Robert STREATER, was born in the year 1624, and bred
up to painting and defigning under Du Moulin. Being a perfon
of great induftry, as well as capacity, he arrived to a very emi-
nent degree in divers branches of his art, efpecially in hiftory,
architecture, and perfpeclive, wherein he excelled all of his time
in England, and fhevved himfelf a great matter by the truth of
his outlines, and the learning of fore-fhortening of his figures, as
may be feen by his works. He was alfo excellent in landfcape,
having a mighty freedom of pencilling with equal invention, and
was moreover remarkable for ftill life, infomuch that there are
fome of his fruit ftill to be feen, which are of the higheft Italian
gufto, both for pencilling, judgment, and compofition. To do
him but juftice, he was the greateft and moft univerfal painter
that ever England bred, which we owe in fome meafure to his
reading, he being reputed a very good hiftorian, which no doubt
contributed not a little to his perfection in that way of painting.
Upon the reftoration of king Charles II, he was made his ma-
jetty's ferjeant-painter. He died, after having been firft cut for
the ftone by a furgeon, whom king Charles II. fent for from
France, for that purpofe, in the year 1680, at fifty-fix years of
age, after he had lived in great reputation and efteem all his life.
His principal works were at the theatre at Oxford; fome ciel-
ings at Whitehall, which are now burnt; the battles of the
giants with the gods at Sir Robert Clayton's ; the pictures of
Mofes and Aaron in St. Michael's church in Cornhill.
