as in the paint- ings by Marquez and Gutierrez, formerly in the Trinitarios Descalzos at Seville. (See post, page 141, No. 54m) It might, therefore, sometimes be difficult to decide which should be considered the original and which the copy, or repetition. All must stand on their merits. The chances in favor of the genuineness of a picture attributed to Velazquez or Murillo are not greatly strength- ened by the presence of a signature. The custom of signing pictures was not common in that age. There are not more than five or six paintings by either of the artists whose works are described in this volume, the signatures to which can be considered as absolutely authentic ; consequently it is not safe to rely on such an appendage. It is much the fashion now-a-days with a certain class, to exalt Velazquez and decry Murillo. With such critics I have little sympathy. I find no difficulty in admiring both these xxii artists. Each has his merits ; perhaps I ought to be frank enough to admit that each has his defects. Both were great, but in a diverse way. The difference between them is largely due to their temperaments and surroundings. Velazquez was worldly ; Murillo, religious. Velazquez labored for artists and critics ; Murillo for mankind. Velazquez painted kings, and knights, and dwarfs, things of earth; Murillo painted virgins, and saints, and angels, things of heaven. The one consorted with courtiers; the other with monks. The one belonged to an order that might honor princes ; the other to a brotherhood whose office it was to visit the sick and to bury the dead. The one had pensions and honors and lived in the king's house ; the other painted for mendicants, and dying left scarcely more than would suffice for his burial. Not only was there a contrast between the artists them- selves, but there is a difference in those who observe and judge their works. Velazquez appeals to the critical and intellectual ; Murillo to the sympathetic and spiritual. One fires the brain ; the other touches the heart. Each has his work and performs it with surpassing skill. There is room in the world for both. It will not do to depreciate Murillo, for if we admit that the province of art is to please, he will, measured by that standard, stand before Velazquez. More men can understand and admire him, and in a public gallery more eyes will seek and rest upon his pictures. For upwards of two centuries, Murillo has ranked as the first painter of Spain. A few admired Velazquez, but all loved Murillo. It was even so during the lifetime of the artists. From the day when Murillo finished his great pictures for the small cloister of the convent of San Francisco, he was fa- mous, and the rank he then achieved he has continued to hold. It is a curious fact that Joachim Sandrat in the Accidentia Nobilissimce Artis Pictorice, published at Nuremberg in 1683, xxiii the year after the death of Murillo, and twenty-three years after the death of Velazquez, gives an account of the life of the former artist, praising him highly. Velazquez is not named in that work, nor any other Spanish artist, unless Ribera be so classed, who did not see Spain after he left it as a boy. What makes the silence of Sandrat the more sur- prising is that he and Velazquez were personally acquainted with each other in Rome, and that Sandrat was one of the twelve painters employed by Velazquez to execute pictures for Philip IV., the subject chosen by him being the Death of Seneca. When it comes to the hard test of gold, whose works will bring the highest price ? Taking the world as it exists, and the market as the standard, the best pictures of Murillo have sold, and will sell, for more than those of any artist except Raphael. Until about thirty years ago, no work by Velazquez had ever sold for more than four hundred guineas. It is nearly half a century since the Marquis of Stafford and Colonel Tomline purchased paintings by Murillo from Marshal Soult at 150,000 to 200,000 francs each.* * The following list will show the highest recorded sales of pictures by Velaz- quez and Murillo. For convenience of comparison, the prices are given in francs. VELAZQUEZ.

Arnot 60,375 Total for 53 pictures (62,491 f. each) 3,312,010 xxvi Both Velazquez and Murillo had their pupils and follow- ers, and they may be said to have founded schools. That of Velazquez was small, its duration transient, and it exer- cised no important or permanent influence on the taste of the age. The manner of this artist was peculiar to himself, and it was not more easy to impart it than to transmit his wonderful genius. To paint the air as in the Meninas, or the soul as in his portraits, and to do this with a few bold, masterly strokes of the brush, is a thing that is born in an artist, not transplanted into him. It may be observed as a general rule that the great por- traitists have not been noted as founders of schools. Titian, Van Dyck, and Reynolds were strong in this department, and the first two were also distinguished in other ways. In his- torical or religious painting they had their followers, but who has successfully imitated them in delineating the human face ? The skill that was born with Velazquez died with him. Mazo and Carreno carried on for a time the art with tolerable success, preserving and putting in practice the traditions they had received from the hand and lips of their great teacher ; but their light was only a pale reflection of that which had shone upon them, and when these men in turn were gone, it may safely be said no imitators of Velazquez remained. With Murillo the case was different. He founded a school, and left followers whose power was deeply felt during the succeeding ages. His imitators might be num- bered almost by hundreds, and they were to be found in Seville even during the present century. Murillo's style was much more easily imitated than that of Velazquez. His merit was in representing familiar objects, or religious sub- jects, in a traditional manner. His Virgins and Saints were of a recognized type, and with Pacheco as a guide, there was no great scope for invention. What could be done, however, Murillo did. For the rigidity, and severe asceticism of the xxvii previous age, he substituted freedom in drawing, ease and grace in composition, unexampled richness and harmony of coloring, and a religious elevation that no artist has surpassed. His coloring was not so difficult to imitate, and in this his disciples achieved their success, such as it was. The color- ing of the School of Seville is what arrests the eye of the observer at once. It fixes itself in the mind, and charms the imagination. But the composition, and especially the draw- ing, are things for careful observation and study. And here is the stumbling-block of all the followers of Murillo. Al- though many have succeeded in imitating his colors with tolerable success, yet all have failed in drawing ; by which test we may often detect the true from the false pictures. This work would not be complete without some notice of those artists who have achieved a reputation, more or less extended, as pupils, disciples, or copyists of the masters whose works are here described. It has therefore been thought best to give a brief account of them, not aiming to supply an exhaustive history, for I may have more to say on this subject some future day, but only to notice them so far as may be useful in connection with the general subject with which this volume is concerned. It may sometimes be useful to know where to look for the works of these imitators, in order to compare their manner with that of their masters, and thus per- haps aid in detecting doubtful or spurious pictures. I would gratefully acknowledge my indebtedness for assis- tance in preparing this catalogue, to the owners of the pict- ures named in it, some of whom have courteously supplied me with private memoranda containing information not otherwise attainable. Thanks are also due to J. C. Robinson, Esq., Her Majesty's Surveyor of Pictures ; to Dr. J. P. Richter; to Messrs. Christy, Manson and Woods, of London ; to M. Paul Lefort, of Paris; to Dr. Oskar Berggruen, of Vienna; to Don Fede- rico de Madrazo, Director of the Museo del Prado ; Don Fran- cisco M. Tubino, Madrid; and to Don Jose Maria Asencio, of Seville. xxviii I must ask indulgence for the errors that, despite all my efforts, have crept into this volume. I have already discovered some, and the critics will find more. They are usually due to carelessness in transcribing, or to inattention in proof-reading. When the character of the matter is considered, the numerous proper names, mostly foreign, the different languages from which the materials are drawn, and the nature of the matter itself, I hope the reader will be tolerant toward such imper- fections as he may observe. No. 9 East Fifty-Fourth Street, New- York. The dimensions of paintings are given usually in the meas- ures of the country, preferably in centimetres, that scale being the most definite and generally known. Measurements of engravings are given in inches and tenths of an inch, exclusive of margins and inscriptions. The height of a picture or engraving always precedes the breadth. Right and left refer to the spectator and not to the picture, unless otherwise expressed. There may, however, be excep- tions to this rule, since some of the descriptions have, for con- venience, been written out from engravings, instead of from the picture. Front signifies facing the spectator. Pictures are usually full length unless otherwise expressed. THE WORKS OF VELAZQUEZ. OLD TESTAMENT. i. Lot and His Daughters. Lord Northwick, North wick Park, Worcestershire. Lot lies asleep on the ground with his head in the lap of one of his daughters, who points to Sodom in flames on the left ; the other daughter is seated at her father's feet with her back turned ; on the right is a large rock. Three figures, full length. 54 inches high, 70 inches wide. From the Orleans Gallery. Sold in 1799 to Mr. Hope for ^525. H. Hope sale, June 27, 1816. Lord Northwick sale, July 26, etc., 1859, No. 1686, ^147, to the present Lord Northwick. Mentioned in Buchanan, Memoirs of Painting, i. 146. In the Lebrun sale, April 11, 1 791, was a repetition, 9X12.5 inches. Engraved by Ph. Triere, line, 4.6x5.8 inches, in Couche, Galerie du Palais Royal, Paris, 1 786-1808, 3 volumes, folio. [The two galleries, one at Thirlestane House, Cheltenham, the other at North- wick Park, were formed by the second Lord Northwick. On his death, in 1859, the property descended to his nephew, by whom the collections were dispersed. The sale was conducted by Mr. Phillips, at Thirlestane House, and lasted 21 days. Besides furniture, gems, etc., the catalogue included about 1,506 paintings, which realized nearly ^100,000, being, with the Fesch and the Soult sales, the largest of the century. Many of the pictures are praised rather than described in Hours in Lord Northwick' 1 s Picture Gallery, Cheltenham, 8vo (1843). Incomplete lists are given in Waagen, iii. 195; Art Union, 1846; and in W. Hazlitt, Criticisms on Art. Some copies of the sale catalogue contain printed lists of prices and purchasers' names.] 2 VELAZQUEZ. 2. The Finding of Moses. Earl of Carlisle, Castle Howard, Yorkshire. A kneeling maiden holds up before the daughter of Pharaoh the infant Moses, who lies naked on a basket ; other maidens stand around. Ten figures, full length, life-size. 96X120 inches. Selected by the Earl of Carlisle in the partition of the Orleans Gallery, at 500 guineas. Buchanan, Memoirs, i. 146. The authenticity of this and the preced- ing picture is doubtful. Dr. Waagen attributes the present work to Gerard Honthorst. Treasures of Art, iii. 319. De Launay le jeune, line, 6.1 X8.2, in Couche, Gal. du Palais Royal. 3. Joseph's Coat. Escorial, Sala Vicarial 341. La Tunica de Josef. Jacob, in blue robe and brown mantle, sits on the right, in the shadow of his house ; before him, on a pavement of black and white marble, stand five of his sons, two of whom hold the brown robe of their brother, the white lining of which is stained with blood ; another son on the left is tearing his hair ; on the rug at Jacob's feet stands a white dog barking. Six figures, life-size. This picture and the Forge of Vulcan were executed by Velazquez during his first journey to Rome, in 1629-31, and both were evidently painted from the same models. They were brought by the artist to Spain and presented to the king, who esteemed them highly and placed them in the palace of Buen Retiro, but this one was afterwards sent to the Escorial. See Palomino, Museo Pictorico, iii. 330. It appears from an entry in the accounts of D. Francisco de Rioja, Prothonotary of Aragon, that in 1634 Velazquez was paid 1,000 ducats (11,000 reals, about 2,750 francs) for eighteen pictures, fifteen of which were by himself. Among them were the Tunica de Josef, the Forge of Vulcan, a portrait of D. Baltasar Carlos (prob- ably one of those belonging to Sir Richard Wallace, No. 135 or No. 136), five flower-pieces, four small landscapes, and two bodegones ; also a Danae by Titian, Susannah by Luca Cambiaso, and a work by Bassano. Zarco del Valle, Doc. Ine'dit., p. 621. This work has always been greatly esteemed, but has never been engraved. El Padre F. de los Santos (Descripcion del Real Monasterio de S. Lorenzo del Es- corial, Madrid, 1681, folio) devotes more than two pages to an account of it. An English translation of Padre de los Santos' book, by George Thompson, was pub- lished at London in 1 760, with plates copied from those in the original volume. J. Laurent, photograph, No. 15 10, Madrid. 3a. The Cartuxa de Xeres. In the ing with his friends. Cean Bermudez, Sacristy of this convent was formerly a Diccionario, v. 180; doubted by Ponz, picture of Job on the dunghill, convers- Viage, xvii., 279. NEW TESTAMENT. 3 4. Immaculate Conception. Bartle Frere, Esq., London. The Virgin, in violet robe and blue mantle, with joined hands and long hair falling on her shoulders, stands on a transparent globe, around and through which are seen a temple, ship, trees, fountain, etc.; twelve stars surround her head ; she looks down. The face is plain, and has the air of a portrait. Earliest manner. 54x40 in. This and St. John (No. 19) are from the Convent of Carmelitas Calzados, at Seville. They were purchased in 1809 by Mr. Frere, H. B. M. Minister to Spain, from Dean Lopez Cepero. Mentioned by Cean Bermudez, Die. v. 1 79 ; Stirling, iii. 1450 ; Jameson, Madonna, 49. [Don Manuel Lopez Cepero, Dean of Seville and President of the Academy of Fine Arts, was a munificent and discriminating lover of art, to whose labors and enthusiasm is chiefly due the formation of the Museo Provincial of Seville, the second in importance in Spain. His house, No. 7, in the street now known, after several changes in the French fashion, as Plaza de Alfaro, was long the home of the distinguished Alfaro family, but it is interesting to the lover of art as being the one which it is commonly believed Murillo occupied during the later years of his life and at the time of his death. Here Dean Cepero brought together a vast collection of works of art, many of which still belong to his heirs. After his death a catalogue was issued, in i860, comprising 878 numbers, and the pictures were offered for sale at fixed prices. Fifty of them were sent to Paris, where a sale was held Feb. 14, 1868, but most of the works were bought in.] 5. Coronation of the Virgin. Museo del Prado, 1,056, Madrid. The Father bearing a globe, and the Son bearing a sceptre, both hold with their right hands a crown over the head of the Virgin ; all are seated on clouds ; above is the Dove ; beneath are four winged heads, and two cherubs holding up the Virgin's robe. Latest manner. 1.76x1-34. Painted for the oratory of the Queen in the palace at Madrid. Palomino (iii. 335) and Cean Bermudez (Die. v. 168) think it was painted before, but D. Pedro de Madrazo (Calalogo Mies. Prado) believes it was executed after the artist's second journey to Italy. It is perhaps the best of his religious pictures ; but Mrs. Jameson objects to the bald head of the Padre Etemo as " a gross fault in taste and propriety ; because, though the loose beard and flowing white hair may serve to typify the ' Ancient of Days,' baldness expresses not merely age, but the infirmity of age."

Adoration of Shepherds. National Gallery, 232, Lon- don. The Virgin kneels on our left, supporting the infant Jesus, who lies on a crib ; St. Joseph stands beyond, holding a staff; three shepherds kneel before the Child; the one on the right, with his left hand on the handle of a basket, holds up a fowl with his right hand ; behind the shepherd is an old woman, bending forward ; a girl enters a door on the right, with a basket on her head ; in the foreground lie two sheep. Nine figures, full length. 91 x 66 inches. Purchased about 1832 for ^4,800 by Baron Taylor from the Conde del Aguila, in whose house in Seville it had remained since the time it was painted. King Louis Philippe sale, May 6, 1853, ^2,050, to the National Gallery. There have been some doubts as to the genuineness of this painting. Sir E. Head (Penny Cyclopedia, art. Velazqtiez) thinks it may be a copy after Ribera ; and, in fact, it is a close imitation of the style of that artist. M. Viardot says it should be restored to Zurbaran, Musees d ' Angleterre, ed. i860, p. 50. There is, however, no reason to doubt that it is an early work by Velazquez.

[King Louis Philippe possessed a collection of paintings by the old Spanish masters which was perhaps the largest ever brought together, as well as one of the NEW TESTAMENT. 5 most important. Besides the specimens of other schools, it included six hundred and fifty-six Spanish paintings, being one hundred and forty more of that school than are to be found in the famous Museo del Prado at Madrid. The collection consisted of two parts. That known as the Galerie Espagnole was begun about 1835. The time was favorable for the work, political disturbances and the suppres- sion of the religious orders having thrown vast numbers of paintings on the mar- ket. The principal agents and advisers of the king were Baron Taylor and M. Dauzats, the painter, and although they made many mistakes, their task was on the whole well executed. The Slandish Gallery was formed by Frank Hall Standish, of Duxbury Hall, Lincolnshire, an enthusiastic lover of Spanish art, who resided a long time in Spain, and wrote an agreeable and useful book, entitled Seville and its Vicinity (London, 1840, 8vo). His collection of drawings, which included that formerly owned by the Conde del Aguila, was probably the most extensive and valuable ever brought to- gether, unless we may except that which was once in the possession of Cean Ber- mudez. Mr. Standish, dying in 1841, bequeathed to King Louis Philippe all his books, pictures, etc., "as a testimony of my esteem for a generous and polite nation, which is always ready to welcome travellers, and which I have always visited with pleasure and quitted with regret." There was a story that Mr. Standish had once offered to give his books to the British Museum and his pictures to the London National Gallery, accompanying the offer with a hint that the revival.of a baronetcy which had once been in his family would be acceptable, and it was said that he left the property to the king of the French through pique at the manner in which Lord Melbourne, the then minister, received the suggestion. Rooms were assigned for the exhibition of these two collections in the Louvre, the Galerie Espagnole being opened to the public in 1838, and the Standish Gallery in 1842. After the Revolution of 1848, the ex-king claimed the collections as his pri- vate property, and at the end of five years his claim was allowed. The pictures were hastily and carelessly packed, their surfaces pasted over with newspapers, and they were consigned to Messrs. Christie, Manson & Woods, of London. They arrived in an injured state ; some were damaged by sea- water, many were without frames or with only narrow strips of gilt wood. They were badly catalogued, the circumstances and the times were unfavorable, and at the sale few of the objects realized their full value. The Galerie Espagnole was sold May 6, 7, 13, 14, 20, and 21, 1853, when 501 pictures produced ^27,812 \ds. 6d. At the Standish sale, May 27 and 28, 1853, the 244 pictures brought ,£9,859 19^. The drawings comprised 368 num- bers, and were sold with the books of the ex-king at Paris, Dec. 6, etc., 1852. There was another sale at Paris, April 28, etc., 185 1, comprising mod- ern pictures belonging to King Louis Philippe, from the Palais Royal and Neuilly.] 8a. Emile and Isaac Pereire.

The Virgin, wearing a red robe, blue mantle, and white scarf covering her head and neck, sits on a raised platform on our right, holding with 6 VELAZQUEZ. both hands the Child seated on her lap, heavily draped ; before them on the left are two kings kneeling, and one, an Ethiopian, standing, all with golden vases ; on the right is St. Joseph, on the left a servant. The date " 1619 " is inscribed on the stone beneath the Virgin's feet. Seven figures, full length. First manner. 2.04x1.25. This is one of the earliest works of the artist, painted when he was but twenty years of age. It is not mentioned in any of the royal inventories, and nothing is known as to its history. Can it be the picture formerly in the possession of D. Fran- cisco de Bruna, and described as the "Adoration of the Three Kings, who are painted as large as life, together with St. Joseph, la Virgen, el Nino, and a servant ; the Child in swaddling-clothes ; the background is obscure, and the shadows very strong; one of Velazquez's best pieces "(?)

Sir David Wilkie calls him a linen-draper. He combined with a love of trade a passion for art, and was so fort- unate as to live at an unusually favor- able period for the exercise of his tastes. The invasion of the French and the sup- pression of convents in Spain threw into the market great numbers of authentic and valuable pictures, and Don Antonio was always ready to increase his stores. He collected with such diligence and suc- cess that when he died he had in his house, No. 40 Calle de los Catalanes, more than 840 specimens, of which 377 were of the school of Seville. He had also during his lifetime sold many to English and other amateurs. His gal- lery passed to his nephew, Don Aniceto Bravo, whose widow dispersed it after her husband's death, about 1853.] gb.

Palomino, iii. 331. By some means this work came into the possession of the Countess of Chinchon, and adorned her oratory in the palace of Boadilla. It was sent by her to Paris, and was with other pictures advertised for sale in August, 1826. Through the exertions of the Duque de Villahermosa, the Spanish ambassador, and the Duque de Hijar, director of the Museum at Madrid, it was finally purchased in 1828 for 30,000 reals, it having been appraised in Paris at 20,000 francs. The Countess, however, died before the transaction was concluded, and her heirs refused to ratify the sale ; whereupon the Duque de San Fernando, brother-in-law of the Countess, and one of her heirs, ended the controversy that had arisen by choosing the picture as part of his inheritance, and then ceding it to the king. While it was in the palace of Boadilla it was lengthened, in order to adapt it to the place it occu- pied in the oratory, and a skull and serpent were added at the bottom, which have since been removed. Quilliet ( Dictionnaire, 374) says that Le Brun, whom he accompanied on his journey to Spain, authorized him to offer the monks of San Placido 20,000 francs for this work. M. Burger thinks the idea of this composition 8 VELAZQUEZ. is taken from a picture by Luis Tristan in the Salamanca gallery. See Blanc, Peintres, Life of Tristan.

Aguado, having realized a fortune by his enterprise in commercial affairs, 2 received the title of Marquis de las Marismas in acknowledgment of his ser- vices in draining the marshes that bordered the Guadalquivir. Among his possessions was the chateau Margaux, and at his villa of Gros-CEuvre Rossini composed the Barbiere. He died in 1842. This gentlemen patronized art with more liberality than taste or discretion, and was greatly imposed upon by dealers, who sold him, with many good things, a far greater quantity of trash. The extent to which he was deceived as to the value of his purchases may be judged from the fact that when, in 1839, he wished to insure the property contained in his Paris hotel, he made an inventory, in which he estimated the value of his works of art at 3,330,950 francs. Four years later they sold, with those purchased in the meantime, for 501,644 francs. The following are specimens of his mistakes : Raphael, St. John and St. Louis, valued at 25,000 francs ; sold for 852 francs. Do. Two Young Persons, valued at 30,000 francs ; sold for 805 francs. Do., St. Michael, 100,000 francs ; sold for 3,500 francs. Correggio, Massacre of the In- nocents, 50,000 francs; sold for 1,000 francs. Do., Deposition, 25,000 francs ; sold for 470 francs.

The Marquis gave to the world, under the title of the Galerie Aguado, a series of engravings of some of his treasures. The work was intended to comprise 240 prints, but only 36 were published. The plates were subsequently sold, and probably fell into the hands of Virtue & Co. of London. Several of them were used in W. B. Scott, Murillo, London, 1873,410. There were six sales of the Aguado pictures, of which the following is a list : 1841, April 22. Pictures, etc., from the Chateau de Petit Bourg. The pictures brought 84,261 f. ; marbles, 35,000 f. 1843, March 20-28, at his hotel, No. 6 Rue Grange Bateliere. 395 pictures and 50 marbles sold for 501,644 f.

The saint, about six years of age, stands three-quarters right, with a palm in her right hand and a cup and saucer in her left; a blue drapery covers her dark robe; her hair is adorned with a crown of jewels; gray background. Half-length, life-size. 30x25 in. This is probably the picture sold, No. 35, Salamanca sale, June 3, 1867, "from the gallery of Don Sebastian Martinez," 76x62 cm., 38,000 francs. It is thought to be a portrait of Francisca, daughter of Velazquez, who was born in 1619, and who afterwards married J. B. Mazo. See Burger, in Blanc, Peintres, Life of Mazo; P. Lefort, in Gaz. B. Arts, November, 1879. [Don Sebastian Martinez, of Cadiz, Treasurer-General of Spain, possessed in the last century the finest private gallery in the Peninsula. He was a great friend of Ponz, who says he surpassed all others in the extent and choiceness of his collection, which comprised more than 300 pictures, including works of Titian, Leonardo da Vinci, Velazquez, Murillo, Cano, and others. Besides these, he had many drawings, rare engravings, books of the fine arts, statues, etc., all of which he liberally threw open to the amateur and student. It would seem that his collection included part or all of that which had belonged to D. Antonio Murcia, who was the first to bring together in Cadiz originals by Murillo, Cano, Luis de Vargas, Ribera, Tristan, Orrente, and others. These works appear to have passed to the Marques de la Canada, of Puerto de Santa Maria, and after his death to another person, SAINTS. from whom they came into the possession of Senor Martinez, whose heirs disposed of them to D. Manuel de Leyra. They afterwards came to England, where doubt- less they still remain, though few of them can be identified. See Ponz, Viage, xviii. 20, etc.; Cean Bermudez, Die. i. xxi. note; Conca, Descrizione della Spagna, iii. 320; Twiss, Travels in Spain; Davies, Murillo, lxxxiv., note, etc. The Marques de Salamanca, having acquired a great fortune by railway and other speculations, turned his attention to the fine arts, which he patronized liberally and with taste. In the magnificent palace which he built on the Prado in Madrid, and in his country house of Vista Alegre, he brought together a large and valuable collection of works, chiefly of the Spanish school. His most important acquisition was the gallery of D. Jose de Madrazo, the catalogue of which (Madrid, 1856, 8vo) enumerates 696 specimens. The Marques fell into difficulties. His stately man- sion is now occupied by a bank, and his pictures are dispersed. The first sale took place at Paris, June 3 to 6, 1867, when 233 pictures realized 1,632,000 francs. The second sale, Jan. 23, 1875, included, among others, many works which had been unsuccessfully offered at the first sale. ] 17. St. Francis Borgia. Stafford House. In a handsome white dress, with his plumed hat in his hand, he presents himself rev- erently before St. Ignatius Loyola, who, in black dress, advances to receive him; behind St. Francis, on the left, two attendants and the head of his black horse are seen; behind St. Ignatius stand three priests in a doorway, which discloses a landscape; architecture on the left. Eight figures, life-size. About 70x50 in. This picture was captured in Spain by Soult, who sold it in 1835, with Abra- ham and the Angels and the Prodigal Son, both by Murillo, to the Duke of Suther- land for 500,000 francs. (See Murillo, No. I.) Stirling praises it highly, and suggests that it may have been executed by order of the Cardinal Archbishop Borgia, or at the request of Pacheco for his friends, the Jesuits of Seville. Annals, ii. 678. The scene represents the arrival of St. Francis Borgia at the Jesuits' Col- lege in Rome. Mrs. Jameson suggests that one of the companions of St. Francis is Laynez.

Reyna, is entering the chamber by a flight of steps seen through an open door in the rear. Among the pictures which adorn the wall of the chamber is Apollo and Pan, by Rubens. Nine figures, less than life-size. Latest manner. 3.18X2.76. This work, one of the most perfect fac-similes of nature that art has ever pro- duced, and which Giordano called la teologia de la pintura, is among the latest produc- tions of the artist. It was painted in 1656, and is described at length by Palomino (iii. 342), to whom we are indebted for the names of the persons represented. It is unglazed, and is executed in a broad, bold style, so that we can follow almost every sweep of the brush. The lighting of the scene by four windows on the right, and a door in the rear, presented unusual difficulties over which the painter has triumphed with remarkable genius. There is a pretty tale that the red cross of Santiago on the breast of the artist was painted by the King himself. The story is mentioned by Palomino, who, however, asserts that the cross was placed there by command of the King after the death of Velazquez. It was not until 1659, three years after the picture was painted and the year before his death, that Velazquez was made a Knight of Santiago. The portrait here given is the most authentic we have of the artist, and it has been etched by M. Saint Raymond for this catalogue. In the inventory made at the death of Carlos II., in 1700, this canvas was valued at 10,000 doubloons. It was slightly injured by the fire which destroyed the Alcazar in 1734, and was restored by Juan de Miranda. D. Jose" Nieto, whose portrait appears in this picture, was a competitor with Velazquez for the post of Aposentador de Falacio, as appears from a document dated February 16, 1652, published in Zarco del Valle, Doc. Jnedit., 402. F. Goya, etch., 14.4X12.3. Only five impressions are known: I.

Belonged to Lord Cowley. IV. Sir W. Stirling- Maxwell; purchased at Charles Morse sale, July 4, 1873, for £10. V. In the British Museum, purchased from Colnaghi in i860 for £21. According to Senor Carderera, Goya destroyed the copper, it having been injured by leaving too long in the acid in the endeavor to strengthen the tones by rebiting. He adds that he saw in the possession of General Meade the only impression made after rebiting. Goya's drawing in red crayon, made for this etching, belonged to Cean Bermudez. Die. v. 172. B.

Las Hilanderas. Museo del Prado, 1 061. The scene passes in the Royal Tapestry Manufactory of Santa Isabel, at Madrid. In the foreground an old woman at her spinning- wheel turns her head to speak to a girl behind her, who is drawing back a red curtain ; a girl in the centre, carding wool, suspends her work to observe a cat sleeping at her side ; another, on the right, winds yarn from a reel ; behind her is one entering the chamber with a basket ; in an alcove in the background are three ladies examining a piece of tapestry. Eight figures. Latest manner. 2.20x2.89.

The Family of Velazquez. Belvedere S. VII., No. 14. Vienna. In a well-lighted chamber are seen twelve figures which are commonly said to represent the family of Velazquez. Juana, his wife, is seated in the foreground with two children standing at her knee ; on the left is her daughter Francisca with three other children ; Juan Bautista Martinez del Mazo, the husband of Francisca, stands on the extreme left with a young man who is called a younger brother of Juana ; a green curtain behind them bears a coat of arms consisting of an arm holding a mallet ; Velazquez, in an alcove in the rear, with i6 VELAZQ UEZ. his back to the spectator, is painting a portrait of a lady ; a servant approaches him with a child. Figures two-thirds life-size. 1.50x1.71. J. Kovatsch, line, in Haas, Gal. de Vienne. W. Unger, etch., 8.3X10 in Gemalde Gal. in Wien. Stirling (Annals, ii. 671) considers this the most important work of the master out of Spain, and upon it he founds the conjecture that Velazquez had at the time it was painted four sons and two daughters. The writer, however, is unable to concur in this opinion, and he confesses that he cannot recognize in the picture either the hand or the family of Velazquez. Juana, the wife of our artist, is represented as about thirty years of age, and the mother of six children, of whom the eldest is not less than twenty years old. The records that have come down to us concerning the kindred of Velazquez are scanty, but the following facts are well authenticated. His marriage took place the 23d day of April, 1618, and the fruits of this union were two children: Francisca, who was born May 18, 16 19, and Ignatia who was baptized January 29, 1621, in extremis. That the latter died young is certain, since Francisca, at the time of her marriage with Mazo, in 1634, was styled the only daughter of Velazquez. There is neither record nor tradition of any other children than these. Pacheco is not known to have had any other child than Juana, who married Velazquez. See Asencio, Pacheco, 27. Zarco del Valle, Doc. Ine'dit, 401, 410. Mazo had several children, muchos hijos, but Cean Bermudez mentions the names of only two, Gaspar and Baltasar. His wife Francisca died in 1658 or earlier. The artist whom we see at his easel shows us only his back, and it is difficult to recognize the figure of Velazquez, who, judging from his portrait in the Meninas, was not so tall or thin as the person shown in the above picture. The face of the young man called Mazo does not in the least correspond with the portrait of him by Esteban March in the Museo del Prado, No. 779, which is engraved in part in Blanc, Peintres, art. Mazo, and which shows him to have been a thin, spare man. Nor does the portrait of Juana resemble that in the Museo del Prado, which com- monly passes for the wife of Velazquez. See post No. 261. After careful considera- tion, the writer is inclined to believe that the coat of arms displayed in the above painting is the punning signature of the painter, Mazo, whose name signifies a mace or mallet ; that the artist standing before the easel is Mazo himself, and that the scene depicts the family, not of Velazquez, but of his son-in-law with his ?nuchos hijos, or possibly the family of some friend or patron of Mazo ; and this opinion is strengthened by the fact that the style of the work recalls the pupil rather than the great master. 25. Meeting of Artists. Louvre, 554, Paris. Thirteen persons in picturesque costume, divided into three groups, stand in varied atti- tudes, engaged in animated conversation ; among them, it is thought, the portraits of Velazquez and Murillo may be recognized. .47x«77- This picture, known as the Conversation of Velazquez, was presented to the Duchess of Alba, by Don Gabriel, son of King Carlos III., whose mark is on the canvas. After the death of the Duchess in 1801, her pictures were sold, and this CLASSICAL SUBJECTS. *7 one fell into the hands of a refugee, from whom it was purchased in 1827 by the Marquis de Forbin-Janson, at whose sale, May 2, 1842, it was withdrawn at 5,800 f.

Purchased at the Pourtales sale, March 27, 1865, for 37,000 f. The catalogue of that sale says it was formerly in one of the royal palaces of Spain, but it is not mentioned by any of the old authors, nor in any of the royal inventories. However striking and admirable the picture may be, its authenticity must be considered doubtful. In the collection of M.

The half-naked Bacchus, crowned with vine-leaves, sits enthroned on a cask, and smiles as he places a leafy crown on the head of a young soldier who kneels before him; on the left is a peasant seated, and another, naked and crowned, reclining on a bank with a cup in his hand ; on the right, five jovial peasants, one of them laughing, observe with interest the comical ceremony. Landscape background. First manner. 1.65X2.25. Stirling assigns this work to the year 1624, founding his opinion on the signa- ture to the sketch owned by Lord Heytesbury. But the authenticity of that signa- ture may be questioned, since it was not customary for Velazquez to sign even his 3 I 8 VELAZQUEZ. finished works, much less his sketches. Moreover, it is certain that the payment of ioo ducats (275 francs) for the above painting was not made until five years later than that date, as appears from a document still preserved in the Royal Archives of Spain, dated July 22, 1629.

The Goddess, entirely naked, reclines at full length on a purple couch ; her back is turned to the spectator; her head is slightly raised, and we see her face reflected in a mirror held by Cupid, who kneels on the couch near her feet; behind her hangs a green and crimson drapery. Full length, life-size. Latest manner. This is one of the very few representations of the undraped form produced in Spain, where the Inquisition, as Palomino informs us, decreed a penalty of 1,500 ducats besides excommunication and a year's exile against the painter of an immodest picture. The style indicates that it was executed in the last years of the life of Velazquez. We know that he painted two pictures of this character, Venus and Adonis, and Psyche and Cupid, both of which, iXij^ varas in size, were inven- toried in the Alcazar at Madrid, Salon de los Espejos, in 1666, 1686, and 1700. After that date they disappeared, and doubtless both were in the Palace when it was destroyed by fire on Christmas night, 1734. The Venus and Adonis must have perished in the flames, for we hear nothing of it after that time. The Psyche and Cupid was probably saved. In support of the supposition that it was the picture above described, it may be observed that the canvas is black near the head of Cupid, an effect that may be attributed to the action of great heat. After the fire, as Charles III. had but little love for art, especially for the school of Velazquez, it is not difficult to believe that he parted with this painting to the Duke of Alva, in whose possession it was first noticed by Ponz in 1776. " Entre algunos quadros de Velazquez es muy celebrada la Venus eschada de espaldas, cuya cara se ve en un espejo, que se finge acia donde mira la figura." Ponz, Viage v. 302. It is also mentioned by Conca, Descrizione delta Spagna, Parma, 1797, 4 vols. 8vo, vol. ii. 236, and in Cean Bermudez, Diccionario, i. xxiii. This picture and a companion, A Sleeping Nymph, by Titian, were bought by Mr. Wallis from the Prince of the Peace in 1813, and were in Mr Buchanan's hands for sale. Mr. Morrit purchased the Venus and Cupid on the recommendation of Sir Joshua Reynolds for ^"500. The Titian is said to have been returned to Spain.

The Conqueror holds his hat in his left hand, and places his right on the shoulder of his vanquished foe, who, bending forward, offers the keys ; in the foreground, on the right, is a horse, beyond which are soldiers bearing lances, which give the 22 VELAZQUEZ. picture its name; on the extreme right is a soldier wearing a grey habit, a wide falling collar, and a hat with white feathers, said to be the artist himself; in the background a camp and fortifications are seen. Second manner. 3.07x3.67. Painted about 1647 for the Palace of Buen Retiro, Palomino iii. 335. The artist took unusual pains with this work out of respect to the memory of Spinola, who was his friend and traveling companion on his first journey to Italy. It is one of the finest historical pictures in the world. There is an appearance of immensity ; there are no more than twenty figures in sight, and yet we have the idea of an army. In the background we see miles and miles of low, flat country, here and there dotted with fortifications, and then the sea. A picture, purporting to be the original sketch for this composition, with some variations, was offered for sale at Paris, Dec. 27, 1859, at an upset price of 25,000 francs. It was returned unsold to Spain, and may be now in the possession of Senor Rosales, in Granada. See Notice sur la magnifique esquisse de Velazquez, etc. Paris, 1859, 8vo, 16 pp.; also Burger, in Gaz.

Within an arena inclosed by canvas walls two boars are pursued by the royal party, among whom it is thought possible to recognize the King, with Olivares near him on a bay horse ; the Cardinal Infant, Don Fernando, behind him on a white horse ; and Juan Mateos, the royal huntsman, an old man, on a white horse with long mane ; out- side the arena are many spectators mounted and on foot, besides ladies in carriages. Queen Isabel is in the second carriage. Back- ground, wooded hills. 6 feet 2 inches by 10 feet 3 inches. In the Royal Palace at Madrid, in the sala grande, or pieza de comer, was " Una diversion de casa en el Pardo, en que hay figuras chicas de mucha naturalidad y gusto." Ponz, Viage, vi. 54. Cean Bermudez, Die. v. 179. It was presented by Ferdinand VII. about 1820 to Sir Henry Wellesley, afterwards Lord Cowley, Min- ister to Spain, 1810-13, who in 1846 sold it to the National Gallery for ^"2,200. All the hunting scenes were executed before the first visit of Velazquez to Italy. Photograph in Virtue, National Gallery, 4 vols., 4to. [The purchase of this painting was the occasion of much unfavorable comment at the time ; and the charge having been made that the canvas had suffered greatly by repainting, the matter was inquired into by a Parliamentary Committee. Consid- erable testimony was taken, and the opinions elicited as to the value of the work were, as might have been expected, conflicting. Among the witnesses examined was Mr. George Lance, who testified in substance that, about 1833, Lord Cowley having commissioned Mr. Thane to clean and reline the picture, the person employed for that purpose had carelessly blistered it with hot irons. Mr. Thane was greatly distressed, and engaged Mr. Lance to repair the mischief. According to the statement of this witness, portions of the work were entirely gone, leaving only the bare canvas ; whole groups of figures and a portion of the foreground had disappeared; of the group on the right the outlines were utterly effaced; the whole of the centre was destroyed, with slight indications here and there of men; a portion of the landscape as large as a sheet of foolscap was laid bare ; he repainted nearly all the foreground without any other guide than his own imagination ; he was engaged six weeks on the work, and his brush went over more than one- half the canvas. The witness acknowledged, however, that he had recently seen the picture, and that most of his work had disappeared. See Report from the Select Committee on the National Gallery, p. 346, etc. Parliamentary Papers, 1853. Mr. Lance reiterates his statements in a letter published in The Atheneeum, April 7, 1855, p. 407. In the same journal, September 20, 1856, p. 1,165, Mr. William Stir- ling replies. He states that he has procured a tracing from the copy in the Madrid Gallery, made by Goya about 1820, and inasmuch as the restored picture and the tracing agree, with only inconsiderable variations, it is very evident that the work of Mr. Lance was not so extensive or important as he claimed. The controversy 2 4 VELAZQUEZ. attracted so much attention at the time, that this account of it may not be without interest. The writer would add that although the picture does in its present state show in one spot traces of heat, yet there are no signs of such repairs as were alleged to have been made. ] 38.

Hastily reading Palo- mino, Stirling (Annals, 633) and Cean Bermudez (Die. v. 167) assign this portrait to the year 1644, at which time the prince was sixteen instead of six years of age, as here represented.

From the Welbore Ellis Agar Collection. " He painted another picture with the portrait of D. Baltasar, who is being instructed in horsemanship by Don Gaspar de Gusman, master of the horse.

Cean Bermudez repeats the statement, which is manifestly erroneous, as the prince had then been dead three years. Judging from the age of the person represented, and from the style and execution of the picture, it would appear to have been begun in 1628 and finished about 1635. F.

The child is about two years old, standing, three-quarters left, wearing a dark frock and white apron which extends from his neck to the floor; his right hand is on the back of an arm-chair, on which lies a small white dog ; three baubles are suspended from his waist, one of which is held in his left hand ; a heavy curtain falls over the back of the chair ; on the right is seen an open window, and the child's cap lying on a table. Full length. Called in the catalogue Margarita Theresa. 1.28x1.00. This is one of the latest, most interesting, and most authentic of the portraits by- Velazquez, but owing to an error of Palomino, its identity, though suspected, has never been positively asserted. Palomino (iii. 349) says : " In the year 1659 Velaz- quez executed two portraits which his Majesty wished to send to Germany to the Emperor. One was the Prince of Asturias, Don Phelipe Prospero, who was born on Wednesday the 28th day of November, 1651 [sic], at half-past eleven o'clock in the morning — one of the best of his works when we consider its difficulty on account of the vivacity of the child. He is at full length in a dress appropriate to his years ; his cap with a white feather is on a silk tabaret ; on the other side is a crimson chair on which his right hand rests ; above is a curtain, in the background an open door; all with extreme grace and art in the grand manner of the artist. On the chair was a dog which seemed alive, painted after one which Velazquez greatly admired, etc., etc." The other portrait was that of the Infanta Dona Margarita Maria of Austria (No. 253). From this account we would naturally look for a portrait of a child eight years old. Accordingly, Cean Bermudez, following Palo- mino's error, says (Die. v. 173) that "in 1659 Velazquez painted the portrait of D. Felipe Prosper, eight years of age." The fact is, however, that the child was born in 1657, and was only two years old when painted. See the Genealogy, page 42. W. Unger, etch., 10x6, called " Kinderportrat " in Die K. K.

In features, dress, and pose this lady bears a strong resemblance to Vit- toria della Rovere as represented by Sustermans in the portrait in the Turin Gallery, and the execution recalls that artist rather than Velazquez.

Francis I., Duke of Modena, born 1610, died 1658. "Among the most noted portraits which Velazquez PRINCE O painted at this time is that of Don Fran- cisco Tercero (?) de este nombre, Duke of Modena, who, being in Madrid in 1638 to assist as sponsor at the baptism of the Infanta Maria Teresa, caused Velaz- quez to paint his portrait, for which he rewarded the artist liberally, giving him, among other things, a rich chain of gold, which Velazquez wore on state occasions at the palace." Palomino, hi. 330. This portrait has disappeared, for that which is now shown in the Ducal Palace is a different work. The following interest- ing notes from the Archives of Modena have been furnished by Signor Adolfo Venturi, Ispettore della R. Galleria de Modena. Fulvio Testa, a celebrated poet of Modena, then Ambassador to Spain, writes from Madrid, March 12, 1639: " Velazquez is making an admirable por- trait of your Majesty; he has, however, the defects of other great men : he never finishes and never tells the truth. I have given him one hundred and fifty pieces of 8 buen conio, and the price has been fixed by the Marchese Virginio (Malvezi) at 10 doubloons. He is dear, but paints well, and, in fact, I consider his portraits not inferior to those of the most renowned among ancients or moderns." This portrait was certainly sent to Modena, for when Velazquez visited that city in 1649, "he was favorably received by the Duke, who showed him the palace and the many curious and valu- able things it contained, among them the portrait which Velazquez painted of the Duke in Madrid." Palomino, iii. 336. The portrait is mentioned by Gherardi in a MS. description of the pictures of the gallery in 1 744. A letter of Geronimo Poggi to the Duke, dated December 12, 1650, men- tions the fact that Velazquez made a second visit to Modena, this time to pur- chase pictures ; but Poggi, who was ? WALES. 63 the Duke's secretary, viewing his object with disfavor, avoided showing the gal- lery, saying the key was mislaid. Velaz- quez returned to Spain, taking with him Michele Colonna and Agostino Mitelli to paint frescos. The portrait by Velazquez is mentioned in 1685 in the Raccolta di Cataloghi ed inventari inediti per il Marchese Giuseppe Campori, which gives the size about 2^X2 braccio. On the 18th of May, 1686, the Duke pledged un ritratto del Duca del Velaschi, with Count Ugolotto Vigarani, as security for a loan, since which time all trace of it has been lost. The portrait of Francis I., life-size, . 67 X. 5 1 cm., now in the palace, was bought in 1843 from Count Lorenzotti as a Vandyck, but it is now considered to be by Velazquez. It is hoped the above notes may assist in tracing the lost portrait. 150c. The Prince of Wales, after- wards Charles I. John Snare, Esq., New- York. A knee-piece, in armor, with the order of St. George; his right arm rests on a globe, his left holds a baton ; a yellow drapery with red stripes is behind the figure and partly covers the globe ; in the background is a besieged fortress. 56X44 inches. Purchased by Mr. Snare, who was at the time a bookseller of Reading, Octo- ber 28, 1845, at the sale at Radley Hall, near Oxford, then kept as an Academy by Mr. Kent, for ^8. That Velazquez made a portrait of Charles is undoubted. Pacheco, the father-in-law of our artist, whose account was printed eleven years before Velaz- quez died, informs us that Hizo tambien de camino tin bosquexo del Principe de Gales que le dio cien escudos. Pacheco, Arte de la Pintnra, 102. The words de ca initio mean by the roadside, but they also mean among other occupations, or at the same lime, in which sense they seem to have 6 4 VELAZQUEZ. been used in this case, since it is added that the prince rewarded the painter with ioo crowns, and bestowed on him many marks of esteem. As the price was much greater than Philip IV. paid the artist for the famous picture of Bacchus, it is reasonable to suppose that the por- trait referred to was something more than a wayside sketch. Mr. Snare's theory is that after the unfortunate issue of his courtship, the subject not being an agree- able one, Charles doubtless did not care to preserve this memento of his failure, and it may be supposed he gave the pict- ure to Buckingham, who, being chagrined at his share in the enterprise, did not prize the canvas more highly than his master. A portrait of Prince Charles by Velazquez is mentioned by Pennant as belonging to the Earl of Fife at White- hall, and the catalogue of the gallery of that nobleman, privately printed, says that it was from the Duke of Bucking- ham's collection. The Earl of Fife died in 1809, and in 181 7 his pictures were sent to John Marshall for storage. How the portrait of Charles passed from the Fife Collection does not appear, but there seems to be no reason to doubt that it did by some means turn up in the Rad- ley Hall sale. Satisfied of the authentic- ity and value of the portrait, Mr. Snare exhibited it publicly in London and else- where. While it was on exhibition in Edinburgh, January 31, 1849, the trustees of the Earl of Fife, aroused by the sensa- tion the picture created, and the lofty claims of its owner, seized it by process of law, and detained it until March 17, when it was restored. Mr. Snare brought an action for trespass, and on trial it was shown that his picture had belonged to the Earl of Fife, and there was no evidence that the Earl had ever sold it. Experts and amateurs of the highest considera- tion testified as to its value, their esti- mates varying from ^10,000 to ^5. In the end Mr. Snare was awarded ^1,000 as damages for the detention, and the judgment was confirmed on appeal. The picture was afterwards exhibited in America, but in view of the annoyance to which he had been subjected, the owner has withdrawn it from the public view. The critics do not place as high an estimate on this work as the owner. Ford considers it a daub, and doubts if it is by a Spanish master. Stirling and Head think the subject too old for Charles at that date, and that the picture is finished instead of being a bosquexo or sketch.

Don Juan Fonseca y Fig- ueroa, Sumiller de Cortina de Su Majes- tad, Maestro escuela, y Canonigo de Sevilla, was a painter and a man of letters as well as a courtier. He showed Velaz- quez particular attention when the artist visited Madrid in April, 1622. On his second visit, the following year, Velaz- quez lodged in Fonseca's house and painted his portrait, which, being carried to the Palace by a son of the Conde del Penaranda, Chamberlain to the Cardinal Infant, gave such satisfaction that the young artist was commanded to paint the Infant and the King. Pacheco (102), Cean Bermudez (v. 160), and Stirling (589) are doubtless mistaken in suppos- ing that it was the portrait of Fonseca that caused the king to receive Velazquez into his service with a monthly salary of 20 ducats. The order to that effect was dated October (not April) 6, 1623, and evidently had reference to the equestrian portrait of the king which was finished on the 30th of the preceding August. The king's order is published accurately by Zarco del Valle. Doc. Inedit, p. 393. 160b. Count Gondomar, full length, standing near a chest of drawers on which is his plumed hat.

Half length, .92X.73. Presented about 1690 by the Archbishop of Toledo to the Marques de Guardia Real of Grenada, in whose family it remained until it was sold in 1846 to M. Cou- turier. It was purchased in 1849 from M. Callery for the Louvre. There is some uncertainty as to the person represented in this picture. He is described in the catalogue as " Pedro Moscoso de Altamira, Dean of the Chapel Royal of Toledo, and afterward Cardinal." It does not appear that there was ever 7o VELAZQUEZ. a person bearing those names and titles. Don Baltasar de Moscoso y Sandoval, born in 1589, became Dean of the Cathedral of Toledo, Archbishop of that diocese, and was created a Cardinal in 161 5. Philip IV. by will appointed him one of the guardians of his infant son Carlos II., but the appointment did not take effect, as the prelate died on the same day as the king, September 17, 1665. Don Baltasar was a son of the Conde de Altamira, and was called by his father's name Moscoso, to which was added according to the custom in Spain, that of his mother, Sandoval. Altamira was the name of a title, not of a family. It is also to be observed that Don Baltasar was only forty-four years of age in 1633, not fifty-four, as the inscrip- tion on the picture states. See J. W. Imhoff, Genealogiae viginti ilhistrium familiarum, etc. Lipsiae, MDCCXII., fol. p. 222. Ortiz y Sanz, Compend. cronol. de Espaiia, vi. 491. A portrait of the Cardinal Moscoso, painted by Francisco Rizi in 1666 for the sala capitular of the Cathedral of Toledo, was engraved by Pedro de Villafranca. As to the execution of the picture in the Louvre, it seems too tame for Velaz- quez. It has been attributed to Carreno, but as that artist was only nineteen years of age in 1633, it can hardly be ascribed to him. A. Braun, photo. 166. Conde de Olivares. Museo del Prado, 1,069.

He married in 1607 his cousin, Agnes de Zuniga, daughter of the Conde de Monterey, became first Minister of Philip IV. in 1621, fell from power in 1643, and died in exile July 22, 1645. He was succeeded in office by his nephew Don Luis de Haro, Marques del Carpio, who, as Olivares left no descendants, inherited the Guzman family titles and estates. These descended to the prodigal and profligate Marques de Heliche, who dispersed the noble library that Olivares had accumulated. The morals of this nobleman may be judged from his saying, quoted by Madame D'Aulnoy {Voyage, 401, Paris, 1874), that he would be the happiest of men if he could only find a mistress as charming as his wife. The Duke of Alva now bears the family name of Haro with the titles of Olivares, Heliche, Monterey, etc. MALE PORTRAITS — OLIVARES. 71 The title of Duque de San Lucar and its estates were bestowed by Olivares on his adopted son Julian (see No. 194), but this reprobate having died childless, the title was, at the end of a long lawsuit, awarded to the Marques de Leganes, the third Marques of that name having married a cousin of the Count Duke. This title sub- sequently passed by descent to the Conde de Altamira. The Marques de Leganes was in his day a noted lover of art, and he founded a noble gallery of pictures which remained in the family of his descendants until the present century, when it was dispersed. Two portions of the gallery were consigned to London for sale. The first sale of the Altamira pictures was by Mr. Stanley, June 1, 1827, the second portion was sold June 29, 1833. But these sales did not exhaust the treasures of the collection, for 161 pictures, including a full-length portrait of the Marques de Leganes by Van Dyck, passed into the possession of Don Jose de Madrazo, and eight of the pictures afterward belonged to the Marques de Salamanca.

Life-size. Companion to No. 106, which see. The cross of Santiago in this picture is a puzzle to Antiquaries. Olivares was a Knight of Alcantara, and for that reason could not have worn the order of Santi- ago, as both these orders were never conferred on the same person. Some have therefore thought the individual here represented must have been a brother of the Count Duke, although the features are those of Olivares himself. 174. Olivares. Dresden Gallery, 622.

These paintings were gathered from the most noted galleries formerly existing in the Peninsula. There were from the 74 VELAZQUEZ.

" In 1639 Velazquez made the portrait of Don Adrian Pulido Pareja, a native of Madrid, Knight of the Order of Santiago, Captain General of the Armada and of the fleet of Nueva Espana. The portrait is life size, and one of the most cele- brated works of the artist ; executed with brushes of unusual length, which he used that he might paint at a distance and with greater force, so that observing it closely it is not easily comprehended ; but far off it is marvelous. It is signed Didacus Velazquez fecit, Philip IV. a cubiculo, eiusque Pictor, anno 1639. The king one day paying his accustomed visit to the painter, mistook the portrait for the admiral him- self, and reproached him for remaining in Madrid when he had been ordered away. Discovering his mistake he turned to Velazquez and said, ' I assure you I was deceived.' The portrait now belongs to the Duque de Arcos." Palomino, iii. 331.

Background a red curtain. Three-quarters length. 1.40x1.20. " The principal work of Velazquez at Rome in 1649 was the portrait of His Holiness Innocent X., by whom he was greatly distinguished. Recognizing the virtue and merit of the artist, the Holy Father rewarded him with a gold medal bearing his own likeness in relief, attached to a gold chain. Velazquez took a copy of the portrait to Spain. It is related that when the work was finished and placed in a chamber of the palace, a chamberlain entered the room, and seeing, as he thought, the Pope himself, he retired hastily, and cautioned his companions in the antechamber to speak low, for His Holiness was within." Palomino, iii. 337. Notwithstanding the assertion of Palomino, Stirling and other writers, it is doubtful if Velazquez ever made a repetition or copy of this portrait as a whole, although there exist numerous repetitions of the head. This is a complete symphony in red ; the face, the cap, cape, and chair are all presented with a red curtain for background, and yet with such unpromising mate- rials the artist has produced a marvel of portraiture. Sir Joshua Reynolds pro- nounced it the finest picture in Rome. This and the St. Michael by Guido are the only ones he condescended to copy. Lord John Russell, Memoirs of Thomas Moore, iii. 62. A. Lalauze, etch., for this catalogue, after a copy by Ternante in the Museum at Versailles, No. 4248. The wood-cut in Armengaud, Galeries Publiques de V Eu- rope, Rome, p. 285, professes to be, but is not, from the Doria picture. It appears to be copied from an old print about the same size as the wood-cut, which bears the name of neither painter nor engraver. 184. Pope Innocent X. Marquis of Bute, London.

This por- trait is in a private room in Bridgewater House, and is not generally shown to visitors. [Julian was the son of Dona Isabel de Anversa, a noted courtesan of Madrid. In Gil Bias c. xii.,her name is given as Isabel Margherita Spinola. When the youth was about eighteen years of age, Olivares, who was ranked among the numerous admirers of the mother, compelled D. Francisco Valcarcel to acknowl- edge the boy as his son. Twelve years later Julian married a woman of the same profession as his mother ; but about this time the Count Duke, his only daughter having died [in 1626], resolved to give the scrapegrace the benefit of a doubt, and recognized him as his own son, bestowed upon him the name of Henrique Philipe de Guzman, made him his heir, created him Duque de San Lucar, induced the Pope to annul his marriage, and forced the Duque de Frias, hereditary Constable of Castile, to give his daughter to the upstart. [1642.] The following year Olivares fell from power. Julian was also banished and, his only child having died, the Duque de Frias sent for his daughter and placed her in a convent. Julian died before the year 1650, and the title of Duque de San Lucar passed to the Duque de Medina de las Torres, who had married the only daughter of Olivares, and through him descended to the Marques de Leganes.

[The key thrust in the artist's girdle was his badge as an officer of the royal household, and Velazquez was probably entitled to bear it when he was appointed Ugier de Camera, an office which was conferred on him in 1627, and which he sur- rendered to Mazo his son-in-law in 1634. Similar keys were worn by the gentlemen of the chamber, and even by the valets, etc. (see Nos. 72 and 173), but in case of the higher officers the handles were gilt. They were constantly carried, even when the wearer was out of Spain, and they locked the doors of all the royal palaces in the kingdom. Should a key chance to be lost, all the locks and keys were at once changed at the cost of the careless loser, the expense amounting to as much as 10,000 crowns. The keys were of two sorts, one for show, and the other for use by the officers on actual duty. Memoirs of Saint Simon, iii. 1 17.] 196. Velazquez. Uffizi Gallery, Sala de' Pittori, 216.

The fate of the portrait mentioned by Pacheco, painted when the artist was thirty to thirty-two years of age, is unknown. Baron Davillier suggests that it may be the one at Valencia, but the face there represented seems too old for a man of thirty years. Fortuny, etch., 4.6x3.9, inscribed Al B* Ch. Davillier su amigo Fortuny, with a fac-simile of the signature of Velazquez. This plate was etched as a labor of love, and presented by the distinguished artist to his friend, who made use of it to adorn an interesting reprint of the Memoire de Velazquez sur quarante et un tableaux renvoyes par Philippe IV. a VEscorial. Reimpression de Pexemplaire unique ( 1658), avec une introduction par le Baron Ch. Davillier, Paris, 1874, 8vo. Only two hundred and fifty copies printed. There are four proof impressions of this etching on parchment before the fac-simile of the signature of Velazquez. Of these one belonged to M. Fortuny, two to M. Davillier, and one is in the collection of the author of this Catalogue. Fortuny etched five plates before he was satisfied with his work, all of which he gave to M. Davillier. Only a few trial impressions have been made from each. Specimens may be seen in the Biblioteca Nacional, Madrid, and in the Bibliotheque de l'Ecole des Beaux Arts, Paris.

Background, a broken landscape with scattered bushes. The costume of the Queen, and the trappings of the horse are evidently not by the hand of Velazquez himself. 2.97X3.09. Companion to No. 96, which see. F. Goya, etch., 14.6x12.2, 1778, at Calco. Nacional. In the collection of Sir W. Stirling- Maxwell is an impression with the letters written by Goya. Photo- graphed by J. Laurent and by A. Braun. [The Calcografia Nacional, No. 1 1 Calle de Alcala, Madrid, is a Government institution similar to those at Paris and Rome. Its last catalogue, 1880, enumerates forty-one engravings and etchings after Velazquez and eighteen after Murillo. Among its publications is the work known as Retratos de Espanoles Ilustres, com- prising one hundred and fourteen portraits, which are sold separately at 1.50 pese- tas each. These portraits are half length, having been lengthened or shortened by the engraver to secure uniformity. The coppers of El Grabador al Agita Fuerte, one hundred and thirty-one in number, have also passed into the possession of this establishment, and the impressions are sold at 2 pesetas each, or 131 ps. for the entire collection. Beside the above there are engravings of the paintings by Raphael, Ribera, and others, in the royal collection, Devotional pictures, Costumes, Plants, Sports, Views, etc. Nearly all the engravings now published in Spain are printed here. In 1803 the Prince of the Peace, on behalf of the State, purchased from Goya's son the plates of the Caprichos and some other etchings, including probably all those by Goya after Velazquez, except three of which the coppers are lost. The considera- tion for this sale was a pension of 12,000 reals. The plates were deposited in the Calcografia Nacional, where they are still worked, although the modern impres- sions are of no great value. They may be distinguished from the old ones by being on very white paper. ] 231. Queen Isabel of Bourbon, first wife of Philip IV. Mu- seo del Prado, 1,067. She is about twenty-five years of age, mounted on a white horse, which walks profile left ; her costume and the trappings of the horse greatly resemble those seen in the above picture of Queen Margarita. The chief differences are that the dress of Queen Isabel is brown, her hair is black, and is not surmounted by 92 VELAZQUEZ. a tuft of feathers, her hand does not touch the horse's neck, and all of the animal's feet are seen. Background a broken landscape. The costume, etc., as in No. 230, are apparently by a pupil of Velazquez. 3.01X3; 14. Probably painted in 1644. Companion to No. 97, which see.

She is seen three-quarters length, standing ; her right hand on a chair, a curtain above, and a bronze clock on a table on the right. This is nearly a replica of a part of No. 236, except that the head and neck are differently dressed ; a double row of pearls crosses from shoulder to shoulder, and her hair is in concentric rolls, and not in pendent ringlets. 57X44 inches. Gen. John Meade sale, June 26, 1847, ^£13 13^., to Mr. Beauclerc, from whom it was purchased by Richard Ford. This admirable portrait was given by Ferdinand VII. to Canon Lopez Cepero in exchange for the two Zurbarans repre- senting visions of St. Peter Nolasco, now in the Museo del Prado, Nos. 1,120, 1,121. When Dean Cepero was in trouble on account of his political opinions, this canvas passed into the possession of Senor Rodenas, whose widow sold it to Gen. Meade. Sir Edmund Head gives a long and interesting account of this portrait, and laments the want of taste and discernment in the British public in failing to recognize its merits. Handbook of Sp.

There are three bands of diamond-shaped trimming down her waist. J. Laurent, photo. No. 1293. A copy by Carreno is in the Academy of San Fernando, at Madrid. There is a curious portrait of Queen Mariana, in the Gallery of Versailles, No. 3361. It is precisely like the above, but she is seen to the knees, with a fan in her left hand, and with a landscape background. Her brown dress has the same dia- mond-shaped trimming on the waist and down the skirt. The portrait was formerly oval, and is one of a series of portraits of the Spanish royal family that adorned the apartments of Queen Anne of Austria, wife of Louis XIII., who was Mariana's aunt. These portraits are mentioned by D'Argenville, who attributes them to Velazquez, Vie des Peintres, ii. 249. 243. Queen Mariana of Austria. Francis Cook, Esq. Bust, about sixteen years of age, three-quarters left, wearing a dark green dress with large, puffed sleeves, a gauze collarette trimmed with narrow ribbon, and having a large rosette in front ; her hair, which falls low on both shoulders, is smooth on the top, but wide and loose at the sides, and is adorned with a rosette of brown ribbons. 26X22 in. 9 6 VELAZQUEZ. 243a. Count Harrach, Vienna. Queen Mariana of Austria, standing, in widow's dress, with her right hand on a chair; on her left is a bronze clock on a table. The clock, table, and chair are precisely the same as those seen in No. 236 and No. 241. Full length. 89x63 inches. This picture, attributed to Velazquez, is sometimes called A Nun, and some- times A Spanish Princess. It is undoubt- edly a portrait of Mariana by Carreno de Miranda, painted after the Queen became a widow in 1665. The features and cos- tume are precisely the same as those in the portrait of Mariana by Carreno in the Museo del Prado, No. 689, an engraving of which picture is given in Blanc, Pein- tres, Carreno. In the royal collection at Buen Retiro, in the time of Charles III. (1772), were two portraits of Mariana by Carreno, one of which is supposed to be now in the Prado, No. 689. The other is probably the picture above described. Two Counts Harrach, father and son, were successively Austrian ambassadors to Spain in the latter part of the last century, and this portrait may have been acquired from the royal collection at that time.

This Princess was the object of the romantic expedition of the Prince of Wales to Madrid in 1623. Museo del Prado, 1,072. Bust, about twenty-five years of age, with delicate complexion, regular features, prominent lower lip and chin, gray eyes, reddish hair frizzled and raised high on the forehead ; she wears a ruff, a dress with lapels and plaited sleeves, and a small black cap on the top of her head. .58X.44. There is some doubt as to the person represented in this portrait, and the doubt is increased by the fact that the picture is not mentioned in any of the royal inventories. The features appear to be different, but as to position, costume, and parure, this is identical with the busts which are seen in the full-length portrait of Dona Maria No. 245, and those of Queen Isabel, Nos. 232 and 233. It would there- fore seem that the modistes of the Spanish Court were so deficient in enterprise and skill, that two royal princesses were obliged to wear the same or similar dresses. Palomino informs us that Velazquez painted a portrait of Dona Maria in 1631 for the King, possibly the one above described. Mus. Pict. iii. 330.

Similar to No. 232, except that she holds a handkerchief instead of a fan, and the dress, which is otherwise the same, instead of a border of gold leaves, has a border consisting of eight narrow stripes of gold. 2.00X1.06. This has always passed for a portrait of Isabel of Bourbon, but a comparison of the features with those which are seen in the known portraits of Maria and those of Isabel, shows that the portrait is that of the former princess. Consequently the name has been changed in the last catalogue of the Berlin Gallery. From the Suermondt Collection, which was purchased in 1874. The Suer- mondt catalogue says the picture was in the Royal Collection of Spain until 1820, when it was bought by Colonel von Schepeler, Prussian Minister at Madrid. In the Copenhagen Gallery is a portrait of Isabel of Bourbon, by an unknown Spanish artist. It is an exact repetition of the above picture, except that she holds a fan, and the features appear to be those of Isabel instead of Maria. Flameng, etch., in Gaz.

She is full length, about ten years of age, standing nearly front ; her red hair, adorned with red ribbons, is dressed wide, but not in ringlets, and falls loosely as low as her shoulders ; the center of her corsage is adorned with a large rosette, and crossed by a massive gold chain ; her rose-colored dress is distended by enormous hoops, on which rest her hands, the right displaying a handkerchief, the left holding a rose ; on her right the folds of a crimson brocade curtain partly hide a large chair. 2.12 X1.47. r 3 9 8 VELAZQUEZ. Two styles are distinctly observable in this picture, the face being in the second, and the remainder in the last manner of the artist, whence it would appear that the work was begun before the second journey of Velazquez to Italy, and finished some ten years later. It will be remembered that the preparations for the marriage of this Princess were the last labors of Velazquez. This is the Queen whose bereaved husband made at her death the touching eulogium, "J'ai perdu une femme admirable, qui ne m'a jamais donne d'autre chagrin que celui de sa mort." J.

This Princess was the heroine of the Meninas. Belvedere S. 7, No. 15. Full length, about three years of age, turned slightly to our left, holding a fan in her left hand, her right resting on a table on which is a glass vase filled with flowers ; she wears a necklace and a white dress trimmed with scalloped black lace ; her long hair falls loosely on her shoulders, and is adorned with a knot of red ribbons ; a heavy gold chain passes from her left shoulder over her breast. 48X38 inches. Palomino informs us {Mus. PicL iii. 349) that in 1659 Velazquez executed two portraits which His Majesty wished to send to the Emperor of Germany. One was that of Don Philip Prosper (see No. 147), " the other was that of the Infanta Dona Margarita Maria of Austria. On a table at her right was an ebony clock with figures and animals in bronze; in a circle was painted the Chariot of the Sun, and within this circle a smaller one showing the Hours." Notwithstanding the absence of the clock, there is reason for believing the Belvedere portrait to be the 100 VELAZQUEZ. one referred to by Palomino. It agrees with that of Philip Prosper in size, treat- ment, and execution, and the two portraits were evidently designed for companions, though they may not have been painted the same year. No picture is known with such a clock as is described above, and as Palomino could never have seen the por- trait, he may have erred in the description, as he often did. F. A.

Nearly half length. .76X.62. This picture is called, in the catalogue of the gallery of the late Infant Don Sebastian, a portrait of the Infanta Margarita, but it appears to be identical in features and costume with No. 246, and it is evidently a half-length repetition of that picture. Purchased from Senor Lopez, Court Painter. " I am in search, as you requested, for a Velazquez. Recollecting a most pleasing specimen, a head in a court dress of an Infanta, a daughter of Philip IV., which Senor Lopez, painter to the King, showed me as a purchase he had made for 20 louis, I sent to offer him an advance in price for his bargain, but his answer was that he had bought it for the Infant Don Sebastian."

Full length. Companion to No. 159, which see. 2.05X1.15. Some suppose this child to be Don Baltasar Carlos, whom the portrait appears to resemble. The ladies or nurses who watched over the royal children of Spain were not permitted to take their hands. 260. Dona Antonia de Haro. Duque de Alba, Madrid. She is eighteen years of age, standing in a landscape, wearing a plumed hat, a cassock with bouffant gauze sleeves, and a red petti- coat embroidered with horizontal stripes ; her fluffy hair, tied with red ribbons, falls on her shoulders ; her right hand holds the muzzle of a gun, the breech of which is on the ground ; a handkerchief is in her left hand; on the right is an escutcheon of gray stone, bearing an inscription beginning Antonia de Haro i Guzman. Full length. 1.99X 1.08. Offered in Due de Berwick et Albe sale, Paris, April 9, 1877, and bid in at 7,200 francs. A. Lalauze, etch., in the sale catalogue, and in Gaz. B. Arts, April, 1877. [This lady was a daughter of Don Luis de Haro, who was a nephew of Olivares. She married the Conde de Niebla, eldest son of the Duque de Medina Sidonia, but, dying without issue, her titles and estates passed, after some interval, to the Duque de Alva. See No. 166.] 261. Dona Juana Pacheco, wife of Velazquez. Museo del Prado, 1,086. She is about twenty-four years of age, seated profile right, holding a tablet or portfolio ; she wears a yellow mantle and a pearl necklace ; her dark hair is arranged in a roll in front, and fast- ened with yellow ribbons, the ends of which hang down behind her back.

Royal Academy, 1871. On the back of this canvas is written in old writing Juana de Miranda. The wife of Velazquez was Juana de Miranda, hija de Francisco Pacheco, as we see by the marriage register, a copy of which is given by Senor Asensio, Francisco Pacheco, p. 28. There is reason to believe that this is a true portrait of the wife of our artist, painted perhaps the year of her marriage. 263. Francisca, daughter of Velazquez. Museo del Prado, 1,087. A girl about seven years of age, turned slightly to our right, in grayish costume with slashed sleeves and a bow of red and white ribbon on her breast ; she holds a bunch of flowers on a white cloth, her hands touching each other. Half length. .58X.46. The identity of the persons represented in this and the following portrait is not established, but there seems to be good reason for believing them to be the child or children of Velazquez. Francisca, the eldest, was baptized May 18, 1619. She was married to J. B. del Mazo in 1634, at which time she was styled, in a document recently discovered in the archives of the palace, the only daughter of Velazquez. Cat. Mus. Prado, p. 443. It would therefore appear that her sister Ignacia must have died young. It is even probable that she may have survived her birth only a few days, for the records of the church of San Miguel at Seville show that on the 29th of January, 1621, she received the sacred chrism, having been previously bap- tized at home. The official records of these events are published in Pacheco, sus obras artisticos y literarios, por J. M. Asensio, Sevilla, 1876, sm. 8vo, p. 35. See also ante No. 24. M. P. Lefort (Gaz. B. Arts, November, 1879) considers this the finished picture, and the following one only a sketch, and that both represent the elder daughter of the artist. B. MAURA, etch., 1874, in Grab. Ag. Fuerle.

[This mischievous face and coquettish attire remind us of the decree of that vir- tuous King Philip IV., dated April 13, 1639, by which it was " ordered that no woman should appear with her face covered, but that she should leave it exposed so that she might be recognized by her husband, relatives, etc., for the veils then worn con- cealed infinite wickedness, as we see in the comedies of that age.

Velazquez, during his life, was in the receipt of the following emoluments and salaries, which were bestowed on him by the King : 1623. October 6. The King orders him to be paid 20 ducats per month besides medical attendance, apothecaries' bills, and lodgings, being, per year 240 ducats. He is also allowed for expenses of removing his family to Madrid, 300 ducats. 1626. He receives a second pension, for which a dispensation from the Pope is required 300 " He is assigned apartments in the Treasury buildings ; estimated value 200 " 1627. He is appointed Ugier de Camara, with a salary of 12 reals per day, being, per year, about 400 " This office he surrendered in 1634 to Mazo. He is allowed for dress 90 " 1640. He receives another pension of 500 ducats, which in 1648 is increased to 700 " 1652. He is appointed Aposentador del Rey, with a salary of 3,000 " His salary as Superintendent of the Public Works was. . . 720 " He was also appointed Alguazil de la Corte (Bailiff), an office worth 4,000 " Ayuda de Costa 50 " Escrivano (Notary) 6,000 " The value of the ducat at that time was 1 1 reals, about 2 francs 75 c. It does not appear whether the three last named offices were worth the sums specified annually, or in gross. Besides the above he was in receipt of sundry presents from the King, from Olivares, and from others. His son-in-law, Mazo, and his grandchildren also received favors from the King, and three appointments, worth 3,000 ducats, were bestowed on his father. It would seem that Velazquez filled the posts of Alguazil de la Corte, Ayuda de Guardaropa, Ayuda de Camara, Superintendent of the works of the royal palaces, Aposentador del Rey, and Notary, besides that of Ugier de Camara, which he sur- rendered to his son-in-law Mazo. If there were duties appertaining to all these offices, as we know there were to some of them, we need not wonder that he had so little time for the easel, and that he left so few authentic pictures.

On the left three angels advance hab- ited as pilgrims, and bearing staves ; the turbaned Patriarch, kneel- ing before them, with both hands points to his house behind him on the right, which he invites them to enter. Landscape on the left. Companion to St. Peter in Prison, No. 378. Size, 93 inches high by 102 inches wide. About 166 1 the Hospital of San Jorge, called La Caridad, at Seville, having fallen into decay, Don Miguel de Maiiara Vicentelo de Leca, Knight of the order of Calatrava, devoted himself to the work of restoring and decorating it, and up to the time of his death in 1674, he had raised and expended for that purpose a sum exceeding 500,000 ducats. Murillo became a member of the Brotherhood of the Hospital on the fourteenth day of June, 1665 (Tubino, p. 90, note), and he was soon afterwards called upon to adorn the walls of its church with eight large pictures which he executed between the years 1670 and 1674. These works of the riper years of the artist have always been esteemed as among his noblest efforts ; and for n6 MURILLO. grandeur of style, harmony of color, and grace of composition, it would be difficult to name an equal number of pictures by any artist that could surpass them. They were arranged on the walls of the church in the following order : On the Gospel side : On the Epistle side : Moses Striking the Rock. Still in the Caridad (No. 14). The Prodigal Son's Return. Stafford House (No. 193). Abraham and the Angels. Stafford House (No. 1). San Juan de Dios. In the Caridad (No. 339). Miracle of the Loaves and Fishes. Still in the Caridad (No. 180). Christ Healing the Paralytic. George Tomline, Esq. (No. 182). St. Peter in Prison. Hermitage (No. 378). St. Elizabeth of Hungary. Academy of S. Fernando (No. 274). Besides these he painted three smaller pictures that still adorn the altars of that church. The Annunciation (No. 63). The Infant Jesus (No. 164). The Infant St. John (No. 317). For the eight large pictures Murillo received in 1674 as follows : for the Moses, 13,300 reals; for the Loaves and Fishes, 15,975 reals; for the Prodigal, Abraham, the Paralytic, and St. Peter, 32,000 reals ; for the San Juan de Dios and St. Eliza- beth, 16,840 reals, making in all, 78,115 reals vetton, or a little less than 20,000 francs. The "admirable pictures by Murillo " in the Caridad were mentioned in the life-time of the artist by Ortiz de Zuniga, Annates de Sevilla, Madrid, 1677, fol. p. 767. A long and interesting account of them is given by Cean Bermudez, Carta, pp. 74-88, which has been followed by Stirling, Annals, 852, etc. See also Palo- mino, Mitseo Pictorico, iii. 422, and Ponz, Viage, ix. 147. A lithograph in Stirling's Annats, p. 855, shows the interior of the church with the San Juan de Dios and the Moses in position. Five of these masterpieces were " conveyed " by Marshal Soult, who was so keen a man of business that he was always able to defend his title to them, and none of the pictures found in his possession at the Peace were restored to Spain. In 1823 the Marshal consulted Mr. Buchanan with reference to the sale of his entire gallery of paintings. The difficulty of finding a purchaser for so valuable a collection in one lot was set before him, and the suggestion was made that eight of the principal works by Murillo might be sold if a separate value were fixed upon them. To this, after some hesitation, the Marshal consented, and the proposition was communicated to the British Government and to a few amateurs, but without result. These eight pictures were the Prodigal, the Paralytic, Abraham, and St. Peter, above mentioned, with the Immaculate Conception (No. 29, now in the Louvre), the Virgin and Child (No. 79, Lord Overstone), the Birth of the Virgin (No. 55, now in the Louvre), and St. Augustine, then called St. Isidore (No. 258, George Tomline, Esq. ). For the first four of these an English amateur made an offer of 400,000 francs, which was declined. Buchanan, Memoirs, i. 43, 346, etc. OLD TESTAMENT. 117 In 1830 M. Soult was on the point of selling to King Louis Philippe the Immaculate Conception, Abraham, and the Prodigal, together with St. Francis Bor- gia (see Velazquez No. 17), for 500,000 francs; the negotiation was, however, broken off, and in 1835 the Duke of Sutherland purchased the three pictures last named for that sum. See V Illustration, May 31, 1852. The paintings in the Caridad, on account of their position on the walls of the church, were somewhat inaccessible, and copies are very rare ; but an old copy of this work, perhaps that which was formerly in the convent of St. Augustine, at Seville (see No. 254), was sold at the Marquis of Lansdowne sale, March 20, 1806. Exhibited at the British Institution, London, 1836. Engraved in outline in Reveil, Musee de Peinture, iv. 271. 2. Abraham and the Three Angels. Duke of Norfolk, London.

The Marques de Villa- Manrique, Protector of the Academy which Murillo founded at Seville, determined to have a series of historical paintings illustrating the life of David by Murillo, of which the landscapes should be by Ignacio Iriarte, who excelled in that branch of Art. Murillo wished Ignacio to paint the landscapes, when he would put in the figures, but the other insisted that Murillo should paint the figures first. Wearied with the dispute, Murillo said that if Iriarte thought his assistance necessary in the landscapes he was mistaken, and so he painted the pict- ures alone, — landscapes as well as histories, — a remarkable thing for him. The Marques took these pictures to Madrid. Palomino, Mus. Pict., iii. 424. To this story Cumberland adds that Murillo substituted the life of Jacob for that of David, and that the series, consisting of five grand compositions, the finest he has ever seen of Murillo, then belonged to the Marquis of Santiago. He praises them warmly, and says he would prefer them before any canvases he had ever seen, except the Venus of Titian. Anecdotes, ii. 101, 124. According to the Grosvenor House catalogue these paintings were selected by General Sebastiani as part of the contributions levied when the French army occu- pied Madrid. But Mr. Buchanan's account is that the Santiago pictures, includ- ing, besides the series above mentioned, the Virgin and Child, now belonging to Lord Overstone (No. 95), and a Holy Family (146a) were bought for him by G. Augustus Wallis in Madrid, in 1808. This canvas was valued at 3,000 guineas, and was sold to the Marquis of Westminster for two Claudes, a Poussin, and £1,200 in money. Buchanan, Memoirs, ii. 221, 228. OLD TESTAMENT. 121 The five Santiago pictures cannot be satisfactorily identified, but it is probable that one of them is in Grosvenor House, two in Hermitage (Nos. 6 and 7), and one belongs to Sir John Hardy (No. 9).

The Capuchin Convent, outside the Cordova Gate, at Seville, was considered, on account of the paintings by Murillo which it contained, the richest and most highly adorned of any temple of that order. These pictures were executed not later than 1676, as Diego Ortiz de Zuniga mentions the admirable pictures del famoso IMMACULATE CONCEPTION. 125 Morillo in that convent. Annales de Sevilla, Madrid, 1677, P« 733- As they are in the latest and best manner of the artist, they could not have been painted much earlier than that date. They remained in the convent until 1810, when, on the approach of the French, they were transferred to the Chapter of the Cathedral, at whose cost they were packed up and sent for safety to Gibraltar. There they remained until they were returned to Seville in 1813. In payment for the expenses incurred on their behalf, the friars presented to the Cathedral the Guardian Angel, which is now in the Metropolitan Church. The St. Michael and the Sania Faz have disappeared ; in what manner, is not known. The remaining pictures, except the Porciunculo, were in the convent until its suppression in 1835, when they were again transferred to the Cathedral, and subsequently, in 1840, were deposited in the Museo Provincial, which was opened in that year in the suppressed convent of Nuestra Seiiora de la Merced. Ten pictures composed the retablo of the high altar, a vast structure about thirty feet high, and about twenty-five feet broad, which completely filled the end of the nave. The disposition of these paintings was as follows : See Ponz, Viage, ix. 138. Cean Bermudez, Carta, 88. Gonzalez de Leon, ii. 258.

The Vir- gin, standing in the hollow of a crescent with two horns, looks up to her left ; her right hand covers the thumb and first two fingers of the left hand on her breast ; her mantle falls full on her left, but only a small portion is seen on her right, where it is held up by a cherub at her feet. About twenty-one cherubs and ten heads are seen, none of whom have flowers, etc. ; the group of three cherubs in the right upper corner, one of whom holds a scarf, is repeated in No. 19. 2.74X 1.90. The close friendship existing between Murillo and Don Justino Neve, a canon of the Cathedral, and a zealous agent in the construction and embellishment of the Hospital de los Venerables Sacerdotes, led to the employment of the artist in 1678, to paint for that Hospital three excellent pictures. In the first retablo on the right on entering, was St. Peter Weeping, wherein Ribera was outdone in suavity and ten- derness (No. 376). Near the door of the sacristy was a Conception, superior to anything by his hand in Seville for color and claro-obscuro. In the refectory was the Virgin seated on a transparent cloud with her divine Son, who is distributing rolls of bread which are supplied to him from a basket by youthful angels to three priests seen at half length (No. 113). In the ante-refectory was a portrait of Canon Neve with a dog, which seemed alive (No. 470). Cean, Carta, 93; Ponz, ix. 123. Mentioned also in Palomino, iii. 422. The first two, and probably the third of these canvases, were acquired by Mar- shal Soult, and their history is not less interesting as objects of commerce than as works of art. The Conception was one of the eight works which M. Soult employed Mr. Buchanan to try to sell in 1823, at which time it was valued at 250,000 francs. Again, in 1830, the owner was on the point of selling it with others to the Louvre. See ante No. 1. In 1835 it was with the St. Peter in Prison (378^), and Christ Healing the Paralytic (182), actually sold to the government for 500,000 francs, but the sale was cancelled, and the pictures, which had been removed to the Louvre, were returned to their owner. At last came the day which placed this canvas on the pinnacle of fame. At the Soult sale, May 19, 21, 22, 1852, it achieved the glory of selling for a higher price than was ever realized for a work of art before or since. The competitors were at first the Emperor of Russia, the Queen of Spain, and the Marquis of Hertford. The National Gallery of London could hardly be counted in the race, for, although the trustees had authorized Mr. Woodburn to purchase it if he found it in good con- 17 130 MURILLO. dition, yet they limited their price to ^"5,000. When the biddings reached 500,000 francs, the French government took part in the contest, and finally carried off the prize at the unprecedented figure of 586,000 francs, or 615,300 francs including the government tax of five per cent. The Countess of Roseberry is said to have a study, signed and dated 1664. It was brought from Spain by Baron Taylor, and sold at his sale by Sotheby and Wil- kinson, June 17, 1853, to the present owner, who exhibited it at the Grosvenor Gallery in 1877, No. 1143. A copy of the picture by Clemente de Torres is in the Cathedral at Cadiz, but many of the cherubs are omitted. A. Lefevre, line, 25.5x18, 1859. Burdet, line, 17x12. L. Massard, line, 12.7x8.8.

This is one of the pictures taken by Marshal Soult from the church of Santa Maria la Blanca at Seville. By some means it came into the possession of M. Lom, from whom it was purchased for the Louvre in 181 7 for 6,000 francs. It was originally like all the rest of the S. M. la Blanca pictures, except the Last Supper, semicircular, but it has been enlarged, and is now rectangular. The church of Santa Maria de las Nieves, commonly known as Santa Maria la Blanca, being finished in 1656, Don Justino Neve y Yevenes, prebendary of the Cathedral, and a great friend of Murillo, employed the artist to paint for that church four semicircular pictures, two for the nave, and two for the aisles. The first two relate to the Dream of the Roman Senator and his Wife (Nos. 229, 230). That on the wall of the nave on the Gospel side was the Conception with some priests at half length at the Virgin's feet. On the Epistle side was Faith holding the Eucharist, which several persons, also at half length, are adoring (231). To this epoch also belong Una Do/o?vsa y un San Juan Evangelista in the chapel of the sagrario (227c). Cean Bermudez, Carta, 62. The pictures by Murillo in this church were mentioned in the life-time of the artist by Ortiz de Zuniga, Annales, p. 871, Madrid, 1677, fol. Another work, not mentioned by Cean, is the Last Supper (No. 194), at the end of the nave on the Gospel side. IMMACULATE CONCEPTION. Cean Bermudez, in the Carta, p. 62, gives 1656 as the date of the completion of the church of S. M. la Blanca. In the Diccionario, ii. 52, he says these pictures were executed in 1665.

Second manner. 1.84X3.60. Painted in 1655, for the Cathedral of Seville. " It is one of the most graceful of Murillo's paintings, and displays all the softness and delicacy of his second manner. The bare left arm of a woman in front excited the jealousy of the Sevillian women by its roundness, beauty of shape, and rosy complexion." Cean, Carta 59. On the arrival of Soult at Seville this painting and the Flight (?) were con- cealed by the Chapter, but a traitor informed the Marshal, who sent to beg them as a present, hinting that if refused he would take them by force. (Toreno, xx.). The worthy Marshal, one day showing Col. Gurwood his collection at Paris, stopped opposite a Murillo and said, " I very much value that specimen, as it saved the lives of two estimable persons." An aide-de-camp whispered, " He threatened to have both shot on the spot unless they gave up the picture." ¥ox& y Handbook, 180. The anecdote probably refers to this canvas. This is one of the eight pictures which Mr. Buchanan endeavored to sell in England in 1823. See ante No. 1. It was offered in the Soult sale, 1852, and bid in at 90,000 francs.

Round top. 91X64 inches. Formerly an altar-piece in a church in Seville, whence it was taken by Marshal Soult. While yet in Spain, thieves gained access to the place where it was stored, but not being able to remove the picture entire, they cut out and carried away the centre portion, about 40x30 inches in size, containing the half-length figure of the Virgin with the Child. This fragment found its way to England, and was pur- chased by Mr. Gray of Harringhay House, from whom Lord Overstone acquired it. The mutilated remainder of the canvas was taken by Soult to Paris, where the stolen part was replaced by a copy by Lejeune. This artist afterwards visited England with instructions from the Marshal to find the stolen fragment and to purchase it, if MURILLO. possible, but Lord Overstone was unwilling to part with it. At the Soult sale, 1852, the picture, then called La Vierge Coupee, was bid in at 5,000 francs. Three years later it was purchased from the Marshal's heirs by the present owner through the agency of Sir Charles Eastlake, and the two portions were skillfully reunited after a separation of more than forty years. This is one of the eight pictures which Mar- shal Soult endeavored to dispose of in England through Mr. Buchanan. See No. 1. British Institution, 1863. Mr. Wornum considers it perhaps the most beautiful of all Murillo's pictures of this class. Epochs of Painting, 393. Leroux, line, 25.4X19.5, 1845. Maggi, litho., 14.2X11.7, reversed. 80.

The picture described in the will is not mentioned in the unfinished inventory of Murillo's effects, made the next day after the will was executed.

There is a popular tradition that while Murillo was employed in the convent he formed a friendship with a lay brother who served him as cook. At the conclusion of the artist's labors this friar begged for some trifling memorial of his art. The painter replied that he had no canvas remaining, whereupon the ready cook offered him the napkin, servilleta,he had used at dinner, which before evening was covered with this charming picture. The story is doubtful; a similar one is told concerning a Head of Christ, in Davies. Murillo, 35, note. [Captain Davies says he purchased from D. Manuel de Leyra a Virgin and Child, now in the possession of Mr. Ball, but which had been for many years in the family of a General Officer of Artillery. The subject is the same as the above, but it is painted considerably below the knees. Murillo, lxxxv.

The first of these was in Claudius Tarral sale, June II, 1847, " engraved," ^53. [Cardinal Fesch, uncle of Napoleon I., was in 1796 a commissaire of the armies in Italy, when he began to collect works 21 of art, many of which were presented to him by the reigning houses of the Pen- insula, in the hope of securing the favor of the young general who was then com- mencing his meteor-like career. At the time of the abdication of the Emperor, in 1 8 14, the Cardinal's house, in rue de la Chaussee d'Antin, Paris, contained 1,600 paintings, besides marbles, bronzes, etc. Some of the pictures, and most of the other objects were sold at the sale of M * * * (Fesch), at Paris, June 17, 1816, and following days. The greater part of the paintings were from time to time removed to Rome, where the work of collecting was prosecuted with such zeal, that his Eminence was reported to have died possessed of 14,000 pictures, besides those called his gallery. Allow- ing a wide margin for exaggeration, it is beyond doubt that his collection was by far the largest ever owned by one man. Unfortunately its quality did not corre- spond with its extent, for, although its owner valued it at 20,000,000 francs, and had been offered 5,000,000 francs for it, yet, when it came to be sold, it realized only 2,000,000 francs. It was said that the Cardinal gave orders to his steward to purchase every painting that was offered at 2 pauls or less — about 1 franc 80 c. Some of the pictures passed into the possession of Lucien Bonaparte, Prince of Canino ; others were inherited by Joseph Bonaparte, the Cardinal's legatee, who gave some 700 to form a public gal- lery at Ajaccio, Corsica. The remainder were dispersed in several sales held at the palace of the Cardinal in Rome, after his death, under the superintendence of M. George, the well-known expert from Paris. A catalogue was printed in 1841, 4to, before the owner's death. It is a French translation of that prepared by Camuccini and others, and enumerates 3,332 pictures, with the sizes in feet and inches. The following sales have been MURILLO. held.

Carlos Francisco Colarte." Cean Bermudez, Die. ii. 57. Mr. Buchanan says he employed Mr. Campbell to go out to Cadiz during the war in Spain [about 1810] for the purpose of acquiring some fine pictures by Murillo which were at Seville, one of which, a picture of the Virgin, the Infant Saviour, and St. Joseph, Mr. Campbell obtained through a relative of his in that country. This capital picture was in the possession of T. B. H. Owen, Esq. Memoirs, ii. 202. The painting was purchased from Mr. Owen in 1837 with Rubens' Brazen Serpent for ,£7,350 for the National Gallery. Cean Bermudez (Die. iv. 278) mentions an old copy formerly considered an original, belonging to D. Francisco de Bruna, at Seville, painted by Josef de Rubira, one of the most skill- ful of the copyists of Murillo. In 1846 some clergymen of the Church of England requested the Trustees of the National Gallery to receive a deputation for the purpose of stating their objections to the representation of the Eternal Father in some of the pictures of the gallery, but the trustees declined to listen to them. A petition was then prepared for pres- entation to the House of Commons praying that certain pictures might be removed as being " blasphemous and insulting to our holy religion, and direct breaches of the second commandment." The petition was transmitted to a large number of the clergy for signatures, accompanied by a wood-cut of this picture. See Edinburgh Review, No. 173, p. 208. Art Union, August, 1846.

Crozat, who died May 24, 1740, when his works of art descended to his nephew and heir, the Marquis du Chatel. The Marquis died in 1 750, when the Crozat collections were divided into three parts. The first part, consisting of two hundred and forty specimens, appears to have been sold in 1 75 1, in the sale of pictures, sculptures, etc., from the cabinet of the late President Tugny, and that of M. Crozat. The second part was bequeathed by the Marquis du Chatel to his younger brother, Louis Antoine Crozat, Baron de Thiers, who died in 1 771 . His pictures were sold the same year to the Empress of Russia, and many of them are now in the Hermitage. The third part was bequeathed by the Marquis du Chatel to his daughter, Louise Honorine, who, after her father's death, married the Due de Choiseul. These pictures were doubtless included in the Due de Choiseul sales, April 6, 1772; December 18, 1786; and December 10, 1787. There were the following Crozat sales : 1 74 1.

Cumberland mentions " two full-length pictures in the Santiago pal- ace, companions in size and excellence, which are superior to all the works of this author in the royal collection, and which no stranger of taste, who visits Madrid, should fail to see ; the one, a St. Joseph leading by the hand a Christ of the age of eight or ten years, and overhead a glory of Cherubim ; the background a landscape in a grand style, and exquisite harmony ; the other, a St. Francis Xavier " [No. 308].

The naked Child lies asleep on his right side, his face and body front, on a drapery spread over a hillock which elevates the upper part of his body ; beneath his head, and behind his body is a cross, on the upper part of which his head rests ; his right arm is on a skull by his side, his left is on the drapery that covers his left hip ; his left foot is planted on the ground behind his right; in the sky, above the Child, two cherubs observe the sleeper, one with his hands joined in adoration, the other with his right hand raised ; a hilly landscape and sky on the right. Exhibited at the British Institution in 1824 and in 1858. This is doubtless the picture mentioned in the English Connoisseur, i. 36, as being, in 1 766, in the posses- sion of Charles Jennens. This gentleman, dying in 1773, left his possessions, by will, to the father of the first Earl Howe. He was a cousin of William Jennens, whose vast estates have from time to time been the object of such anxious longings to every man and woman in the two hemispheres who could trace a pedigree back to an ancestor bearing the happy name of Jennens or Jennings. The estates of William Jennens also passed by succession to the family of Earl Howe, by whom they are now held. A picture similar to the above, about 20X16 inches, is in the Dyce collection, No. 41, in the South Kensington Museum, London.

[The Comte de Lassay was a gay Lothario of the last century, whose love for art was only surpassed by his love for the sex. Among his conquests was that dis- tinguished amateur, the Comtesse de Verrue, one of the most celebrated Aspasias of that age of pleasure and easy manners, who, dying in 1736, bequeathed to her lover " tous les tableaux qui, lors de mon deces, se trouveront garnir le mur entier de la dite galerie [sur le terrain des Carmes] oppose a la cheminee * * d'une fenetre a l'autre." The pictures so described were appraised at 46,000 liv. The Comte de Las- say was also a large purchaser at the sale of the Comtesse de Verrue, March 27, etc., 1737. He died in 1750, and a part of his pictures were sold in the Grande Salle des Marechaux in the palace of the Tuileries, May 17, 1775, out ^is sale is supposed to have included only those articles which formed the succession of Madame de Lassay. The greater part of his property, including pictures, passed 24 MURILLO. to his kinsman, the Comte de la Guiche, in whose inventory, made about 1 771, three pictures by Murillo are mentioned, valued at 15,000 liv. Two of these were doubt- less the Good Shepherd and St. John, which were sold in the Comte de la Guiche sale. The third was probably the Flower Girl (No. 426), now in the Dulwich Gal- lery. This last is known to have been in the Verrue cabinet ; perhaps the two first may also have been in that collection. A note in Forster, Brit. Gal. of Engs., asserts that the two pictures above named had been presented to the Marquis de Lassay when he was Ambassador at Madrid. The writer has not been able to learn that this Marquis de Lassay was ever in Spain. ] 168. Christ, the Good Shepherd. Earl of Wemyss, Gos- ford Hall, East Lothian, Perthshire.

[There is a rare etching by Arteaga, 9.6x6. 7, executed in 1698, which bears no name of painter, but which is evidently after a composition by Murillo. A copy is in the Biblioteca Nacional, at Madrid. Sir W. Stirling-Maxwell ( Catalogue 89 ) suggests that it is after the above work, but it is quite a different thing. Christ on the left, nearly in profile, kneels on his left knee on a rock, with his right foot in the water and the palms of his hands joined; opposite, St. John, holding a cross, kneels on one knee, and pours water from a shell on the head of Christ; above is the Dove with three cherubs on each side. 176.

[Nathan Wetherell, a leather merchant of Snow Hill, London, having occasion to travel in Spain to receive orders and to collect debts, was by chance thrown in the way of the Conde de Floridablanca, one of 'he most enlightened of Spanish minis- ters, who was desirous of encouraging manufactures in Spain, and who held out strong inducements for the Englishman to establish himself in that country. He was granted the use, free of rent, of the suppressed Jesuit convent of San Diego at Seville, with seven acres of land besides other advantages, and there he founded, in 1 784, a manufactory of leather and leather goods that became one of the most important industrial enterprises in the Peninsula, giving employment to more than four hundred workmen. But the enterprising projector lost his powerful friend, and finding himself unable to secure fair treatment, or to overcome the vis inertice of the Spanish people, after a long struggle he abandoned the field. His protestant bones now repose in the grounds of the old convent that was the scene of his labors, adjoining the Quemadero, where heretics in the good old times were burned for the good of their souls.

Don Juan Wetherell, perhaps a son of the above, lived for many years opposite the Carmelite church of S. Alberto in Seville, and was devoted to history and antiqui- ties, chiefly Roman and Mexican. He formed a collection of objects of this class, and had a catalogue of them printed in London, with lithographs of some of the principal articles. This gentleman, somewhere about 1830, removed to England, carrying his cabinet of curiosities with him. ] 177. Baptism of Christ. Duque de Montpensier, Chateau de Randan, Puy de Dome, France.

Presented in 1856 by Queen Isabella to Pope Pius IX., who placed it in the Vatican. Lord Dudley acquired it in 1872 in exchange for a Holy Family by Bonifazio, and a Virgin and Child enthroned with saints, by Fra Angelico. Royal Academy, 18 71. This picture is a pendant to the others in Dudley House. How it became sep- arated from its companions is not known, but about 1850 it fell into the hands of a dealer, who offered it to M. Salamanca, the owner of the rest of the series. The price was, however, so extravagant that the offer was declined. Queen Isabella at once paid the sum demanded, and sent the canvas to the Pope. [For this note I am indebted to Charles Morse, Esq., who possessed the most extensive and valu- able collection of engravings after Velazquez and Murillo in Europe. It was dis- persed in 1874, to the great regret of every lover of Spanish Art. Many of the prints were purchased by Sir William Stirling-Maxwell, and a large number came into the possession of the author of this catalogue. ] 193. The Prodigal Son's Return. Stafford House. He falls on his knees, and is embraced by his father; a little dog leaps up to welcome him ; behind him a man and boy lead forward the fatted calf; on the right servants bring rich garments and the ring; nine fig- ures, life-size.

Christ is seated with his Disciples at a table on which are two lighted candles ; on the floor in front is a large basin containing two vases. 80X130 inches. This is said to be an early work painted for a convent in Valencia, where D. Vicente Lopez found a record of its origin and history. W. H. Worthington, line, in Cun- ningham, Cabinet Gallery, from the orig- inal belonging to W. W. Sharp of Upper Berkeley street. 194b. In the convent of La Merced Calzada, now occupied by the Museum, Seville, were two beautiful pictures — the Last Supper of our Lord and the De- scent of the Holy Spirit. Mentioned by G. de Leon, i. 160. 195. Christ in the Garden of Olives. Louvre, Paris, 544. An angel, holding a cross in his left hand, has descended on clouds, and presents a chalice to the Saviour, who kneels profile left ; in the background are two Disciples asleep, and beyond them a group of soldiers approaching. On marble. .36X.28. This picture and its companion, No. 196, were in the late Elector of Cologne sale, by Remy, at Bonn, December 10, 1764. Again in Comte de Vaudreuil sale, by Lebrun, November 27, 1784. This Elector of Cologne was doubtless Clement August, son of Maximilian, Elector of Bavaria, and Theresa, daughter of John, King of Poland. He died February 6, 1761. It is difficult to recognize the hand of Murillo in these two pictures. In treat- ment and execution they resemble the style of Meneses Osorio, especially a Christ Praying in the Garden by that artist, in the gallery of the Duke de Montpensier at Seville, No. 177.

It was presented to the convent in 1730 by Dona Catalina Rod- riguez, widow of Ambrosio de los Santos, in fulfillment of the wishes of her deceased husband. A short time before the suppression of convents in Spain, the monks transferred it for safety to the keeping of certain friends, by whom it was, in 1852, deposited in the Museum. 198. Ecce Homo.

On a napkin suspended by its two upper corners, which are formed into round knots or rosettes, is depicted the face of Christ, crowned with thorns, turned slightly to our left, the eyes downcast, the beard short, and the hair falling below the chin. This description is from a coarse and excessively rare line engraving, 9.3X7, executed by " R. O." in 1792, evidently in Spain. There is strong reason for believ- ing that the engraving is after the picture called the Santa Faz, which was formerly on the high altar of the Capuchin Church. See No. 18. The Santa Faz, or Holy Face, is a name given in Spain to the representation of the face of our Lord on the handkerchief of St. Veronica. 204. Ecce Homo. Lord Overstone, London.

Collier, line, 9X7, 1853. The inscription informs us that the original, painted in 1650, was in the Mus£e Espagnole (Louis Philippe Gallery), at Paris. H. Rose, line, 8.8x7, l8 53- G. Barry, litho., 21x18. (Goupil.) According to Stirling the engraving by Collier is after the picture No. 163, in the old catalogue of the Louis Philippe Gallery — probably No. 76 sale catalogue, which was " withdrawn from the sale by the Queen." He also informs us that it is the painting formerly in the Capilla del Pilar in the Cathedral at Seville. An- nals, iii. 1430. Catalogue of Prints, etc., p. 91. The picture, formerly in the Capilla del Pilar, was removed in 1836 to the Sacristia de los Calices. In 1839, as the result of certain negotiations between Baron Taylor and Dean Lopez Cepero, it was transferred to King Louis Philippe in exchange for some illustrated books and a paltry portrait of Columbus painted by Emile Lasalle.

It is somewhat doubtfully suggested by Stirling (1420) and Tubino (182) that these references are to a single picture of the Virgin and St. John, which afterwards belonged to Senor Escazena. Neither of these authors could have seen the pictures in that church, but Captain Davies, who did see them in 1807, informs us that in S. M. la Blanca was La Piedad or Dolorosa; the Virgin, with the dead body of Christ — the same subject as that in the Capuchin church, but smaller. Davies, Murillo, xciii.

Painted for the Capuchin convent. See ante No. 18. During the French invasion, all the pictures in this convent, together with those in the Cathedral, were removed to Gibraltar for safety. In payment of the expenses incurred in this mat- 208 MURILLO. ter, the brotherhood of the convent, in 1814, transferred to the Cathedral this picture, which was in 1818 placed in its present position in the altar of the chapel of the Angel de la Guarda. A sketch, 15XH inches, was in the collection of Dean Lopez Cepero, Catalogo No. 861, and is noticed in Sevilla Pinto., 452. One of the pictures composing the famous retable of the high altar of the Capu- chin church at Cadiz (see the Marriage of St. Catharine, No. 264), is a Guardian Angel leading a child, by Meneses Osorio, after a design by Murillo. It is iden- tical with the above, except that the angel's right hand falls naturally instead of pointing up, and the wings are closer to the body. R. C. Bell, line, in Stirling, Annals.

Cathe- dral, Seville, in the Baptistery. The Infant Saviour, attended by a host of cherubs and youthful angels, descends in a glory, as if walking on clouds, to visit the smooth-faced, brown-frocked Saint, who, kneel- ing in his cell, welcomes his celestial visitor, looking up, with out- spread arms ; on a table is an open book and a vase containing lilies ; on the left, cloisters are seen through an open door. Vaporoso man- ner. 5.50X3.30. This is the largest painting ever executed by Murillo, and the first of which a notice is to be found in any printed book. F. de la Torre Farfan, (.Fiestas de la S. Iglesia * * de Sevilla, p. 164, Sevilla, 1671, — eleven years before the death of the artist), in his account of the Cathedral and its treasures, praises this picture of Murillo, the Sevillian Apelles. Palomino (iii. 421, 423) tells the story which is so often repeated, that birds have been seen trying to alight on the table and peck the flowers. He also gives credit to Valdes Leal for the perspective of the cloisters and the table, a very improbable tale, which is justified neither by the character of Valdes, nor his relations towards Murillo. The work was painted by order of the Chapter, who placed it in the baptistery, November 21, 1656, and gave the artist for it 10,000 reals, about 2,500 francs. Cean Bermudez, Carta 60. M. Viardot was told by a canon of the Cathedral that in 1815 the Duke of Wellington offered to buy the picture, covering it with gold ounces, a price equal to about ^36,000, but the offer was declined. Musees d' Espagne, 146. Don J. M. Escazena had a study for the figure of the Saint. 36x27 inches. Stirling iii. 1437. ST. ANTONY. 21 I On the 5th of November, 1874, it was discovered that this picture had been muti- lated by cutting out the figure of St. Anthony during the previous forty-eight hours, within which time the curtain covering it had not been withdrawn, so far as was known. This was the third robbery in the Cathedral within a short period. The first was that of a crucifix, subsequently recovered. Next was the loss of a crown and pectoral cross of the image of the Virgen de los Reyes, jewelry of the thirteenth century. After the second robbery the watch was reinforced by two mastiffs, but all these precautions were ineffectual. On the discovery of this last outrage the Spanish Government sent to its representatives abroad photographs of the picture showing the mutilation, and instructing them to aid in the search for the criminals. On the 2d of January, 1875, a Spaniard, named Fernando Garcia, called on Mr. Wm. Schaus, the well-known picture dealer in New -York, and proposed to sell a Murillo which he had at his lodgings. The canvas was, at Mr. Schaus's request, brought to his place of business, and left for examination. It was about 7 feet high by about 5 feet broad, and was rudely tacked to a stretcher, but had evidently been rolled for some time. Much of the paint of the head and face had peeled off ; the nose had almost entirely disappeared, and a rough jag on one side, made by a slip of the knife, had been repaired. Mr. Schaus perceived that it was the stolen Murillo, and at once gave notice to the Spanish Consul, for whose account it was a few days later purchased for $250. It was immediately packed and sent to Cuba, accompanied by Garcia, who was, however, released from custody after a brief examination, in the course of which it appeared that the thief had walked boldly on board the steamer at Cadiz, in broad daylight, with the picture on his shoulder. The injuries were carefully restored, and the picture reinstated in its old position, amid imposing relig- ious and secular festivities, on the 30th of October, 1875. The Chapter of the Cathedral expressed its gratitude towards the skillful restorer of the canvas, Senor Cubells, by presenting him with a gold medal weighing three ounces. His wife was also rewarded with four relics of St. Peter, St. Bartholomew, St. Laureano, and St. Lorenzo. As Mr. Schaus had declined to accept the reward of 50,000 pesetas that had been offered, it was proposed to make some acknowledgment to him for his share in the transaction ; but in the joy over the return of the picture this has been forgotten.

[Prince Anatole Demidoff was one of the most noted collectors of pictures in modern times, and the Demidoff sales were among the most important of the pres- ent age. The fortunes of the house are said to have begun when an ancestor skillfully repaired a pistol for Peter the Great, but the discovery of mines in Siberia, in 1725, was the foundation of the wealth of the family. In 18 14 Nicholas Demi- doff purchased the old convent of San Donato at the gates of Florence, where he erected the beautiful palace so well known to all visitors to that city. The Grand Duke Leopold II., in recognition of his generosity and public spirit, con- ferred on Nicholas the title of Prince. His son Anatole, who married the Princess Mathilde Bonaparte, continued the work of collecting which his father began. He died in 1870, on the last day of his great sale of pictures. The following is a list of the Demidoff sales, all of which, except the last, were held in Paris : 1863, January 13 to 16, Prince Anatole Demidoff. Thirty-four paintings, prin- cipally of the French and Dutch schools, produced ,£13,021 ; forty-three drawings, about ^"5,000 ; forty-one other lots, snuff-boxes, etc., about ^21,900; total, about ^■40,000. 1863, February 26 (Paul Demidoff).

The Gazette des Beaux Arts for that year has several articles on the collection, with etchings of some of the pictures. 1870, March 22-April 28, San Donato sale. Objects of art. The catalogue is illustrated with photographs. These two sales realized 4,863,031 francs. 1880, March 15 -May 13. San Donato sale, at Florence. There were six thousand and seventy-five lots. The pictures, chiefly of the Dutch, Flemish, and Italian schools, aquarelles, engravings, sculpture, furniture, bronzes, curiosities, plate, carpets, tapestries, porcelains, carriages, wines, etc., produced 6,579,580 francs ; hot-house plants, 109,463 francs ; library, 1 18,142 francs ; furniture in the out-build- ings, 37,269 francs ; total, 6,844,454 francs, besides the palace and grounds of San Donato, which were subsequently sold at private sale.

About 1678, at the instance of his friend and fellow-artist, Pedro de Medina Valbuena, Murillo was employed to paint two pictures for the great retable in the church of the convent of St. Augustine outside the Carmona gate, at Seville, which Herrera the elder had already adorned with paintings representing the Annuncia- tion and the Coronation of the Virgin, and which Valbuena was himself engaged in gilding and decorating. The works by Murillo were on the sides of the retable, and represented St. Augustine writing (255), and the Virgin appearing to the Saint (254). There were also some pictures of angels with episcopal insignia and attri- butes in their hands in the angles of the arch (236a). In the Chapel of St. Thomas were two beautiful paintings, afterwards removed to the prior's cell, one represent- ing St. Thomas dividing his clothes among some poor children (396), the other, St. Thomas giving alms, with the perspective of a cloister (398). In the sacristy was St. Augustine kneeling, with some books (258). There were also several smaller paintings in the lower part of the altar. In the body of the church were copies of works which Murillo had executed for the Caridad (probably Abraham and the Angels, The Prodigal Son's Return, and the Healing of the Paralytic, which were sold in the Marquis of Lansdowne sale, in 1806).

Its church, the burial place of numerous great families of Andalusia, among them that of Ponce de Leon, was one of the richest in works of art and precious metals. About the begin- ing of this century the church was destroyed, and the convent was converted into a prison. In 1880 the property passed into private hands.] 255. St. Augustine. Seville Museum, 54.

Stirling (885) is probably mistaken in sup- posing this to be one of the pictures painted for the Augustine Convent. Praised in Jameson, S. and L. Art, 312. According to the legend the Bishop saw a child on the sea-shore carrying water in a shell to fill a hole in the sand. To the inquiry what he was doing, the child replied that he intended to empty all the water of the sea into that hole. " It is im- possible," said the Bishop. " No more impossible," answered the child, " than for you to explain the mystery of the Trinity on which you are now meditating." Among the pictures of this subject by other artists, may be named a small fresco attributed to Raphael in the Sala della Segnatura ; a painting by Sanchez Coello in the Escorial, and one by Guercino in the Museo del Prado, 250.

Marriage of St. Catharine. Capuchin Church, Cadiz. The Virgin, seated on the right on a raised platform, holds on her lap the infant Saviour, who places a ring on the finger of St. Catha- rine kneeling; behind the Virgin are three youthful angels, and on the left are two others ; three cherubs are on the platform in front, and others in the glory above ; on the right, are two columns and a curtain ; a sword and a broken wheel lie in front on the tiled pave- ment of the chamber. Full length, life-size. 13 feet 9 inches x 10 feet 8 inches. This is the last work of Murillo, the one which cost the artist his life. The Capuchin friars having resolved to expend, in the decoration of their church, a sum of money which had been left to them by Juan Violante, a Genoese merchant formerly residing at Cadiz, Murillo was employed to paint five pictures for their high altar. Pie chose as the subjects : for the centre the Marriage of St. Catharine ; on the left St. Joseph and the infant Jesus walking ; above it St. Michael standing with a palm in his left hand, the right hand raised; on the right St. Francis, standing before a balustrade, with a crucifix; above it the Guardian Angel. This immense altar-piece, about 20 feet high by 24 feet wide, fills the entire arch at the end of the convent church; and all the figures are of the size of life. The account of the accident that befell Murillo while engaged on this picture is given by Palomino, as follows : " Such was the modesty of Murillo that we may say this virtue cost him his life. For while engaged in painting for the Church of the Capuchins at Cadiz a large picture of St. Catharine, he stumbled on the scaffold and ruptured his intestines. Being unwilling, through modesty, to permit ail examination, or to show the injured part, he died of the accident." Palomino, Mus. Pict. iii. 421. Murillo's will, which he dictated but was not able to sign, on the day of his death, April 3, 1682, says: "I declare that I am making a large painting for the 222 MURILLO. convent of the Capuchins at Cadiz, and four smaller ones; the price has been agreed upon at 900 pesos, on account of which I have received 350 pesos." A translation of the will is given in this volume. Ponz informs us (xvii. 339) that the St. Catharine was completed by Murillo himself, except a part of the glory, which was finished after his death by Meneses Osorio. Meneses also executed the four lateral pictures, doubtless all after the designs of Murillo. In fact, the Guardian Angel with a child is a repetition, with slight variations, of that formerly in the Capuchin Convent at Seville, and it may reasonably be inferred that the St. Michael was likewise taken from the picture of that saint in the same convent, now lost. Murillo's drawing for this composition, .20X.28 cm., belonged to Raphael Mengs and was in P. Lefort sale, Paris, Jan. 28, 1869. A sketch belonged to the Marques de la Canada, to D. Sebastian Martinez, to D. Manuel de Leyra, and after- wards to Captain Davies. Murillo, xcv. and 94. Twiss, Travels, 316. Ponz, xviii. 20. In 1 86 1 two prizes were offered by the Academia de Bellas Artes, of Cadiz, one of 10,000 reals and the other of 5,000 reals, for paintings to commemorate the accident by which Murillo lost his life. The first prize was awarded to D. Alejan- dro Ferrant y Fischermans, the second to D. Jose Marcelo Contreras. The pict- ure by Ferrant is now in the museum at Cadiz; also another of the same subject by D. Manuel Cabral Bejarano. This is one of the richest and most graceful of all the compositions of Murillo, and is so interesting, as well for its history as for its artistic merits, that the author of this catalogue has thought no offering could be more acceptable to the friends of our artist than the accompanying etching which M. Saint Raymond went from Paris to Cadiz expressly to make. E. Saint Raymond, etch., 1880, in this volume. 265. Marriage of St. Catharine. Vatican, Rome.

Painted for the small cloister of the convent of San Francisco at Seville. When Murillo returned from Madrid, in 1645, a project was on foot to adorn the small cloister, called de la porteria, of the convent of San Francisco with eleven historical paintings, the figures to be of life-size. For this purpose money had been collected by one of the brotherhood, but the sum was so small that all the art- ists of repute declined to undertake the work. Murillo, however, being needy, accepted their offer, although the monks greatly doubted his ability to satisfy their desires. Some of the pictures had verses underneath, taken from the chronicles of the Seraphic religion, intended to explain the story. The first on the right, or east- erly side, on entering the cloister, represented San Francisco listening to angelic 224 MURILLO. music; the second was San Diego de Alcala distributing soup to the poor; on the same side were two others, in one of which the soul of Philip II. was seen ascend- ing to heaven. In an interval on the north was the Death of Santa Clara. Four others filled the space on the west side. On the south side were two, one of them quadrangular in form, with two figures ; the other represented San Diego in the convent kitchen. On the completion of these works all the connoisseurs were greatly astonished, and wondered where Murillo had acquired so admirable a man- ner. The painter was no longer obscure, he became famous at once, and was sought after by all. Employment was heaped upon him, and it was by the merit and fame he thus acquired that he obtained the favor of Dona Beatriz de Cabrera y Sotomayor, whom he married in 1648. Cean Bermudez, Carta, 46-53. The convent of San Francisco was the oldest, the largest, and the richest in Seville, having accommodations provided within its spacious walls for 200 monks, whose annual expenditure, notwithstanding that all were fed by charity, exceeded 400,000 reals. It occupied a conspicuous position adjoining and communicating with the Ayuntamiento, or City Hall, and gave its name to the plaza on which that edifice stands. Its vast cloisters stretched far to the west towards the Guadalquivir, and with its gardens it occupied all the space from the Plaza de San Francisco on the east to Calle de Zaragoza on the west, and from Calle de los Catalanes on the north to Calle de los Tintores on the south. Every altar and chapel, not only of the church, but of the cloisters as well, was under the special patronage of some great family, whose pride and religion had been displayed in its adornment. It was the chosen burial-place of the grandees of Andalusia, by whose devotion it had been enriched with precious marbles, sculptures, bronzes, frescoes, and paintings to such an extent that it was justly considered, after the cathedral, the chief glory of Seville. But the richest part of the convent in artistic wealth, Gonzalez de Leon says, was the small cloister which contained eleven of the best works of Murillo. See Palomino, iii. 420. Ponz, Viage, ix. 95.

Stirling, Annals, ii. 834-7, etc. On the arrival of Marshal Soult on the first of February, 1810, all was changed. The convent was assigned as quarters to a regiment of the line, which negligently, or as the Spaniards say, designedly, allowed a fire to break out on the first of November in the same year, whereby a large part of the conventual buildings were destroyed. Little more than ruins remained when the French evacuated the city on the 26th of August, 1812. Efforts were made from time to time to restore the church, but with only partial success. Finally, in September, 1840, its complete demolition was decreed, and in place of the convent, with its cloisters and gardens, new streets were laid out, and the Plaza de San Fernando, sometimes called Plaza Nueva, was constructed, one hundred and fifty metres in length by ninety in breadth, being the largest and finest in Seville. Immediately on occupying the city the French took the precaution to secure such artistic treasures as were portable and had a market value. Of the eleven paintings in the small cloister of this convent, three fell into the hands of Marshal Soult, who carried them to Paris. General Faviers, Intendant-General of the French army, took possession of four. Owing to the haste of the evacuation the remaining four were left behind in the Alcazar, with many other pictures from dif- ST. DIEGO OF ALC ALA. 225 ferent churches and convents, amounting, Mr. Ford asserts, to more than a thou- sand ( Handbook, i. 186J. Two, if not four, of these fell into the possession of Don Antonio Bravo, a noted collector at Seville. (See Velazquez, No. 9a.) These paintings are so interesting, and mark so important an epoch in the life of the artist, that no biographer of Murillo omits to mention them.

It remained in its original position on the south wall of the cloister until it was appropriated, with others, by Marshal Soult, at whose sale, in 1852, it was bid in at 85,500 francs. About 1858 the Marshal's heirs sold it to the Louvre for 80,000 francs. See No. 55. While in Soult's possession it was injudiciously restored and repainted. V Illustration, Jan. 8, 1859, p. 25. A writer in the Athenceum, Jan. 19, 1852, asserts that it was at one time sent to London and offered for sale at ^3,000. " When I was at Seville I made repeated offers to bring this picture to Eng- land, saying I would send it safe back (and give security for the performance), per- fectly repaired, without any expense whatever, to the convent ; the exhibition would have paid it an hundredfold. Being exposed to the morning sun, and having been so one hundred and fifty years to the open air, pieces about a foot from the bottom, as large as the palm of your hand, had been chipped off, the remainder is perfect."

The Cardinal Bishop of Pampeluna, accompanied by four monks, entering the garden of the convent, beholds with amazement St. Diego raised from the ground in ecstasy before a cross ; at the feet of the Saint are some vegetables and a mattock ; in the background is a landscape with trees, and the walls of the convent on the right. Six figures. Eight lines are inscribed beneath. 1.69X1.81. Painted for the convent of San Francisco. See No. 268. This picture was brought from Spain by General Faviers, passed into the possession of M. Aguado, and was sold in his sale, 1843, f° r 2*825 francs, to the Government. It was sent to the Museum in 1846. The canvas has been injured and extensively and badly restored, with the loss of some of the lines beneath.

He stands on the right, hold- ing up a fold of his brown robe filled with roses, which he shows to the Guardian, who raises his hands in amazement at the miracle ; behind the Saint is another monk with a basket of bread ; on the left are four old beggars imploring alms, and two boys; Christ himself, marked with the stigmata, is seated in front in the guise of a beggar, as if say- ing, " Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me." Above are five cherubs, three of whom, in a group, shower flowers on the head of the Saint. The background is formed by the walls of the convent, with a bit of sky 228 MURILLO. on the left. The figures of the Saint and the Guardian are, one or both, the same as those in the pictures in the Louvre, No. 269, Toulouse Museum, No. 271, and in the Academy of San Fernando, No. 270. One of the beggars is seen in the Adoration, in the Museo del Prado, No. 121. 93X78 inches. Painted for the convent of San Francisco. See No. 268. After the occupation of Seville by the French, this picture fell into the hands of Don Antonio Bravo, from whom it descended to his nephew, Don Aniceto Bravo (see Velazquez No. 9a), " whose magnificent gallery of 840 paintings might rank with many museums of the first order."

Senor Tubino adds a note by which he informs us that after the death of Senor Bravo, his widow dis- persed the collection of pictures which her husband possessed, and that the San Diego Surprised by the Guardian was purchased by Don Jorge Diez Martinez. From this gentleman it passed, in 1865, to Don Luis Portilla, Madrid, who, in 1873, sold it to W. J. Shaw. It was sold by Mr. Shaw, in 1880, at private sale, to the present owner. Comte A. Raczynski endeavored to buy the picture in 1842, but he considered the price which Senor Bravo demanded for it, 45,000 reals, greater than he could afford. Raczynski, Les Arts en Portugal, p. 512. The legend is to the effect that the Saint, having been often reproved by the prior of the convent for his excessive charity towards the poor, was on one occasion protected from punishment by the miracle which the artist has depicted. Annibale Caracci, with the assistance of Albano, painted a picture representing this miracle in the series of frescoes which once adorned the church of San Giacomo degli Spagnuoli at Rome. The church has been destroyed, but the composition still exists in the engraving by Guilain. A like story is told of St. Elizabeth of Hungary, and also of St. Casilda. A picture by Zurbaran, representing the miracle operated for the benefit of this last- named saint, is in the Museo del Prado, No. 1132. Etched by A.

In the Diccionario, Cean Bermudez called this Saint, Isabel of Portugal, an error which he corrected in the Carta. According to the Biographie Universelle, art. Murillo, this, and the two pictures of the Roman Senator (Nos. 229 and 230) were presented by the City of Seville to Marshal Soult, who gave them to the King at the Restora- tion. For a time they were in the Louvre, but in 1815 they were returned to Spain and placed in the Academy. The Brotherhood of the Santa Caridad have made repeated efforts to secure the return of this precious canvas to Seville, and when the Queen visited that city in 1862, they procured from her a promise to restore it, but it is still in Madrid.

Iglesia de Sevilla, Se villa, 1672, fol. The author says the portrait was " sacada con facilidad por la mano del famoso Bartolome Murillo en una tabla de alerce." Fiestas, p. 325. There is another etching by Arteaga of the same portrait. It is smaller, in an oval, with a shield on each side, dated 167 — ; the last figure of the date is illegible. It seems to be part of the title-page of a book of which, in the only copy I have seen, the word "apologia" alone is preserved. These are the first engravings ever made after a work of Murillo. Arteaga's engraving is copied by F. Muntaner, line, 7X4-8, in D. Alonzo Nunez de Castro, Vida de S. Fer- nando, Madrid, 1 784, 4to. The original after which Arteaga worked is unknown. Perhaps it was a drawing made by Murillo for the engraver's use. Stirling (A nnals, 918) is incorrect in saying the etching is after the portrait in the Biblioteca at Seville, as the two are quite different. In another place (Annals, 1435) Stirling mentions a picture in black and white, purchased in Cadiz in 1830 or 183 1 by J. M. Escazena and afterwards sold to Sir J. M. Brackenbury, which he thinks may have been Murillo's drawing for the etching, with which it agrees even as to size. 284. San Fernando. Heirs of the Infant Don Sebastian, Pau, No. 580.

That picture has disappeared, but one that has been substi- tuted for it is still in the possession of the family. Jose de Madrazo, in yoyas de la Pintura, note to Tobar's portrait of Murillo. 287.

Fidele Roca, line engraving, after the above or a similar composition. The plate mark measures 10.6x6.8. There is an engraving without the name of either painter or engraver, measuring 12.6x8.7, identical with the above, but larger and with additions of a winged seraph in the left upper corner, and the bust of a lay brother faintly seen beneath the right hand of the Saint. The writer is informed by Don Manuel Williams, of Seville, son of Don Julian Williams, and himself an intel- ligent and cultivated amateur, that this plate is the same as Roca's, and that the additions and enlargement were done by Jose Maria Martin, an engraver of Seville, about 1830. S. Sturges, Esq., London, has a picture similar to Sir William Fitzherbert's, and of the same dimensions, but the Saint is represented without the stigmata. It was formerly attributed to Murillo, but now to Cigoli. Baron V. Denon had a drawing attributed to Murillo, of St. Francis kneeling three-quarters right, with his head turned to behold in clouds on the left a vision of Christ crucified ; a lay brother is seen at full length on the right. The drawing is lithographed in Denon, Monuments, iii. 237. In the Bonnemaison sale, 1827, was a work by Alonzo Cano. St. Francis bearing the stigmata, and wearing a thick robe rent at the side, and bound with a thong, kneels on the ground, and, with hands upraised, contemplates a winged seraph in the air ; at a distance is one of his companions reading, seen only in bust ; the arid summit of a mountain in the background. 7 feet 5 inches by 5 feet 2 inches. 2,000 francs. 293.

A beard- less, tonsured monk, in black robe, attended by two young ecclesiastics, stands on a stone portico before a column, giving alms to a cripple, who kneels, holding a crutch and a staff ; in the background is rich architecture, with cloisters on the left, where about twenty small fig- ures are seen, among them some monks distributing bread to the poor. 81X51 inches. Purchased in 181 5 from General Sebastiani. This smooth-faced, youthful monk differs from all the other representations of St. Francis of Assisi by Murillo, and differs also from the traditional type of that Saint, who is commonly represented with a beard. The saint is doubtless wrongly named. Perhaps the picture is intended to represent St. Thomas of Villanueva. Photographed by Hanfstaengl, Munich. ST. FRANCIS OF ASSISI. 237 295.

FRANCIS XAVIER. 241 alan confessor, determined to quit the King of Majorca because he would not give up his mistress. An embargo was laid on the shipping, whereupon the buoyant Saint embarked on his cloak with two disciples, and sailed to Barcelona in six hours. He distanced the royal galleys sent after him, as five hundred credible witnesses saw. The cloak was not even wetted by the voyage. There is no attempt to idealize the legend. The subject is well worked out, the broad sea and the brown- robed monks, the two vulgar attendants contrasting with the elevated character of the Saint."

A repetition or copy was in collection of Queen Isabel Farnese, in the palace of S. Ildefonso. During the festival of Corpus Christi, in 1670, a Conception by Muriilo was exhibited at Madrid, where it attracted so much attention that the King, Carlos II., requested Don Francisco Eminente, a warm friend of Muriilo, to induce the artist to come to Madrid and engage in the royal service. Muriilo excused himself on the score of his age, whereupon he was asked to send to the Court some specimen of his art. This the artist could not refuse, but as he required a longer time for exe- cuting the work than the King was willing to grant, Eminente purchased from Don Juan Antonio del Castillo, for 2,500 reals, a picture of St. John in the Desert, which he sent to the King. Palomino, iii. 423. Cumberland asserts that when he wrote, the picture referred to by Palomino was in the palace at Madrid. Anecdotes, ii. 117. Where is it now — or was Cumberland mistaken? The description, "St. John in the Desert," is commonly understood to refer to a picture of St. John of mature age, about thirty-three years old. B. Maura, etch., 1876, in Grab, al Ag. Fuerte.

Half length. 36^X26 inches. Companion to St. Rufina, No. 392. Both were exhibited at the British Insti- tution in 1828 and in 1858, and at the Royal Academy in 1870. Lord Ronald Gower ( Historic Galleries of England ) thinks these two pictures formerly belonged to Marshal Soult ; but as he informs me that the opinion rests only on a family tradition, I venture to suggest a doubt. In the Altamira sale, by Stanley, June 1, 1827, a St. Justa sold for ^325 10s., and a St. Rufina for £27$. The catalogue of this sale in the South Kensington Museum Library, gives in manuscript the purchaser's name as " Stafford." The next year after this sale the Marquis of Stafford exhibited, at the British Institution, the two pictures now at Staf- ford House. It was seven years later, in 1835, when the Marquis purchased from Marshal Soult the other Murillos now in Stafford House, as related ante No. 1. It therefore seems probable that both these pictures came from the famous gallery of the Duques de Altamira, descendants of the great house of Villamanrique, whose palace in the Plaza de S. M. la Blanca, at Seville, was notable, among other things, for the important paintings by Murillo it contained, some of which are referred to at No. 10, ante. Photograph in Lord R.

Sold again in Soult sale, April 17, 1867, for 16,000 francs, to M. de Guitaut. The legend which this painting represents is obscure. Cean Bermudez (Carta, 49) calls it the ascent to heaven of the soul of Philip II. Mrs. Jameson ( Monastic Orders, 273) suggests that it may represent a passage in the life of St. Francis of Assisi. Another legend is that given in Flos Sanctorum (ii. 445) of St. Philip Beniti, to whom the Virgin appeared in a vision in a cloud of fire. Finally, the Soult catalogue says the city on the left is Adrianople, where St. Philip, Bishop of Heraclea, was condemned to be burned. Among so many tales the reader is sure to find one to suit him.

According to the Sebastiani catalogue the sale of this work by the monks was the occasion of a popu- lar outbreak. In order to effect the removal of the canvas from the convent it became necessary to employ force, and the suppressing of the riot cost the lives of three persons. A copy is in the Cadiz cathedral. Others belonged to the Duque de Montpensier, to the Condesa de la Mejorada and to D. Rodrigo de Quirios, Seville. Perhaps there is another in the Lille Museum, called St. Roch dividing his clothes.

The victim of the assault, not alarmed for his own safety, seems only intent on persuading his assailant, by gentle words, to abandon his evil courses ; the robber's hat and staff lie behind him on the ground. The scene is enacted in a harsh and mountainous country before the gate of a ruined castle.

An old man is seated on the floor of his prison, with feet manacled, and hands bound behind his back; while his daughter offers her breast, he turns his head as if fearing interruption. This picture was in Madrid when the French occupied that city. In order to save it, an artist who had, or pretended to have, a commission to paint an altar- piece for some obscure church outside the city walls, succeeded in smuggling it through the gates. It was taken to the sea-coast, and fell into the hands of Richard Kidder Meade, a merchant and United States Navy Agent at Cadiz. LANDSCAPES. 273 Mr. Meade carried it to Philadelphia, where it adorned his gallery, which was in its day one of the finest in America. Sometime before 1830 it passed into the possession of the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, and was destroyed by a fire which broke out in that gallery in 1 845. An old copy, .32X.46 cm., from the Iriarte gallery, was in D. Jose de Madrazo collection, No. 396. The choice of the subject, and the style, if one may judge from the engrav- ing, make it doubtful if this composition can properly be ascribed to Murillo. It is not mentioned by Palomino, by Ponz, by Cean, nor by any other author I have con- suited. Cean asserts ( Carta, p. 125) that Murillo never painted any subject of pro- fane history or mythology. Can this be the picture by Ribera, now lost, which Ponz and Cean Bermudez mention as having been in the Escorial ? Tomas Lopez Enguidanos, line, 13 X 16.8, Madrid, 1809, at Calco. Nacional. 402b.

From time immemorial there was in the parish church of San Andres at Seville a chapel called the Capilla de los Pintores, dedicated to St. Luke as patron of the artists. When the Academy of Seville was founded in 1660, one of its statutes required that each mayordomo should present to this chapel a specimen of his art. The above picture is believed to be the one presented by Murillo when he filled that office in 1660. It was sold in 1809 to Don Antonio Bravo, and was afterwards owned by his nephew, Don Aniceto Bravo.

There is in the Museo del Prado, No. 904, an old copy with variations, viz. : bread, cheese, and a knife are on the boy's right. It is probable that this copy is the picture which the King brought from Cordova, and which is described by Cean Bermudez (Die, ii. 64) as "un muchacho espulgandose, quadro muy cele- brado con el nombre del Piojoso."

They were apparently similar to the two pictures in the Choiseul sale, but smaller. They are mentioned by M. Blanc (Tresor, i. 16) as an addition posterieure to the Verrue catalogue, but as this addition seems to rest on no other authority than the Ran- don de Boisset catalogue, its accuracy may be doubted.

Cousen, line, 19x14.5, bust only. The catalogue of the Blondel de Gagny sale asserts that this picture was in the cabinets Verrue and Lassay. It is not, however, mentioned in the catalogue of the sale of the Comtesse de Verrue, as published for the first time from a manu- script in C. Blanc, Tresor de la Curiosite, i. 1. If the statement of the Blondel de Gagny catalogue above quoted is correct, the canvas may have been among the works of art which the Countess bequeathed to her lover, the Marquis de Lassay, and from him it may have passed to the Comte de la Guiche. See ante No. 167. An addition poste'rieure to the Verrue catalogue, as given by M. Blanc, describes "un jeune garcon et une jeune fille tenant son voile, figure a mi-corps sur toile de dix-neuf pouces de haut sur quatorze pouces six lignes de large." This description evidently points to the half-length pictures now in the Hermitage. See Nos. 413 and 427. 427. A Peasant Girl. Hermitage, St. Petersburg, 378.

When Captain Davies was at Cadiz, about 1809, he saw it in the collection of D. Manuel de Leyra, and rejected it, being covered with paint and filthiness, which rendered it almost invisible. He adds that it came to England and was sold the fol- lowing year at Christie's, and that it was, when he wrote, in the possession of Mr. Anderdon. Murillo, lxxxiv., lxxxv. 97, note.

The tradition is that Lord Godolphin proposed to Mr. Carteret Leathes, grand- father of the present owner, that in exchange for the first foal of the celebrated Arabian horse Godolphin, Mr. Leathes might take his choice of the pictures in his Lordship's collection, and this is the one selected. Evelyn gives the following account of the sale of the first picture by Murillo known to have been sold in England, only eleven years after the death of the artist. "June 21, 1693. I saw a great auction of pictures in the Banqueting House, White- hall. They had been my Lord Mel fort's, now Ambassador from K. James, at Rome, and engag d to his creditors here. Lord Godolphin bought the picture of the Boys by Morillio, the Spaniard, for 80 guineas, deare enough." John Evelyn, Memoirs, London, 1854, 5 vols. 8vo, ii. 325.

Full length. 78X46 inches. This picture was purchased from Don Antonio Bravo by Sir J. M. Brackenbury, British Consul at Cadiz.

Andradae was conductor of the processions in the Cathe- dral of Seville. " Brackenbury 's Murillo — the Man with the Dog — is also in the gallery [King Louis Philippe's]; this I saw in the linen draper's [Bravo's] house in Seville, and the expression of the head strikes me as much now as it did then. It seems to see you while you look at it." Sir D. Wilkie, Life, iii. 1 1 7. "The picture was bought by Sir J. M. Brackenbury some twenty years ago, from the heirs of Andradae, for ^1,000. A dispute arising between Sir John and the broker respecting the commissions, the latter gave notice to the Government, and the old law of Charles III., prohibiting the exportation of pictures, was put in MURILLO. 293 force. After some time a poor copy was obtained and substituted for the original, which was smuggled out of the country. This is the picture which Lord Wellesley, when in Seville, endeavored to obtain." R.

Exhibited at the British Institution, 1855, Manchester, 1857, Leeds, 1868, South Kensington, 1876-79. " He painted a portrait of himself, at the instance of his sons (a wonderful work), which was engraved in Flanders for Nicolas Amazurino ; also, another in a golilla, in the possession of his son Gaspar." Palomino, Mus. Pict., iii. 423. According to Cean Bermudez (Die., ii. 55, and Carta, 104) the portrait painted for his sons was taken to Flanders to be engraved by Collin. There can be no reasonable doubt that the picture referred to by Palomino is the one now belonging to Earl Spencer. It is the best and the most authentic of all the portraits of Murillo, and is doubtless the one from which Tobar made the copy now in the Museo del Prado, No. 1044. Murillo was a warm friend of Amazurino, and painted his portrait and that of his wife, Isabel Malcampo, in 1674. Richard Collin, line, 13.9x9.2, reversed.

[Murillo had three children : a daughter, Francisca, and two sons, Gabriel and Gaspar Esteban. Concerning the first two, we have but few particulars beyond what the artist's will supplies. Dona Francisca, who was probably the oldest, was professed as a nun in the convent of Madre de Dios, about 1675. Don Gabriel, at the time of his father's death, was absent in the Indies. Palomino gives his name as Joseph, and asserts that his father's influence obtained for him a rich benefice worth 3,000 ducats, and that he died at a ripe age. Don Gaspar was baptized October 22, 166 1, in the parish church of Santa Cruz. He was a painter and imitator of the style of his father, but took orders and obtained a benefice at Carmona, whence he was, on the 1st of October, 1685, transferred to a canonryin the cathedral at Seville, of the value of 8,000 reals per annum. He died May I, 1709, and was buried beside the regia of the altar mayor in the cathedral. His epitaph describes him as a man of good manners, modest, with a soul full of piety and devotion, and liberal towards the poor, whom he made his heirs. If the picture above described, and the inscription it bears are authentic, it results that the portrait is that of Don Gabriel, who must have been born in 1655, and not Gaspar, who was only nineteen years old at the date named on this picture.

Full length, life size. Brought from Spain about 1804 by M. Delahante, and sold to Mr. Taylor for ^1,020. Sold at G. Watson Taylor sale, 1823, for ^504, to the Marquis of Lans- downe. British Institution, 1818. Don Justino Neve was a canon of Seville, and a warm friend of Murillo, who made him an executor of his will. It was by the Canon's order that the artist executed the famous pictures for the Church of S. M. la Blanca (see No. 30), and those for the Hospital of the Venerables (see No. 29). As a mark of gratitude and friendship, this portrait was painted about 1678, and it remained in the refectory of the Hospital until the beginning of this century. " In portraits he was also eminent, as witness that of D. Faustino [j-zV] de Nebes, Canon of Seville, in the Hospital of the Venerables, which is truthful and well painted, especially the little English dog, which is so life-like that other dogs used to bark at it." Palomino, iii. 432. Quilliet says, in the journey which he made to Spain with Lebrun, that eminent judge of paintings authorized him to offer 20,000 francs for this portrait, which was refused.

Mr. Holford's picture may be the one described by Cean Bermudez, who says : *' In 1672 Murillo painted Omazurino and his wife, Isabel Malcampo, at half length ; he had a skull in his hand, and the lady had a rose. These portraits are in the large and select collection of Senor Iriarte. Senor D. Manuel Maria Rodriguez, chaplain of the Chapel Royal of Seville, has excellent copies of them, painted by some very good scholar of Murillo, in 1674, with inscrip- tions, which are not on the originals."

The exact date of his birth is unknown, but as the custom of the time was almost invariable, to baptize an infant on the day following its birth, we may, without great risk, accept the opinion of the Padre Val- derrama, Tubino, and others, that the child came into the world on the last day of the year 161 7. The house in which he first saw the light was a small tenement belonging to the brotherhood of the convent of San Pablo, then numbered 12 and 13, afterwards No. 52, in the Plazuela de San Pablo, in the parish of Santa Maria Magdalena, in Seville. It was doubtless one of the houses which had been leased by the brotherhood to the artist's father in 1613, and which Murillo afterwards surrendered to the lessors, as men- tioned hereinafter under the date of 1668. 1618. January I. The child was baptized by the licentiate Francisco de Heredia in the parish church of La Magdalena, which formerly occupied the ground now converted into the Plaza de La Magdalena. The church was despoiled by the French in 1811, was partially restored in 1817, and finally demol- ished by order of the city authorities in 1842. It does not appear whence the artist derived the name of Murillo. Cean Bermudez supposes it to have been adopted, according to a custom not infrequent at the time, from his maternal aunt, Ana Murillo. On the other hand, Senor Tubino, after carefully weighing the evidence, gives it as his opinion that the father's name was Gaspar Esteban Murillo, which opinion is accepted by Don Pedro de Madrazo. See Tubino, Murillo, 43-7, 86-7, Madrazo, Catalogo Mus. Prado, p. 464. This presumption is strengthened by the fact that Esteban, in Spanish, like its equivalent Stephen, in English, is commonly a Christian name, rather than a patronymic. 1628. January 8. Maria Perez, the mother of Murillo, was buried in the church of La Magdalena. His father died about the same time, as appears from a document hereafter noticed, bearing date January 23, 1668, in which the artist declares that his father died " cuarenta anos antes mas que menos." After the death of his parents Bartolome was placed in charge of Juan Agustin Lagares, a surgeon, who had married Ana Murillo, the boy's aunt. Lagares was also the boy's tutor, and guardian of his property. 39 306 MURILLO. 163-. Bartolome enters the school of Juan del Castillo, who resided at the time in the Plazuela de Santa Isabel, in the parish of San Marcos. Period of the Virgin and Child and Saints (No. 117), and Nuestra Senora del Rosario (No. 117a). 1639-40. Castillo, having removed from Seville to Cadiz, Murillo is thrown upon his own resources, and supports himself by painting pictures for the Feria. 1642. Pedro de Moya having returned from London, where he had studied under Van Dyck, Murillo is fired with the ambition to travel in foreign countries, in order that he might observe and study the works and methods of the great masters. To procure the money necessary for the purpose, he pur- chases a quantity of canvas, and dividing it into pieces of suitable dimensions, he covers it with figures of saints, flower pieces, landscapes, and other popu- lar subjects. These pictures he sells to the merchants trading to the Indies, and the money thus acquired enables him, early in 1642, to undertake the journey to Madrid. [Such, at least, is the story told in brief by Palomino, expanded by Cean Bermudez, and repeated by every subsequent biographer of the artist, but the accuracy of the statement may reasonably be called in question. Admitting that works painted at that period were crude and unworthy of his future fame, yet it is certain that paintings executed by Murillo while he was still in the school of Castillo, three years at least before he went to Madrid, were favorably known, and were considered characteristic of the mas- ter. See Catalogue No. 117 and No. 1 1 7a. During the past two centuries the dark places of the earth have been explored in search of pictures by Murillo, and thousands of foundlings of obscure parentage have been fathered on him, yet no picture corresponding with this period of his career has ever been found in the New World to lend support to this pleasant tale.] Murillo is well received in Madrid by Velazquez, who procures for him the entry into the royal palaces, with permission to copy such pictures as he may desire. Olivares is among the patrons of the young artist, who heartily mourns the fall of that minister in 1643. 1645. Murillo returns to Seville, and is at once employed to paint the eleven pict- ures in the small cloister of the Convent of San Francisco (see No. 268). He is engaged for three years on these works, and executes them in so surprising a manner that employment, riches, and fame are thrust upon him. 1648. He marries Dona Beatriz de Cabrera y Sotomayor, concerning whom nothing whatever is known, except that she was the daughter of Cosme del Corral y Sotomayor and Dona Beatriz Mejia, natives and residents of Pilas, — that she was born in Pilas, November 12, 1622, — that she brought some prop- erty to her husband, and died before him. [Some accounts will have it that she was of a noble family, and rich, but there is nothing to justify such a statement, and it is not mentioned by Palomino or Cean Bermudez. To assert that because she bore the name of Sotomayor she was of the noble family of that ilk, would be as hazardous as to assume that every man named Howard inherits " the blood of all the CHRONOLOGICAL DATA. 307 Howards." It appears from Murillo's will that his wife brought him a portion, but of its nature and extent we have no account. We may, however, conjecture that the olive trees at Pilas, mentioned in the will as being rented for five hundred reals a year, came to him by marriage. ] He changes his style from the first, or Frio, to the second, or Calido, manner, and paints the Flight into Egypt for the convent of La Merced (No. 126). The pictures of the Beggar Boys were probably executed about this time. 1652. The Brotherhood of Vera Cruz, in the convent of San Francisco, pay him 1,500 reals for the picture of The Conception (No. 50a). 1655. He paints St. Isidoro (No. 312), St. Leandro (No. 364), and the Birth of the Virgin, for the Cathedral. The Chapter, in accepting these paintings, praise the artist as being the best painter in Seville. This is the earliest mention of the name of Murillo as an artist in any existing document. 1656. He paints the -57. Antony and the Infant Jesus, for the baptistery of the Cathedral (No. 239), and the paintings for the Church of Santa Maria la Blanca. (No. 30, etc.). 165- . Francisca, the daughter of Murillo, and his oldest child, was born. In 1674 or 1675 she entered the Dominican Convent of Madre de Dios, at Seville, where she was at the time of her father's death. 1660. January 1. The Academy of Seville is founded, with Murillo as its first President. 1 66 1. October 22. Gaspar, the eldest son of Murillo, was baptized in the Church of Santa Cruz. He adopted the ecclesiastical career, and through the influence of Don Jose de Veitia Linage, Knight of Santiago, and Judge of the Royal Tribunal of the Indies, who had married a relative (cousin ?) of the artist, the son obtained in his father's lifetime a benefice at Carmona, whence, on the 1st of October, 1685, he was transferred to a canonry in the Cathedral at Seville. Not having taken the necessary oaths in due time, he was, on the 30th of April, 1688, condemned by the Chapter to forfeit one year's fruits of his stall, amounting to 8,000 reals. He died May 1, 1709, and was buried in the Cathedral (see No. 469). He was given to painting, and was an imitator of the style of his father. See Archives de la Santa Iglesia, quoted in Davies, Murillo, 183. 1662. April 12. Murillo makes application to the Brotherhood of the Santa Cari- dad for admission to membership in their order, which petition was granted June 14, 1665. Tubino, 90 note. 166- ? Gabriel, the second son, and third child of Murillo, is supposed to have been born. At the time of his father's death he was absent in the Indies, where he died at an advanced age. [If the portrait called Murillo's Son, belonging to the Duke of Alba (see No. 469), and the inscription it bears are to be accepted as authentic, it would appear that Gabriel was born in 1655. But this is doubtful, for all the notices concerning the family of the artist assume, without, however, pre- senting any facts in support of the assumption, that Don Gabriel was the youngest of the children.] 3o8 MURILLO. 1665. The pictures of the Good Shepherd and the Infant St. John were probably- executed about this time. 1668. January 23. Instrument of Release, executed by " Bartolome Morillo, pin- tor de imagines," living in the city of Seville, in the parish of Senor San Bartolome, to the Prior and Fathers of the Convent of San Pablo el Real, recites ; That the fathers of the said convent, in the month of January, 1613, in consideration of a rent of twenty thousand maravedis [588 reals and 8 ma- ravedis] and forty fowls to be annually paid, and such covenants as to repairs as the said Fathers ordinarily require in the leasing of their estates, rented to " Gaspar Esteban mi padre, que Dios haya," a house with two small dependencies in the parish of Sta. Maria Magdalena, in the plazuela of that convent, for the term of the life of the said Gaspar, and the life of his son or daughter, or such other person as he might by will or otherwise appoint ; and the said Gaspar Esteban, who died forty years ago, more or less, having named the said Bartolome as his successor in the enjoyment of the said lease ; and Juan Agustin Lagares, surgeon of this city, as tutor and guardian of the person and estate of the said Bartolome, having, on the 21st day of September, 1641, accepted in his behalf such nomination, and having obliged him to pay the said rent and to execute the said covenants ; and the said premises having been condemned by the Surveyor of Estates of the city of Seville, for want of repairs which he is unable to make ; therefore, the said Bartolome consents to pay 400 reals and to surrender to the said convent the premises named in said lease. The document is printed in full in Tubino, p. 91-96. [It is probable that the house above mentioned was that in which Murillo's father resided, and in which the son was born. But this is not absolutely certain, for it appears by Murillo's will that he died possessed of other houses in the same parish of La Magdalena, which were then occu- pied by a tenant.] Period of the paintings in the Chapter room of the Cathedral : the Con- ception (No. 23), and the eight circular pictures of Saints), No. 279, etc. 1670? Murillo is invited by Carlos II. to take up his residence in Madrid, but he declines on the score of his age. 1670-74. He paints the pictures in the Hospital of La Caridad (see No. 1). 1672. The first mention of Murillo's name in print occurs in Fiestas de la Santa Iglesia Metropolitana, by F. de la Torre Farfan, Sevilla, 1672. The artist is characterized as the " Apeles Sevillano " and " nuestro mejor Tiziano." 1676. He executes the paintings in the Capuchin Church (see No. 18). 1677. He is again mentioned in print as the " insigne pintor, Apeles Sevillano." by Don Diego Ortiz de Zuniga, in Annales eclesiasticos y seculares de Sevilla, Madrid, 1677. 1678. He paints the pictures for the Hospital de los Venerables Sacerdotes (see No. 29), and those for the Convent of St. Augustine (see No. 254). 1682. Murillo is employed to paint the altar-piece for the Capuchin Church at Cadiz (see No. 264). While engaged in this work he met with an acci- dent, from the effects of which he died in his house in the parish of Santa CHRONOLOGICAL DATA. 309 Cruz, at Seville, on the 3d day of April, about five o'clock in the afternoon. It is believed that he lived and died in the house No. 2 Plaza de Alfaro, the wall of which bears a tablet erected in 1858 by the Academy of Fine Arts, certifying to the fact. In the registry of the parish of Santa Cruz it appears that this house was once inhabited by Don Bartolome Murillo, Don Gaspar Murillo, Ana Maria, and Joseph Cano. Murillo's will was written, but not signed, on the day of his death. A translation will be found in this volume. 1682. April 4. Murillo was buried in the parish church of Santa Cruz, in the tomb belonging to the distinguished family of Hernando de Jaen, beneath a white marble stone bearing the words Vive Morittirus. It is not certain whether this stone and inscription were placed in honor of Murillo or of some previous occupant of the tomb. G. de Leon, i. 21. When the French occupied Seville, the church of Santa Cruz was destroyed. The invaders made diligent efforts to recover the ashes of the great artist, but were unable to separate his bones from those of the victims of a plague that ravaged Seville in 1649. « WILL OF BARTOLOME ESTEBAN MURILLO, AND INVENTORY OF HIS EFFECTS. In the name of God, Amen. To all to whom this testament may come. I, Bartolome Esteban Murillo, master of the art of painting, residing in Seville, in the collation of Santa Cruz, being infirm of body, but sound of mind, and in full enjoyment of my natural understanding and memory, such as God Our Lord has been pleased to give me, declaring firmly and truly that I believe the Divine Mystery of the Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, three persons really distinct, and one true and only God, and in all that appertains to that belief, acknowledging and confessing the Holy Mother Roman Cath- olic Church as christian, desiring to be saved, and seeking to be pre- pared for whatsoever God Our Lord may have in store for me, and trusting in the intercession of the ever Virgin Mary, our Lady, con- ceived without spot or stain of original sin from the first instant of her being, do make, acknowledge, and ordain my testament in form and manner following : First : I offer and commend my soul to God Our Lord, who made it and redeemed it with the infinite price of his precious blood, humbly praying that he will pardon it and bear it to rest in his glory ; and when it shall please his Divine Majesty to remove me from this present life, I direct that my body shall be interred in the aforesaid parish, and that on the day of my burial the customary Requiem Mass shall be sung for my soul.

I declare that Andres de Campos, living in the village of Pilas, owes me two thousand reals vellon, being the rent for four years of some olive trees, at the rate of five hundred reals each year, on account of which he has paid me ten arrobas of oil at eighteen reals each, and I direct that the remainder be collected. Item. I declare that there is due me, for rent of some houses which I own in La Magdalena, six months' rent at eight duros each for the past year, the writings for which were executed before Pedro Galves, a notary, Antonio Novela of this city being surety for the les- see of said houses, whose name I do not remember.

So I declare. Item. I declare that Dona Francisca Murillo, my daughter, a professed nun in the convent of Madre de Dios in this city, received [Stirling's copy of the will says renounced} her lawful dower, as appears by a writing made before Pedro Galves seven or eight years ago, more or less.

MAZO. One of the most important of the pupils of Velazquez was Juan Bautista Martinez del Mazo, who is supposed to have been born in Madrid somewhere about the year 1610. In due time he entered the studio of Velazquez, where he displayed so much talent, and so many other good qualities, that he obtained the favor of his master, and what was more, that of his master's daughter Francisca, whom he married in 1634. To advance the young man's fortunes, Velazquez at once resigned in his behalf the post of Ugier de Camara, and the King consented to bestow the office upon the ambitious and happy youth. Mazo continued to discharge the duties of this position until the eighth , day of October, 1658, when, with the King's consent, it was transferred to Gaspar, one of Mazo's numerous children. In 1652, Velazquez having been appointed Apose?itador del Rey, Mazo became his assistant, and in that capacity accompanied his chief, in 1660, on the unfortunate journey to Irun. Velazquez died six weeks after his return to Madrid, having appointed as executor of his will, his son-in-law, who resided with him in that part of the old palace, or Alcazar, called the Treasury. On the nineteenth day of the follow- ing April, Mazo succeeded his father-in-law as Court Painter. Soon after this appointment, his wife died, and in no long time he took to himself another, who outlived him. Mazo's death took place at his quarters in the Royal Palace, in the month of February, 1667, not in 3 18 PUPILS, FOLLOWERS, AND IMITATORS OF 1670, as Palomino states, nor in 1687, as the date is given by Cean Bermudez, Stirling and Burger. As Mazo was Court Painter, we might naturally look for numer- ous portraits by him of different members of the royal family. It is therefore somewhat surprising to find that there is no record of such portraits in the royal inventories, nor any tradition concerning them, unless we except the one attributed to him in the Museo . del Prado, No. 790, called Queen Mariana of Austria, second wife of Philip IV. As the Queen appears to be not more than twenty years of age, this painting must have been executed as early as 1655. She is dressed in black, with her right hand on the back of a crimson chair. Two children are seen through an open door in the background. The whole history of this portrait is obscure. In the old catalogue of the museum it was called a portrait of the infanta Maria Theresa, and attributed to Velazquez. The change, and the reasons which Don Pedro de Madrazo assigns for it, do not seem altogether satisfactory. The portrait No. 789, in the same museum, there is no reason to call in question. It is a full length of Don Tiburcio de Redin y Cruzat, a soldier of a noble family, who abandoned the camp and the court, became a Capuchin monk, and went on a mission to the Indians of Central America, where he died.* Mazo excelled in landscapes, hunting scenes, views of towns, etc. Of landscapes, thirteen are in the Museo del Prado. One of them, a View of Zaragoza, containing figures in the foreground, by Velazquez, is mentioned in the Catalogue of the Works of that master, ante page 27, No. 5 i.t A repetition is in the Hermitage, but it is only one-fourth the size of that in Madrid. According to Palomino, J he painted " en su menor edad el Senor Carlos Secundo, y a la Reyna Madre nuestra Senora en su viudedad con grande acierto y semejanza." It is not altogether certain whether these portraits were on one canvas, or two. If they were single * The portrait is engraved on wood in Blanc, Peintres, Vie de Mazo, and etched by Galvan in El Grabador al Agua Fuerte. t The picture is engraved on stone by Asselineau in the Coleccion Litografica, and on wood in Blanc, Peintres. % Museo Pictorico, Vol. III., p. 372. VELAZQUEZ AND MURILLO. 319 portraits, it may be that one of them, that of Carlos II., was formerly in the collection belonging to Louis Philippe.* It however seems more probable that Palomino referred to a picture in which the Queen mother, and her Son, who was but little more than five years old when Mazo died, were represented on the same canvas. In that case, two pictures are known that might cor- respond with the description given. They are repetitions of the same composition, and are to be found, one in the collection of portraits made by Don Valentin Carderera, and which since his death has become the property of the Duke of Villahermosa at Madrid ; the other was exhibited at the winter exhibition of the Royal Academy, in 1880, by J. C. Robinson, Esq., and now forms part of the large and valuable collection belonging to Francis Cook, Esq., at Richmond Hill. In the Carderera portrait Dona Mariana is represented at full length, the size of life, about thirty years of age, wearing the robes and head-dress of a widow, seated in a gallery ; in the background Carlos II. is seen, about four years of age, with several maids-of- honor and nurses, one of whom offers the child a glass of water. The picture is signed J. Bta. del Mazo. The age of the young King, and the costume of the Queen, indicate that the portrait was painted in 1665, the year in which Dona Mariana became a widow. Mr. Cook's picture is similar to the above, but somewhat smaller. The Earl of Carlyie has at Castle Howard a portrait of Queen Mariana, which is attributed to Pareja ; but it appears to be a repeti- tion of the above picture, and is probably by Mazo. The Hermitage contains, besides the landscape above mentioned, a Bust of the Saviour, who is seen blessing with his right hand, and holding a globe with his left. This is the only religious work by Mazo known to the writer. In the Berlin Museum, No. 413B, we find a " Copy after Velazquez " of the portrait of Philip IV., in which the King is seen at full length in hunting costume. The figure is the same as in the por- * Louis Philippe sale, 1853. No. 137. Portrait of Charles II, 1. 18x1.09, £10. In the catalogue of the Galerie Espagnole this portrait is said to be the one " cite par Palomino dans la vie de Mazo Martinez." 320 PUPILS, FOLLOWERS, AND IMITATORS OF trait in the Madrid Gallery ; but there are changes in the landscape, and the royal hunting seat at Segovia has been introduced in the background. This is one of the pictures purchased in 1874 from M. Suermondt, who attributed it to Mazo, and probably correctly. Mr. Cook has, besides the portrait above spoken of, another, which represents Don Baltasar Carlos (?), about ten years old, in armor, standing in a balcony, with a baton in his right hand, his left resting on a helmet which lies beside him on a table. In the Carderera collection of portraits is a half length of Philip IV., about fifty years old, dressed in black, with the collar of the Golden Fleece. The signature of the artist appears on a memorial, which the King holds in his right hand. To the above list of portraits we can only add that of A Cavalier, belonging to the heirs of the Infant Don Sebastian at Pau. When we remember that Mazo is reputed to have excelled in por- traiture, and that he was the successor of Velazquez as Court Painter, we may well be surprised that so few works of this class can be traced. A picture which we think is undoubtedly by Mazo, and one of the most interesting and important of them all, is that called the Family of Velazquez, in the Belvedere at Vienna. The reasons for attributing this work to him are given in the Catalogue of the Works of Velazquez, ante No. 24. A Portrait of Mazo, painted by Esteban March, is in the Museo del Prado. It has been etched by Galvan in El Grabador al Agua Fuerte, and is engraved on wood in Blanc, Peintres, Vie de Mazo. The above brief list comprises all the may be Pampeluna.

CARRENO DE MIRANDA. The most important and interesting of the followers of Velazquez, both on account of the quality and the number of his pictures, was Don Juan Carreno de Miranda. He was born in Aviles, March 25, 1 6 14, of a distinguished family. His father removed to Madrid in 1623, the same year in which Velazquez took up his residence in that city. On arriving at the proper age the youth was placed under the tuition of Pedro de las Cuevas, who instructed him in drawing, and of Bartoleme Roman, who taught him the use of colors. He dis- played such skill in his art as to attract the notice of Velazquez, who, having been appointed to superintend the works that were being car- ried on at the Alcazar and other royal palaces, chose Carreno as an assistant, in which capacity the young artist gave so much satisfaction that he continued, after the death of Velazquez, to enjoy the favor of the court, and in 1669 he was formally received into the royal service. In 167 1, on the death of Don Sebastian de Herrera, he was appointed Pintor de Camara, and made assistant Aposentador del Rey, to which honor was afterwards added the crowning one of the Cross of Santiago. Charles II. was so well pleased with the painter that he would permit 41 322 PUPILS, FOLLOWERS, AND IMITATORS OF none but him to paint the royal portrait. Carreno's death took place in Madrid in September, 1685. This artist executed numerous works in fresco for the royal palaces, and for many of the churches in Madrid, beside a much greater number for churches in Toledo, Granada, Orgaz, Pampeluna, Vitoria, the Escorial, etc. On some of these he had Francisco Rizi for a co-laborer. Cean Bermudez gives a long list of the paintings of Carreno, which it would be useless to copy, as most of the pictures have disappeared from the walls they once adorned. They were religious subjects and greatly esteemed, but his works of this class are now neglected, the preference being given to his portraits, partly, we may suppose, because we look to find in them evidences of the instruction he must have received from the prince of portraitists, Velazquez ; for although Carreno did not study under that master, yet he had the good sense to appreciate his wonderful qualities and to try to imitate them. The paintings by this artist most commonly seen are portraits, especially of the different members of the royal family of Spain. The face of Charles II. he repeated without end. Cean Bermudez mentions the portraits on horseback of Carlos II. and of his wife in the Casa de Ayuntamiento at Madrid ; also two of the same personages in the Escorial, and another in the palace of San Ildefonso. Neither of these is in the Museo del Prado, but that gallery contains two por- traits of the King, which are identical, except as to size. In these he is represented about twelve years of age, dressed in black, with white stockings, the badge of the Order of the Golden Fleece suspended on his breast, and a sword at his side ; his left hand, holding his hat, rests on a marble table ; in the right hand, which falls naturally, is a paper ; behind the table are two large mirrors.* A repetition is in the Museo Nacional del Fomento, at Madrid, and another in the Museum at Berlin (No. 407), where is also a Bust of the King, in a black dress, with the Golden Fleece (No. 407 B). This last was formerly in the Suermondt Gallery. In the collection formed by the late Don Valentin Carderera are three portraits of the King. In one of these he is seen at half length, * Photographed by J. Laurent, Madrid. VELAZQUEZ AND MURILLO. 323 about thirty years of age, wearing armor, and holding with his right hand his plumed helmet, which lies on a table. Palomino mentions a portrait of himself in armor which the King sent to France in aid of the negotiations for his marriage with Maria Louisa of Orleans.* This picture would not represent him as more than eighteen years of age, since he was married in 1679. The second is a bust, in a black dress, painted about the same time as the first. In the third he is somewhat older, and stands at full length beside a table, which is supported by two carved lions. Mr. Denison, formerly Speaker of the House of Commons, afterwards Lord Ossington, exhibited at Manchester in 1857, and at Leeds in 1868, a youthful portrait of Charles II., with a landscape background, in which the Escorial was seen. It was purchased by Mr. Denison at the sale of the ex- King Louis Philippe, in 1853, for ^■95. In the same sale was another full-length portrait, representing the King about seven or eight years of age, which sold for £19. The heirs of the Infant Don Sebastian, at Pau, have a full-length portrait of Charles II, the same size as Mr. Denison's. Another is at Hampton Court, dated 1665, and, consequently, painted when the King was about four years of age, standing with his left hand on a table. The portrait of Charles II., which is engraved in Blanc, Peintres, Vie de Carretw, is after a portrait in the Museo del Prado, No. 703. This picture was formerly ascribed to Carreno, but in the new cata- logue of the Museum it is given to Claudio Coello. Queen Mariana, mother of Charles II., and regent during the minority of her son, was painted several times. One of these por- traits, without doubt, is in the possession of Count Harrach at Vienna, and is mentioned in the catalogue of the works of Velazquez in this volume, No. 243a. Another is in the Museo del Prado, No. 689. This last is a full-length portrait, and is engraved in Blanc, Peintres. A third portrait, an excellent half length, signed by the artist, is to be seen in the Carderera collection. In the same collection are two half-length portraits of Dona Maria lonisa of Orleans, first wife of Charles II., some twenty or * Palomino, Museo Pidorico, 111,419. 324 PUPILS, FOLLOWERS, AND IMITATORS OF twenty-two years of age.

Palomino notices* a portrait of Don John of Austria. Two por- traits of this prince, by Carreno, are known; one, which is now in the collection of Sir William Stirling-Maxwell, Bart., was exhibited at Manchester in 1857; the other belongs to the heirs of the Infant Don Sebastian, who have also a portrait of Philip IV. A portrait of A Buffoon and a curious picture of an enormously Fat Girl are noticed in the Catalogue of the Works of Velazquez, No. 75a and 75c. Among his religious pictures may be named an excellent Magdalen, now in the Academy of San Fernando, at Madrid. She is represented with long hair falling on her breast, the lower part of her body envel- oped in a blue mantle, holding a skull in her hand, and looking up. It may be the celebrated picture which was, in the time of Cean Bermudez, in the convent of Las Recogidas. The interesting but ill-arranged Museo Nacional, at Madrid, includes the Martyrdom of St. Sebastian, a fine work, which is engraved in Blanc, Peintres. It is mentioned by Cean Bermudez as having been formerly in the convent of the nuns of Ballecas. The same museum contains St. Antony Feeding the Fishes, from the convent of the nuns of Caballero de Gratia; also Our Lady of A toe ha, signed. Among the Spanish pictures in the Hermitage is The Baptism of Christ, which may be the one formerly in the Capuchin Church at Plasencia ; t also, St. Damian, holding a box of medicines and looking up towards two angels who bring the crown and palm of martyrdom. A figure of St. Dominic is in the gallery at Pesth ; and A Bishop holding the Host, in the Academy at Vienna. The La Caze collection in the Louvre contains a picture of St. Ambrose giving Alms to the Poor. It may possibly be the one called St. Thomas of Villanueva, formerly in the Augustin Convent, at Toledo. I * Museo Pictorico, ill, 419. t Cean Bermudez, Diccionario, I, 270. % Ibid., 1, 267. VELAZQUEZ AND MURILLO. 325 Count Raczynski has the Assumption of the Virgin, with two Apostles, life-size, formerly in the parish church at Alcorcon, two leagues from Madrid. An excellent copy of Raphael's Spasimo di Sicilia is in the Academy of San Fernando. The Martyrdom of St. Bartholomew belongs to the gallery of the Infant Don Sebastian. The Saint is fastened by one arm to a tree, while two executioners are preparing to torture him ; horsemen and soldiers on the right. Dean Lopez Cepero had St. Antony the Abbot; and a full-length St. Isidro ; and Don Aniceto Bravo had a St. Jerome. A portrait of Carreno is engraved in Blanc, Peintres, but it is not stated where the original is to be found. It may be that the engrav- ing is after a picture by himself, formerly in the possession of Don Gaspar de Jovellanos, which was engraved by one of the followers of Don Juan Palomino.

Juan de Pareja, whose parents were of mixed, perhaps of Moorish blood, is supposed to have been born in Seville about 1606. The precise year of his birth is not known, nor is it known how or when he became the property of Velazquez, whether by inheritance or by purchase. In 1623, when the master was twenty-four and the slave seventeen years of age, they left Seville in company to take up their residence in Madrid. Pareja's duty was to attend to the per- sonal wants of Velazquez and to assist in the studio, where he ground the colors, cleaned the brushes, and performed other menial tasks. Twice he accompanied his master to Italy, on the last of which visits Velazquez painted Pareja's portrait. This work attracted so much atten- tion when it was exhibited in the Pantheon that its author was at once made a member of the Academy of St. Luke. It now belongs to the Earl of Radnor, or to the Earl of Carlisle. See Catalogue of the Works of Velazquez, ante No. 180 and 181. Pareja made good use of his hands, his eyes, and his ears while in his master's studio, and secretly employed the practices he wit- nessed, and the lessons he overheard. Philip IV., one day visiting Velazquez at the chambers of the latter in the royal palace, had his curiosity aroused by a picture with its face turned to the wall, and demanded to see it. He was greatly pleased with the work, and asked the name of the author. Pareja fell on his knees, confessed that the performance was his own, and besought his majesty's protec- tion. The King, struck with admiration for the genius he had discovered, turned to Velazquez, and said a man with such talent ought not to be a slave, whereupon his master set him free at once. But the grateful servant continued to serve Velazquez until the latter's death, and afterwards remained in the service of his daughter, who had married Juan Bautista del Mazo, until she in turn died. Pareja did not long survive her, dying in 1670. Although this artist lived to a ripe age, yet there are very few pictures that pass under his name, doubtless for the reason that it was but late in life that he commenced to paint. The discovery of VELAZQUEZ AND MURILLO. 327 his talent by Philip IV. is placed by Cean Bermudez after his return from Italy in 165 1, at which time Pareja was forty-five years of age. It is possible that some of his works may now be passing under the name of Velazquez. Four of his pictures are known in Spain. One is in the Museo del Prado at Madrid, a large composition of fourteen figures the size of life, representing the Calling of St. Matthew. It does not suggest the style of Velazquez, the rich architectural background and the accessories reminding one more of Paul Veronese.* The figure standing on the left of the canvas is said to be a portrait of the artist himself, and it is engraved as such in Blanc, Peintres. It may, however, reasonably be doubted whether this is a portrait of Pareja, for it represents a man of twenty-five rather than forty-five years and upwards, which was the age at which the artist is supposed to have begun to paint. The Museo Nacional, at Madrid, has three paintings by him : The Baptism of Christ, formerly in the convent of La Trinidad, at Toledo; the Presentation of Christ in the Temple ; and a Battle Piece, the last two signed by the master. Palomino cites a portrait of Joseph Rates, an architect of Madrid, that was often taken for a work of Velazquez. The Church of the Recoletos, at Madrid, in the time of Cean, possessed a St. John the Evangelist; a St. Oroncio ; and a Virgin a?id Child of Guadalupe . All these have disappeared. The following are now attributed to him: In the Dulwich Gallery is a bust of A Boy, about five years of age, formerly ascribed to Velazquez, but now to Pareja, on the authority of a very competent judge, Mr. J. C. Robinson. The works of Pareja are, however, so scarce that it is difficult to speak with certainty on such a point. According to M. Burger, Pareja is the author of a picture in the Munich Gallery which is at present attributed to Pereda. The subject is A Gentleman and a Lady playing cards. * The composition is engraved on stone by F. Taylor, in the Coleccion Lito- grafica, and on wood in Blanc, Peintres. A repetition, .54X.7 cm -> was m the sale of Marshal Soult, where it sold for 400 f. 328 PUPILS, FOLLOWERS, AND IMITATORS OF A half-length portrait of a Provincial of the Capuchin Order, in a black dress, holding a book, is in the Hermitage at St. Petersburg. The Earl of Yarborough has a portrait of Philip IV. ; and one of Isabel of Bourbon. As the Queen died in 1644, — seven years, at least, before the time when we suppose the discovery was made that Pareja was a painter, it is probable these pictures, if really by Pareja, were copied from originals by Velazquez. A portrait of Mariana of Austria, at Castle Howard, although attributed to Pareja, is probably a repetition of the portrait by Mazo, in the collection of the late Don Valentin Carderera, at Madrid. See ante, page 319. The portrait of Philip IV., engraved as by Pareja, in Blanc, Peintres, was formerly attributed to Velazquez, but in the catalogue of the Museo del Prado, in 1872, it was assigned to the " School of Velazquez." It is more likely that it is a copy by Mazo of the portrait by Velazquez, now belonging to Mrs. Huth, as stated in the Catalogue of the Works of Velazquez in this volume, No. 114. The Valenciennes Museum exhibits a doubtful picture of A Gypsy telling the fortune of a gentleman, while another gypsy picks his pocket.

Don Juan Alfaro y Gamez was born, in 1640, at Cordova, where he commenced his studies under Antonio del Castillo, but he finished them at Madrid in the school of Velazquez, whose portraits he learned to imitate. Besides being a painter, he was an engraver, VELAZQUEZ AND MURILLO. 329 and a writer, both of poetry and prose. Among his pupils was Palo- mino, who, on his master's death in 1680, came into possession of many useful books, manuscripts, and documents, which were of great service to him in writing the lives of the painters, especially that of Velazquez, the most compendious, the most exact, and altogether the most interesting and valuable biography that he produced. Alfaro's name appears on the title-page of the pamphlet which he caused to be printed, entitled " Memoria de las Pintvras, que la majestad Catholica del Rey nuestro Senor Don Philipe IV. embia al Monasterio de San Laurencio el Real del Escurial, este ano de M.DC.LVI. Descriptas, y colocadas, por Diego de Sylva Velaz- quez. . . . Dedica y consagra a la Posteridad, D. Ivan de Alfaro. Impresa en Roma, M.DC. LVIII." The works of Alfaro are neither numerous nor important. Only two are known to the writer: An Assumption of the Virgin, in the Museo Nacional at Madrid, and a bust portrait of Don A?ito7iio de So/is, author of La Conquista de Mejico. This last picture is in the choice collection of portraits formed by Don Valentin Carderera, but its authenticity is not so well established as might be desired.

This artist was born in Madrid in 1597, and studied under Velazquez, who was sometimes so good-natured as to assist his pupil by retouching his pictures. The skill of Juan de la Corte was chiefly displayed in landscapes, classical subjects, and battle pieces. He executed several works for the palace of Buen Retiro, one of which, 42 330 PUPILS, FOLLOWERS, AND IMITATORS OF representing the Siege of Valencia del Po, contained a head of Carlos Coloma, or Colonna, painted by Velazquez. This picture was prob- ably in the Altamira sale at London in 1827, and may be looked for now in England. See ante, page 22, No. 36a. A Christ Crucified, in the Museo Nacional at Madrid, is " attributed " to Juan de la Corte. He died in 1660. PUGA. Antonio Puga was not known to Palomino, or was not con- sidered worthy of that author's notice. The date of his birth and that of his death are alike unknown, and we have but few facts con- cerning him. Cean Bermudez classes him among the disciples of Velazquez, and says that in 1653 he painted six pictures, which were in the possession of Don Silvestre Collar y Castro, Secretary of the Council of the Indies. They represented familiar and domestic scenes, and resembled the early works painted by Velazquez before he left Seville. There is no picture by this master in any public gallery in Spain, and it would be difficult to find one in any private collection. The only works by him the writer has ever seen are, one in the Hermitage, and one in the gallery at Pesth. The first shows us a Traveling Knife -Grinder sharpening a knife on his wheel, with two hunters stand- ing before him, and on the left a woman in a black dress holding a bottle. The picture at Pesth is a head of an Old Nun. PALACIOS. Francisco Palacios was born in 1640, and commenced his studies under Velazquez, who died when his pupil was only twenty years of age. Palacios painted but few pictures, mostly historical. Cean Bermudez knew of but one work by his hand, although there were, he says, some excellent portraits by him in private collections. VELAZQUEZ AND MURILLO. 331 AGUIAR. Don Tomas de Aguiar flourished about 1660. He is named by Cean Bermudez as a disciple of Velazquez, who painted portraits with great credit. LUCENA. Don Diego de Lucena was born of an illustrious family in Andalucia, and studied under Velazquez in Madrid. His portraits, both small and large, greatly resembled the style of his master. A sonnet, composed in his honor by Atanasio Pantaleon, is found in that author's works. Lucena died in Madrid in 1650. MENESES OSORIO. Foremost among the followers of Murillo must be reckoned Francisco Meneses Osorio, who was born about 1630, and died in Seville about 1705. He was a member of the Academy of Seville, from 1666 to 1673, and in 1668-9 was honored with the office of Mayordomo. It is quite probable that he received his instruction in painting from Murillo. At all events he was greatly esteemed by that artist, and was employed to assist in some of his most important works, notably the paintings in the church of the Capuchins at Cadiz. Of the five pictures composing the retable of the high altar in that church, Murillo had executed at the time of his death only part of the large central one, the Marriage of St. Catherine. This was finished by Meneses, who also executed the four lateral paintings after the designs of Murillo. The subjects of these are: The Guardian Angel; St. Michael ; St. Francis with a crucifix ; and St. Joseph with the Infant Jesus. See ante, page 221, No. 264. There is nothing by this artist in the galleries at Madrid, but in the south of Spain his works are easily found. Cadiz offers some of 332 PUPILS, FOLLOWERS, AND IMITATORS OF them, the best of which, and a favorable specimen of his genius, is the Death of a Hermit, in the Museum of that city. A group on the left, in which the Virgin appears on clouds to the dying man, accompanied by the Magdalen, St. Catherine, and a choir of angels, might easily pass for the work of Murillo himself, so perfect is the imitation of his style. The Last Judgment, in the same gallery, a more ambitious, but a less pleasing performance, was, until recently, ascribed to Nicholas Pous- sin. There is a large painting in the Church of La Merced, at Cadiz, representing the Virgin appearing to St. Cayetano, who holds the infant Jesus in his arms with transport. The composition and the head of the Saint are supposed to be by Murillo, the remainder having been executed after Murillo's death, by Meneses. In Seville, where he studied, labored and died, there have been in times past many of his works, but very few are now to be found. The Museum has but one, depicting the Institution of the Third Order of St. Francis, an important work, containing many figures of monks, and some excellent heads and draperies. In the palace of San Telmo, belonging to the Duke of Montpensier, may be seen two Fish and Game Pieces, and, what is more important, an admirable Christ Pray- ing in the Garden of Olives. This painting offers a striking resem- blance in feeling and execution to that in the Louvre, attributed to Murillo, representing the same subject. One cannot help thinking the two pictures are by the same artist. See ante, page 196, No. 195. Meneses was the favorite assistant of Murillo, the most capable of his disciples, and the one who most faithfully reproduced the charm of his master's style, and the harmony of his coloring. He lived a long and doubtless a laborious life. That we have so few specimens of his skill may be due to the fact that he sunk his own individuality in that of his teacher, and that many of his works pass under the name of the greater artist. The following pictures are mentioned which has entirely disappeared, could by Amador de los Rios, but the collec- once show no less than sixteen specimens tions referred to have been either wholly by this master. Among them were : dispersed or greatly diminished since his St. Clara; St. Isabel; a Conception; account was published : the Virgen de Belem; St. Thomas; St. The gallery of Don Aniceto Bravo, John Baptist ; a portrait of the Vener- VELAZQUEZ AND MURILLO. 333 able Contreras ; the Virgen del Carmen, with the infant Jesus in her arms ; another Virgen del Carmen, oblong, with a number of Carmelite monks and nuns; a third Virgen del Carmen, with two figures at her feet imploring grace and protection ; and a Holy Family, signed and dated 1699. Don Jose Saenz possessed several paintings, the best of which were Si. Joseph with the infant Jesus in his arms ; and St. Rose praying before the infant Saviour. Don Jose Lerdo de Tejada had a Crucifix. Don Jose Larrazabal, Vice-Consul of France at Seville, possessed a St. Joseph, life-size. Don Jose Maria Suarez de Urbina had a St. Rosalie ; and a Magdalen. The gallery of Dean Lopez Cepero contained a half-length picture of St. A ngnstin, habited as a monk. Don Pedro Garcia de Leaniz had a work representing Doctors and Patriarchs adoring the Holy Sacrament ; St. Anne Teaching the Virgin ; and a bust of St. Rose. Cean Bermudez mentions only the following paintings by Meneses : Elijah ministered to by an Angel ; St. Philip Neri adoring the Virgin; also some " Nifios " which were thought to be his best works ; and a Conception which was greatly admired when the artist exhibited it before the Academy of Seville in 1666. All these works have disappeared. There have been the following sales of paintings by Meneses : Aguado sale, 1843. No. 118.

Don Alonso Miguel de Tobar was born in the year 1678 at Higuera, near Aracena, whence, at an early age, he removed to Seville, and placed himself under the instruction of Juan Antonio Fajardo, a painter of but little merit. He afterwards thought to improve his style by copying the works of Murillo, which he did with such exactness that he became the most noted of all the imitators of that master. The success he achieved in this line was such that he made for himself a greater name than he has acquired by inde- 334 PUPILS, FOLLOWERS, AND IMITATORS OF pendent work, although we have seen paintings by his hand that show him to have possessed qualities that would enable him to take a high rank as an original artist. Some time before 1720 he became a Familiar of the Holy Office, and in that year he executed for the Cathedral of Seville his most famous picture, called Nuestra Sefiora del Consuelo, which procured for him the favor of Philip V., who visited Seville in 1629, and who appointed him Court Painter on the death of Teodoro Ardemans in that year. On receiving this appointment, Tobar removed to Madrid, where he occupied himself chiefly in portraiture until his death in 1758. Tobar was one of the most perfect of all the disciples or copyists of Murillo, whose free-handling and warm, harmonious color- ing he imitated closely. Probably much of the work he executed during his long life passes under the name of his great exemplar. The painting in the Seville Cathedral is considered his master- piece, and shows that if he had not preferred to spend his time in copying, and in portraiture, he might have excelled in a different branch of art. It represents the Virgin of Consolation, enthroned, with the infant Saviour in her arms, and St. Francis of Assisi, and St. Antony of Padua standing on either side. In the foreground is a surpliced priest, kneeling. This picture, of which all the figures are the size of life, and at full length, bears the signature, D Alonso Miguel de Tobar, Familiar del Sto. Oficio fee. a 1720. The only original paintings by his hand in any public gallery in Spain are a Virgin a?id Child; and the Virgi?i appearing to St. Francis, in the Academy of San Fernando. There are, however, some excel- lent copies after Murillo. One, of the Virgen de la Faja, in the Museum at Cadiz, is an excellent specimen of his talent as a copyist. There are also in the Church of S. Isidoro at Seville, admirable copies by him, after Murillo. One is after the Good Shepherd, belonging to Baron Rothschild {ante, page 185, No. 167), the other is after the Infant St. John in the National Gallery at London [ante, page 245, No. 322). In the Museo del Prado is an important copy by him of the Portrait of Murillo, probably made after the one belonging to Earl Spencer (No. 464a). VELAZQUEZ AND MURILLO. 335 The Museo del Prado contains a picture formerly attributed to Tobar, representing the Virgin as the Good Shepherdess. She is seated on a rock feeding some lambs with roses ; above are grouped a num- ber of angels, and in the background, a stray sheep, rescued by an angel from the pursuit of a dragon. This composition was considered worthy of being engraved as the work of Tobar, in the Coleccion Lito- grafica, and of being etched by Mrs. Jameson in Legends of the Madonna, but it has lately been restored to German Llorente. The gallery of the Duke of Montpensier at Seville has a very fine copy of the St. Thomas of Villanueva, dividing his clothes among some poor children in the street, after the original by Murillo in the possession of Lord Ashburton. The copy is either by Tobar or by Villavicencio, probably the former. In the Museum at Berlin we may see a St. Joseph, holding in his arms the infant Jesus, who, seizing the drapery, looks towards his father with respect and affection; painted in an oval border. The picture was purchased at the sale of Marshal Soult for 1,150 francs. The Hermitage contains a half-length figure of A Boy, crowned with vines, seated on a marble balustrade, blowing soap bubbles. Mr. McClellan formerly had a St. Joseph with the Infant Jesus. The collection was presented by its owner to the city of Glasgow, and the picture may now be looked for in the Museum of that city. A Portrait of Murillo, attributed to Tobar, is in the collection of the late Sir William Stirling- Maxwell at Keir. A Monk Praying, in the Museum at Nancy, is attributed to Tobar, but it seems rather to resemble the manner of German Llorente. The gallery belonging to the heirs of the Infant Don Sebastian, which was in 1881 transferred temporarily to the Museum at Pau, con- tains a picture of the Virgin iti Contemplation, and a portrait of a Spanish Infanta. There is also a portrait of Olivares (?), who died thirty-three years before Tobar was born. The following paintings by Tobar for- In the gallery of Don Aniceto Bravo merly existed in different private collec- was a St. Francis de Paul, life-size, which tions in Seville : has often been mistaken for a work of 336 PUPILS, FOLLOWERS, AND IMITATORS OF Murillo; two pictures of the Conception, one of them the size of life, with twenty- two cherubs ingeniously disposed ; and a Virgen del Rosario, in which the Virgin is seated on clouds, with the child in her lap, supported by a group of graceful cherubs. Among the eighteen hundred pictures, chiefly of the school of Seville, formerly in the possession of Don Jose Saenz, was a Mater Dolorosa; St. Michael vanquishing Lucifer with his flaming sword; and the Apotheosis of 'St. Gertrudis. Don Jose Larrazabal had St. John in the desert comforted by angels. Don Jose Olmedo had a Conception with angels, less than life-size; somewhat injured by restorers. Cean Bermudez mentions two pictures by Tobar, both of which are now lost : — a portrait of Cardinal de Molina, and a copy executed for the Church of Santa Maria la Blanca at Seville, of the Holy Family and St. John, by Murillo.

Don Pedro Nunez de Villavicencio was a native of Seville, where he was born in 1635. His family was illustrious, and so numer- ous that Charles II. was accustomed to say, it was a nation, not a family. He took lessons in painting from Murillo, probably more for diversion than as a serious occupation. The duties required of him as a Knight of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem having called him to Malta, he there became acquainted with Matias Preti, 77 Calabrese, who was also a member of the Order of St. John, and under him Don Pedro continued his studies, perfecting himself chiefly in claro obscuro. He seems to have had from the first a faculty for imitation, for we find that among his remarkable productions at Malta was a Magdale?i that was taken for the work of his master, Preti. VELAZQUEZ AND MURILLO. 337 Returning to Seville, Don Pedro resumed his studies under Murillo, who treated him not as a pupil, but as a friend. These two artists labored together in the establishment of the Academy of Seville in 1660, and continued to live in the strictest intimacy until the death of Murillo, who is said to have died in his pupil's arms. The last act of the dying painter was to appoint Villavicencio one of the executors of his will. Soon after the death of his master and friend, Don Pedro took up his residence in Madrid, where he acquired the favor of Charles II. by presenting him with the picture of Boys Playing Dice, which the King sent to the Palace of Zarzuela, but which is now in the Museo del Prado. Don Pedro also presented a picture about the same time to the Count of Monterey, a noted patron of the arts. Villavicencio died in Seville in the year 1700. Palomino mentions a portrait of the Cardinal Ambrosio Spinola, which has been engraved, and Cean Bermudez notes four pictures representing passages in the life of the Virgin, which were, up to the time of the French invasion, in the choir of the Convent of the Carmen Calzado at Seville. Villavicencio was probably more of an amateur than an artist, and the only pictures in which we are able to trace the style of Murillo are representations of peasant boys and scenes of familiar life. In these he showed great facility. He is commonly reputed to have excelled in portraits, but we know of none except two of Cardinal Spinola, formerly in private collections in Seville. Don Jose de Madrazo says he has never seen a portrait by his hand. The fame he has enjoyed is chiefly that reflected on him as a friend and pupil of Murillo. His best work is the Boys Playing Dice, above referred to, now in the Museo del Prado. Six ragged urchins are grouped together on the right of the composition, two of whom are playing dice on a cloak spread on the ground before them. The game is watched by two other boys, while two roguish fellows are slyly abstracting the stakes. On the left is a girl holding a rose, and a child with a piece of bread ; other figures in the background.* * The picture is engraved in the Colcccion Litograjica, and photographed by Laurent. 43 338 PUPILS, FOLLOWERS, AND IMITATORS OF A picture in the Hermitage, attributed to Villavicencio, represents Two Boys PlayingDice. It is a repetition of a picture in the Academy at Vienna, ascribed to Murillo. (See Murillo Catalogue, No. 441.) To this artist should also, we think, be attributed the painting in the Munich Gallery of Four Boys Playing Cards, the coloring of which does not resemble that of Murillo as seen in the other pictures of the beggar boys in the same gallery. (See Murillo Catalogue, No. 455.) In a small picture in the Cadiz Museum, St. Gregory the Great, St. Ambrose, and some of the Fathers of the Church are discussing the doctrine of St. Ambrose in the presence of the Eternal Father, the Son and the Virgin. The Gallery at Pesth contains a Boy with Two Dogs. Don Aniceto Bravo formerly had the following pictures by Villavicencio : St. Raphael, full length ; the Death of St. Joseph, noticeable for its excellent heads, its rich draperies, and especially for the figure of the Virgin ; a portrait of Car- dinal Ambrosio Ignacio Spinola ; the Virgin of the Rosary holding the Child in her lap ; a Virgen de Belem, with the Child in her arms, and several angels in a glory above ; and a Virgin of the Con- ception, sustained in the air by a group of angels. Don Pedro Garcia had a St. Bernard adoring the Virgin ; The Infant Jesus and St. John ; St. Theresa in ecstasy ; and a Flight into Egypt. Don Jose Larrazabal had an admirable portrait of Cardinal Spinola. Don Francisco Romeo de Balmaseda had St. Raphael ; and a Nino a la E spina.

Esteban Marquez was born, somewhere about the year 1655, in Estremadura, but studied painting in Seville, under his uncle, Fer- nando Marquez Joya, who was of the school of Murillo. On the death of his master, about 1672, Esteban, who was still a boy, was employed by a shopkeeper in the Feria to paint pictures for the American market, as Murillo is said to have once done. This situa- tion he soon lost for incompetency, and he returned discouraged to his native village, where he tarried but a short time, when he was again driven by want to seek his fortunes in Seville. This time he applied himself to his art with so much diligence and resolution that he soon became expert, chiefly, however, as a copyist and imitator of Murillo. He died in Seville in 1720. Stirling thinks that he, with Meneses Osorio, and Tobar, produced among them more than half the works which pass under the name of Murillo, an estimate which we think exaggerated. It is nevertheless true that these three artists were the best of the simulators of Murillo's style, and that many of their works have formerly passed, and some still pass, under his name. Cean Bermudez mentions a picture painted by him for the con- vent of the Terceros at Seville, the subject of which he does not name. For the Trinitarios Descalzos, in that city, he executed the Ascension of Our Lord, containing some heads of the Apostles, in which he displayed great freedom and skill. With the assistance of Juan Simon Gutierrez, he painted for the same church eight works representing passages in the Life of the Virgin. These were in 18 10 taken to England, and sold at Christie's as originals by Murillo. (See Murillo Catalogue, No. 54a.) There were also some paintings by him in the Convent of Agustin Recoletos, among them one in which the Saviour appears to St. Peter on the shore of the sea. He painted the fourteen full-length, life-size figures of Christ, the Virgin, and the Twelve Disciples, on the columns of the Church of the Hospital del Sangre. They contain some good heads, full of dignity and character. 34-0 PUPILS, FOLLOWERS, AND IMITATORS OF The Seville Museum contains three paintings by him, one of which is St. Joseph with the Infant Saviour* The other two, St. Augustin with Jesus and the Virgin, and St. Augustin with the Infant Saviour, may be among the paintings executed for the Augustin Convent. In the Cathedral at Cadiz is a St. Joseph with the lily branch, holding the Child Jesus by the hand. A Christ with the Woman of Samaria was formerly in the posses- sion of Don Pedro Garcia de Leaniz. MARQUEZ JOYA. Fernando Marquez Joya, a painter of Seville, was an uncle and the master of Esteban Marquez. A portrait of Cardinal Spinola, painted by him in 1649, was engraved by Van der Go wen at Amster- dam. In 1668 he became a member of the Academy of Seville, and retained his connexion with that body, contributing his share towards its expenses until 1672, when he is supposed to have died. He fol- lowed the manner of Murillo, but so few of his works are known that it is difficult to speak confidently concerning them. In the Aguado sale, No. 117 was a falling on his shoulders, holding a crayon portrait by Marquez Joya, of a Young in his right hand and a drawing before Artist in a black costume, with long hair him. i.ooX-78. 80 francs. GOMEZ. Sebastian Gomez, El Mulato de Murillo, was of mixed blood, and born in servitude, like Juan Pareja, the slave of Velazquez. What we know of Murillo's father, and of his own straightened circum- stances in youth, make it probable that Gomez came into his master's possession by purchase after Murillo's marriage in 1648. As a slave, * This picture has been photographed by J. Laurent, No. 11 17. VELAZQUEZ AND MURILLO. 341 Gomez was employed in servile occupations, and in grinding colors, and cleaning the pencils that he afterwards became expert in handling. There is a tradition that he first made his talents known by completing a head of the Virgin which his master had sketched and left unfinished on the easel. Both master and slave are supposed to have died in the same year, 1682, although it would appear by some papers of the Conde del Aguila, preserved in the municipal archives of Seville, that Gomez was living as late as 1730. The style of El Mulato resembled that of his master, but he had the fatal defect, common to all the followers of the School of Seville, an inaptitude for drawing. Care should be taken not to confound this artist with another Sebastian Gomez, who was a native of Granada, and a follower of the school of Alonso Cano. Cean Bermudez notices by Gomez a beautiful Virgin and Child in the Church of the Mercenarios Descalzos at Seville; a Christ at the Column, with St. Peter kneeling at his feet; and St. Joseph and St. Anne ; the last two works in the Capuchin Convent. All these have disappeared. A good specimen of his style is a full-length, life-size picture representing the Holy Family in a chamber in the house of Joseph, still to be seen in the Contaduria of the Cathedral at Seville. A Conception, with a group of angels, in the Museum at Seville, has a strong resemblance to the manner of Murillo, especially in the coloring.* There is in the Hermitage a half-length figure of St. Francis of Assisi looking up, holding a cross in his hands which are marked with the stigmata and joined on his breast. The picture was purchased at the sale of Marshal Soult for 135 francs. There are but few pictures of this artist known, and it is probable that most of his life was spent in servile labors. The following paintings by Sebastian length, with his hands crossed on his Gomez, el Mtclato, have been sold : breast, looking down towards a cross ; a Soult sale. No. 79.

Don Francisco Antolinez y Sarabta was a native of Seville, where he was born in 1644. He was destined for the Bar, but having a natural taste for art, which was strengthened by his relationship to Don Jose Antolinez, his uncle, he gave to painting as an amusement the time he should have devoted to the law as a duty. He became a follower of Murillo and was a co-worker with him in the Academy of Seville until 1672, when he left his native city to seek his fortunes in Madrid under the patronage of his uncle, who had preceded him to the capital. His plans were changed by the death of this relative in 1676, when he turned his attention again to the law, which he attempted to mingle with politics. But this experiment was a failure, for although he procured himself to be chosen Alcalde for several towns, yet his eccentric, unmanageable disposition constantly barred the way to success. Returning to Seville, he again sought to estab- lish himself as an advocate ; but his infirmity of temper still thwarted his efforts, and he was forced to use his pencil to gain a livelihood, which, however, he did in secret, as he preferred throughout his life to be considered the man of letters, which he was not, rather than the artist, which he might aspire to be. His wife having died, he deter- mined to take orders, and to that end again repaired to Madrid, where he died in the year 1700, without having accomplished his latest desire. Don Francisco imitated Murillo, especially in the grace and freshness of his coloring, and he succeeded better in drawing than most of the disciples of that artist. His pictures are usually small, VELAZQUEZ AND MURILLO. 343 and chiefly landscapes, into which are introduced scenes in the life of the Virgin, Saints, or Patriarchs. Palomino, who gives the name of this artist as Don Francisco Ochoa y Antolinez, says he saw a small painting by him, about eleven inches in height, which he valued at 100 pesos, thinking it to be by the hand of Murillo. The subject was The Virgin in Egypt, assisting some pious women to wash and care for the clothing of the Infant Jesus. He adds that Antolinez was accustomed to paint six, eight, or ten pictures in a series, of a vara or less in size ; also excellent small portraits, one of which, that of his daughter, was worthy to be compared with the best in its line. This artist is often confounded with his uncle, Jose, an error into which the writer of the life in Blanc, Peintres, has fallen, especially in his list of the painter's works. A good specimen of the manner of this artist is a Nativity in the Cathedral at Seville. The Duke of Montpensier has in the Palace of San Telmo two small companion pictures, a St. Joseph with the Infant Jesus ; and St. Joseph Dreaming. Five sketches are to be seen in the Museo Nacional at Madrid, which were formerly in the Church of S. Felipe in that city. They represent the Purification of the Virgin; the Adoration; the Flight into Egypt; the Annunciation ; and the Marriage of the Virgifi. Don Aniceto Bravo formerly possessed ^5 $s. No. 157.

Ignacio Iriarte was born in 1620 at Azcoita, in Guipuzcoa, where he obtained his first instruction in painting from some provincial teacher. In 1642 he went to Seville and placed himself under the tuition of Herrera the elder, who thirty years before had counted Velazquez among his scholars. It was from Herrera that Iriarte obtained his knowledge of coloring, although his manner in after years did not so much resemble Herrera's as that of the prevailing school of Seville. Finding that he had no capacity for drawing, Iriarte wisely abjured figures and devoted himself exclusively to land- scapes, in which he attained such excellence that Murillo said Ignacio made landscapes by divine inspiration. In 1646 Iriarte married, at Aracena, Dona Francisca de Chaves; but she soon died, and in 1649 he took to himself another wife, Dona Maria Escobar. He interested himself in the founding of the Academy of Seville, and became its first Secretary, an office which he again filled from 1667 to 1669, after which date we do not find his name among the members of that body. He died at Seville in 1685. Though often mentioned in connection with Murillo, Iriarte cannot be considered either a pupil or an imitator of that master. He does not appear to have attempted religious or figure pieces, and the only reason for naming him as one of the school of Murillo is found in the story told by Palomino. Murillo, he says, having been chosen by the Marques de Villa- Manrique to paint a series of large paintings containing scenes in the life of David, wished to have the landscapes painted by Iriarte, who excelled in that branch of art. A dispute having arisen as to which should first perform his part of the work, Murillo ended it by taking it upon himself to paint the pictures without assistance. Stirling suggests that it may have been this quarrel that caused Iriarte to withdraw from the Academy. In that case, the pictures referred to were executed about 1670. (See Murillo Catalogue, No. 10.) The landscapes of this artist, although warm and harmonious in coloring, are affected and artificial in composition, and fail to justify VELAZQUEZ AND MURILLO. 345 the title of the Spanish Claude, which has sometimes been bestowed upon him. His works are not rare. Four landscapes are in the Museo del Prado, and one in the Hermitage. Don Julian Williams formerly had four landscapes by Iriarte, one of which passed into the possession of the late Sir Frederick Roe, and was in his house in London. It contains a ruined castle at the foot of wooded hills, with a waterfall and sheep in the foreground. Dean Lopez Cepero possessed six landscapes by Iriarte, one of them a View of Seville, from Triana. Don Jorge Diez Martinez had no less than twelve landscapes. A landscape belonged to Don Jose de Madrazo, and seven others to Don Jose Arasabla, for- merly Consul of France at Seville.

Antonio del Castillo y Saavedra, a native of Cordova, was born in 1603, of an illustrious and artistic family. He was a son of a distinguished artist, Agustin Castillo, and nephew of Juan del Castillo, the first instructor of Murillo. Agustin, the father, having died in 1626, the son repaired to Seville and placed himself under the tuition of Zurbaran. After completing his studies, he returned to Cordova, where he at once took a high rank in his profession, and the remainder of his days were passed in his native city, whose cathedral and churches he adorned with frescoes and paintings in oil, mostly of religious sub- jects. He also occupied himself in giving lessons in painting to such pupils as chose to resort to him for instruction. Among his scholars was Juan Alfaro y Gamez, who, after leaving Cordova, completed his studies with Velazquez. Concerning this 44 346 PUPILS, FOLLOWERS, AND IMITATORS OF man a story is told which has become a classic in the history of Spanish art. After finishing his studies in Madrid, Alfaro returned to Cordova, puffed up with the idea of his own powers. He was soon employed to paint some pictures for the Convent of San Francisco, in executing which he eked out his own poverty of invention by copying from some engravings after works by the Italian masters, and these paltry things he signed conspicuously, Alfaro pinxit. Castillo was piqued with the young man's conceit, and, wishing to give him a lesson, he obtained a commission to make a painting of the Baptism 'of St. Francis for the same convent, which, when finished, he simply signed, Non pi?ixit Alfaro. Antonio enjoyed a high reputation in his lifetime, and it had not entirely died away when Palomino wrote, for that heavy author employs almost as many words to describe this artist and his works as he gives to Murillo. Both he and Cean supply us with long lists of Castillo's pictures, but nearly all of them have disappeared. While alive to the vanity of others, Castillo was not himself destitute of that comfortable quality. In 1666, full of honor, and confident in himself, he resolved to revisit Seville, where he had not been since he left that city as a youth. The fame of Murillo had reached him, but the Cordovan Themistocles lost no sleep on account of the victories of the Sevillian Miltiades. Incredulous as to the reports he had received, and secure in the belief that he was himself the fore- most painter of Spain, he thought to display his powers in the Anda- lusian capital. The artists there received him with the courtesy and respect due to his years and recognized position, and in due time they led him to see the wonderful paintings which Murillo, twenty years before, had painted for the small cloister of the Convent of San Fran- cisco. When he came into their presence he was astonished, and could not tear himself from the spot, nor would he believe them to be the works of Murillo. Again, he was taken to the Cathedral, and shown the St. Isidoro, the St. Leandro, and the St. Antony with the Infant Jesus, in the Baptistery, when, carried away by his enthusiasm, he exclaimed, " Ya murio Castillo. Can it be possible that Murillo, the pupil of my uncle, is the author of so much grace and beauty ? " VELAZQUEZ AND MURILLO. 347 He returned to Cordova overcome with chagrin, and, full of the recollections of Murillo, he painted in the style of that master a pic- ture of San Francisco, which Cean Bermudez considered his master- piece. Shortly after completing this work he took to his bed, and died the following year, 1667, of disappointment and melancholy. It is unnecessary for the purposes of this work to give a list of the paintings by Castillo, as they are not likely to be of special interest to the student of the school of Seville. GERMAN DE LLORENTE. Don Bernardo German de Llorente was born in Seville in 1685, and died in that city in 1757. He received his education as an artist from Cristobal Lopez, a Pinior de la Feria, one who gained his living, as Murillo is said to have done, by painting canvases for the India traders, the seat of whose commerce was Seville. From this man Bernardo learned the use of his brushes, and how to imitate the coloring of Murillo. A capuchin monk, Frey Isidoro of Seville, at that time created a furore in Andalusia by his description of the Virgin as a shepherdess. Llorente made some reputation by depicting her in that manner on canvas, whence he received the appellation of Fl Pintor de las Pastoras. One of his representations of this subject was executed as a missionary banner for Frey Isidoro. A repetition of this picture is in the Museo del Prado, where it was formerly ascribed to Tobar, and it is lithographed as a work of his in the Coleccion Litograjica. There is also an etching of it by Mrs. Jameson in the Legends ofihe Madonna. In the revision of the Catalogue of the Madrid Gallery the painting was restored to Llorente. Don Valentin Carderera had a small repetition, with some variations in the figures of the angels. The subject is the Virgin seated on a rock in a landscape, feeding with roses some sheep which are grouped around her. When Philip V. and Queen Isabel Farnese were in Seville in 1729, Llorente painted a portrait of their son, the infant Don Felipe, which 348 PUPILS, FOLLOWERS, AND IMITATORS OF gave such satisfaction that the artist was rewarded with a series of engravings by Audran, after Lebrun, representing the Battles of Alexander. He might at that time have received an appointment as Court Painter if he had desired, but his gloomy spirit did not accord with the gay scenes of the court, and he preferred to pass his days with the friars of Seville. His fame, however, had travelled beyond his native city, and on the organization of the Academy of San Fer- nando he was made an honorary member. Llorente was a tolerable imitator of Murillo, but his coloring, though luminous, lacked harmony, his touch was heavy and con- strained, his shadows thick, and he lacked the grace and accuracy of drawing that characterized his great exemplar. The use of bitumen in his colors has blackened and destroyed the quality of many of his works. Cean Bermudez gives a brief list of his paintings, all of which have now disappeared. He also says that many were to be seen in private houses in Seville, and many have been exported as originals by Murillo. The Duke of Montpensier has a small St. Rosalia.

Don Josef de Rubira, a son of Andres de Rubira, a painter, was born in Seville in 1747. He devoted himself to copying the works of Murillo, which he did with great exactness. There was formerly in the possession of Don Francisco de Bruna a copy by Rubira of the picture by Murillo, now in the National Gallery at London, called the Pedroso Holy Family. Cean Bermudez says this copy might have been taken for an original. Not meeting with the success he hoped for in painting, Rubira abandoned this profession and took to sculpture, in which he was VELAZQUEZ AND MURILLO. 349 equally unsuccessful. He then engaged in the manufacture of coaches, which trade he carried on until he died in 1787. ESCOBAR. Alonso de Escobar is mentioned by Cean Bermudez as an imi- tator of the style of Murillo, who lived at Seville at the end of the seventeenth century. A good picture by his hand, representing an apparition of the Virgin and Child, was in the choir of the Convent of La Merced Calzada, in that city. GUTIERREZ. One of the most fertile and most successful of the copyists of Murillo was Juan Simon Gutierrez, a native of Seville, and a mem- ber from 1664 to 1672 of the Academy which Murillo assisted in establishing in that city. The date of his birth and that of his death are unknown, but he is believed to have died in the early part of the eighteenth century, leaving behind him but few pictures that bear his name, but many that pass under the name of his master. Cean Bermudez mentions four paintings by him. His master- piece was a half-length of the Virgin with the Child in her arms, in the Convent of La Regina Angelorum, which resembled a work of Murillo; the Virgin of the Rosary, with the Child, supported on a throne of angels, in the cathedral of his native city ; the Saviour tak- ing leave of his mother when he was about to undergo his suffering on Calvary ; and a picture in the Convent of the Terceros, the subject of which is not given. In the Museum at Seville may now be seen four important specimens of his handiwork, brought, on the suppression of the religious houses, from the Convent of S. Pablo. They are semi- circular in form and represent passages in the life of St. Dominic. In one of them, the Saint is making confession of his sins to Christ. In 350 PUPILS, FOLLOWERS, AND IMITATORS OF another, he is visited in his last illness by the Saviour and the Virgin. In the third, the death of the Saint is portrayed. The first two are the best, and are very creditable works.* In the Royal Institution at Liverpool is a picture representing the Ecstasy of St. Francis. The Church of Nuestro Senora de la an apple, the figures half-length, life size ; O. at Seville had once a painting of St. Louis of France ; St. Francis de Paul ; Jesus, Mary, and Joseph. St. James as a pilgrim; St. John the Don Aniceto Bravo possessed in his Evangelist ; St. Sebastian; St. Roch; St. gallery twelve works by Gutierrez. They Andrew ; St. Peter; St. Joseph; St.Joa- were half-length figures, one and a half quin; and St. Anna. They were all varas in height and three-quarters of a brought, during the occupation of Seville vara in breadth, and represented The by the French in 1811, from the Convent Virgen de Belem, or de la Manzana, with of La Assumpcion. PEREZ. Andres Perez, a son of Francisco Perez de Pineda, was born in Seville in 1660, and died in that city in 1727. His father was, from 1664 to 1673, a member of the Academy of Seville and con- tributed his share towards its expenses. Andres received his instruc- tion in art from his father, and both were counted among the followers of the school of Murillo. The works of Francisco are rarely to be met with, but those of Andres are sufficiently abundant in Seville. Six paintings by him are in the Museum of that city. The subjects are : St. Angustin and St. John Chrysostom, wearing bishop's robes, and seen at full length, standing. These two are companions, about fourteen inches high. The others are Christ Crowned with Thorns ; St. Jerome ; St. Vincent Ferrers ; and St. Ambrose^ * When the writer first visited Seville there were three hundred and seventy- three pictures in the Museum; there are now, as appears by the last catalogue, only one hundred and eighty-seven. Doubtless those that have been removed are not important in themselves, but their absence is a serious loss to one who visits the gallery to study the School of Seville. t Did not the Museum contain some years ago the Last Judgment, painted for the Capuchin Church, signed and dated 1713 ? VELAZQUEZ AND MURILLO. 351 The following pictures by Andres Perez were formerly in Seville : In the Church of Santa Lucia, a paint- ing relating to the Sacrament. Church of S. Miguel. The Marriage of the Virgin ; St. Districts, the good robber; St. Joseph; and St. Antony of Padua. The last two were half-length figures, surrounded by a garland of flowers. Church of San Roman. St. Antony and Santa Barbara, both half-length. Capuchin Church. Twelve figures of The Apostles, half-length. Don Aniceto Bravo possessed a Santa Lucia; Santa Marina ; Santa Ursula; and Santa Barbara; greatly esteemed for the beauty of the draperies. Don Pedro Garcia was in possession of two small Hilanderas. Don Jose Saenz had several pictures, among them two A rchangels; St. Francis praying in the desert ; and some figures of the Apostles. Query : were these last, the pictures formerly in the Capuchin Church ? Don Jose Lerdo de Tejada had The Trinity ; and St. Christopher. GARZON. Juan Garzon was a disciple of Murillo, whose manner he closely imitated. He was a close friend of Meneses Osorio, and these two artists labored much together on the same canvas. His death occurred in Seville in 1729. There are but few works known by his hand. The only one the writer recalls was sold in the Aguado sale for one hundred and thirty-five francs. It represented three children in a trough, apparently praying, and may have been a fragment of a picture of St. Nicholas of Bari. Among the other copyists or imitators of Murillo may be briefly named the following : Don Joaquin Josef Cano, a disciple of Domingo Martinez, was at the time of his death, in the year 1784, Secretary of the School of Design in Seville. He was unrivalled in his time for his copies of the pictures of the Virgin and Child, and other subjects by Murillo. Josef Lopez is mentioned by Cean Bermudez as a copyist of Murillo and a close follower of his master's style. He painted a St. Felipe, formerly in the Convent of La Merced Calzada at Seville. Mateo Gonzales is not noticed by Cean, but Tubino gives his name as one of the followers of Murillo. 352 PUPILS, FOLLOWERS, AND IMITATORS. Clemente de Torres was born in Cadiz in 1665, and studied under Valdes Leal. He was one of the best painters of his time, but most of his pictures have disappeared. A painting in fresco, representing the Eternal Father, is still to be seen over the arch of the great chapel of the Church of St. Philip Neri at Cadiz; and in the Cathedral of that city is a good copy of the Immaculate Conception by Munllo, the original of which is in the Louvre. (Catalogue, No. 29.) Cean Ber- mudez had some drawings by him which many judges believed to be by the hand of Murillo. Among the most noted copyists of Murillo may be named : Joaquin Manuel Fernandez Cruzado, a native of Jerez de la Frontera, who was born December 24, 1781, and studied in the School of Fine Arts in Cadiz, where his father, Don Jose Fernandez, was a professor. In 1808 he went to Seville, where he spent some time in copying the works of Murillo and other artists. A copy by him of the Virgin and Child and Priests {ante, p. 163, No. 113,) is now in the Museum at Cadiz. Francisco Gutierrez was a successful copyist and imitator of Murillo in the early part of the present century. Joaquin Cortes, Jose Garcia Chicano, Francisco Bejarano, Manuel Bejarano, Antonio Bejarano, Manuel Quesada, and Jose Romero have acquired some reputation in modern times as copyists of Murillo's works.

The life of Murillo is given in the second volume, under the title of Esteban. It comprises 17 pages, of which one-half is occupied with a list of his works. The life of Velazquez fills 25 pages, including the list of his pictures, occupying 2 pages. It is greatly to be regretted that Cean rarely mentions paintings by any artist, except such as existed in the royal collections, or in the churches or convents of Spain. It is needless to say anything in praise of this author. His writings are the mines that have supplied the gold to all subsequent biographers of Spanish artists. Chabert, M.

BIBLIOGRAPHY. 371 A worthless abridgment by Mariano de la Boca y Delgado, 116 pages, 8vo, was published at Madrid in 1871. The original edition is scarce, but not quite so scarce as Ford and Head represent. Copies are in the British Museum, and in the Bibliotheque Nationale at Paris, but I have been unable to find one in the Biblioteca Nacional at Madrid. I saw a beautiful copy in 1 881, at a Madrid book- seller's, priced at 400 francs, and Quaritch recently had one, not quite perfect, priced at £\2. This is the only book published in the lifetime of Velazquez in which his name is mentioned. Palomino de Castro, y Velasco, D. Antonio. El Museo Pictorico, y Escala Optica. Tomo I.

Palomino was Court Painter in the time of Philip V., and had the best of opportunities for successfully executing the task he imposed on himself, — opportunities of which it is to be regretted he did not make better use. He is pedantic in style and inaccurate in statement, but as he is the earliest biographer of the Spanish artists, all subsequent writers have drawn from him largely. In preparing the life of Velazquez, he was greatly indebted to his master, Juan de Alfaro y Gamez, a pupil and disciple of Velazquez. At the death of Alfaro, his valuable manuscripts and documents came into the possession of Palomino. Parnasso, Espanol.

The edition con- sisted of only about 250 copies, and the work now sells for five times the price at which it was originally published. A few presentation copies were printed, with a supplementary volume, containing photographs, now much faded, by the Talbottype process. One of these copies is to be seen in the British Museum. The work is indispensable to the student of Spanish art, but a new edition is urgently demanded, with additional notes, giving the results of recent discoveries and changes. Velazquez and his Works.

This volume is the result of the joint labors of Sir William Stirling- Maxwell and his friend, Charles Morse, Esq., both of whom were zealous collectors of engravings after Velazquez and Murillo. The collection of Mr. Morse, probably the largest in works of these masters that had ever been formed, was dispersed by Sotheby, Wilkinson, and Hodge, July 4, 1873, greatly to the enrichment of that of the present writer, as well as that of Sir William Stirling-Maxwell, which is doubtless the largest now in Europe.

Thore was an acute and conscientious critic, who interested him- self especially in the Spanish School. An ardent democrat, and a bold writer on political topics, he constantly embroiled himself with the govern- ment, and was twice condemned by the tribunals for the freedom of his language. After the coup d^etai of 185 1, he withdrew from Paris and lived abroad for a time, devoting himself to art instead of politics. He after- wards returned to Paris, where he died April 30, 1869. Most of his writings on art were under the name of W. Burger, which see. Besides the works there named, still using the signature of W. Burger, he contributed to the Histoire des Peintres, by Charles Blanc, the lives of Pantoja de la Cruz, Luis Tristan, Pareja, Carreno, Mazo, Claudio Coello, and Cerezo. Townsend, Joseph.

This portrait is identical with that in the Belvedere at Vienna (see ante, Velazquez, No. 121), except that the Hamilton Palace por- trait is full length instead of three-quarters length. The King, about thirty years of age, stands three-quarters right, with bare head, wear- ing a richly embroidered dress, a cloak falling from his right shoulder, short breeches, white stockings, low shoes, and a golilla ; the Order of the Golden Fleece is suspended on his breast. His right hand, falling naturally, holds a folded letter bearing the signature of Velaz- quez ; his left hand rests on the hilt of his sword ; at his left is a table on which is his hat; a curtain behind. 78X44 inches. A wood engraving is given in the illustrated edition of the Hamilton Palace sale catalogue; in Z' Art, July 2, 1882, page 13; and in Art and Letters, vol. I., 1882, p. 326. The catalogue asserts that this is the portrait referred to by Buchanan, as mentioned ante, Velazquez Catalogue, No. 274U. The Hamilton Palace sale was begun while these sheets were in the printer's hands. The objects were accumulated mainly by William Beckford of Fonthill, one of the most industrious, lavish, and successful of collectors. This eccentric gentleman was constantly buying, and selling again as the freak seized him. The following sales were made during his lifetime : 1801, August 19. Sale at Fonthill lasting three days, chiefly of Furniture. 1801, October 7. Sale at Fonthill lasting two days, chiefly Furniture, and eight Marble chimney-pieces. 1807, August 17. Sale at Fonthill lasting seven days, comprising Pictures, Porcelains, etc. 1822, September 21. The sale of all the effects at Fonthill was advertised, but before the day arrived the entire estate was sold by private sale to George Farquhar for .£330,000, some books, pictures, and curiosities being reserved. 1823, September 9. Sale at Fonthill by Philipps, continuing to October 29. There was realized for 3960 lots £22,684 1 $s. The tenth Duke of Hamilton married a daughter of Mr. Beckford and suc- ceeded to his artistic and literary property and tastes. The collection was greatly increased by him, and by his successor, the eleventh Duke, who was a large purchaser at the Northwick, Bernal, and other famous sales. To the present Duke will attach the imperishable fame of having been the one to scatter this vast wealth. ADDITIONS AND CORRECTIONS. 381 The collection was removed to London, and its sale is the greatest event ever recorded in the history of Curiosite. The amount realized reached the incredible sum of ,£397,562 oj. 6d. for 2213 lots, being £179 13s. for each lot. Besides these articles, a valuable collection of Manuscripts was purchased by the German Govern- ment for a sum not yet announced, but said to be £90,000. The library, which was founded by Mr. Beckford, is also being dispersed as these sheets go to press. The total amount of all the property sold will probably reach nearly £600,000, the largest sum that has been realized from any artistic property that ever passed under the auctioneer's hammer. The result of the sale was a surprise to the public as well as to the owner of the collection and his friends, whose expectations were exceeded, it is said, by more than £100,000. There can be no doubt that many of the articles sold far beyond their value, especially the pictures, which had never ranked very high as a collection, and which included many that were inferior, doubtful, or false. It will be interesting to compare this sale with some of the most important of its predecessors. M. de Julienne sale, March 30, 1767. Two hundred and ninety-seven pictures produced 287,610 liv. 12s.

West and Cipriani at £40,555, at which sum they were sold in 1779 to the Empress of Russia. The payment was to be made in three annual instalments, and apparently there was some abatement in the price, since the Catalogue of the Hermitage (French edition of 1869, p. vi) says the pictures cost £35,000.

A Corregidor of Madrid. Frederick Leyland, Esq., Wool- ton Hall, near Liverpool, Lancashire. A Corregidor of Madrid, standing, with thick bushy hair, wearing a stiff square collar, a black dress and a black cloak which, falling from his shoulders, half con- ceals the rapier that is girt to his side ; in his left hand is his hat, a scroll, and a pair of gloves ; his right hand is pressed lightly on his breast, with the fingers spread apart. Brownish-gray background. Full length, life-size. This description is taken from an article on the Private Galleries of England, in The Athenaeum, October 21, 1882, p. 534. The writer, probably Mr. F. G. Stephens, a high authority in matters of art, pronounces the picture to be one of the most important works of Velazquez out of Spain. Can this be the Corregidor formerly in the Aguado Gallery ? See No. 229qq. A Knight of Santiago. William P. Douglass, Esq., New- York. A man of about 45 years of age, standing front, wearing a golilla, with bare head, short hair, side whiskers, and long moustache, the ends of which are turned up ; his gloved right hand, falling naturally, holds a glove and grasps his gray hat, the opening of which is out- ward ; his ungloved left hand protrudes from beneath his cloak, which falls from his left shoulder, is wound around his waist like a girdle, and is held beneath his arm ; the red cross of Santiago is on the breast of his coat, and a similar cross on his cloak ; a baldrick embroidered with silver crosses his breast, and his wristlets are similarly embroidered. Landscape background. Three-quarters length, life-size. This picture was purchased in Europe more than half a century ago by the father of the present owner. It is now (1882-3) exhibited at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New-York. A Knight of Santiago. Mrs. William H. Aspinwall, New- York. A man about 35 years of age, with pleasing features, standing three-quarters left, with bare head, wearing a broad lace collar with scalloped edges, a buff-leather jerkin with embroidered silk sleeves, short breeches, high soft buff boots trimmed at the top with lace, and spurs ; his hands are gloved ; in his left, which falls naturally, is his 384 ADDITIONS AND CORRECTIONS. plumed hat ; his right grasps a pistol, the muzzle of which rests on a table covered with drapery ; a sword is girt to his side by a broad crimson scarf. On his breast is the red cross of Santiago. Full length. 72X44 inches. Purchased about 1850 from a private collection in Palermo. This gentleman is called, in the Catalogue of the gallery, a Knight of Malta, but the cross on his breast shows that designation to be an error. The Infanta Maria Theresa, afterwards Queen of France. A. Febvre sale, Paris, April 17-20, 1882. Bust turned three- quarters left; her hair, arranged in large rolls superposees, is adorned with white plumes ; a large gauze collar covers a robe of dark silk embroidered with silver; a jewel on her breast is attached by a chain to a gold ornament on her shoulder. 66X56 cm.

Bust, life-size. 18X15 inches. MURILLO. The Assumption. Eyre Coote, Esq., West Park, Salisbury, Hampshire.

Purchased by Sir Eyre Coote about the end of the last century. See Murillo Catalogue, ante No. 54f. Ecce Homo. An engraving by Navarrete of a picture of this subject is published at the Calcografia Nacional in Madrid. The engraving bears the name of Murillo as the painter, which is a mis- take. The original picture by Ribera is in the Academia de San Fer- nando, and the error is inexcusable, inasmuch as the Calcografia and the Academia are under the same roof. Christ the Good Shepherd. Colonel William Stuart, of London, has the picture mentioned ante, p. 187, No. i73g, and 173b. It is a finished study for that belonging to Baron Rothschild, No. 167, and was purchased by the father of the present owner at the sale of Jeremiah Harmann. The size is 21^X15 inches.
