F. De VORSTERMAN, was a difciple of Harman Sacht-
leven, and an extraordinary curious and neat landfcape painter
in little, in which he may very reafonably be faid to have ex-
ceeded all the painters of his time. He performed his land-
fcapes with wonderful care and neatnefs after the Dutch gout.
He fpared no pains in his views, which commonly reprefent
places on the Rhine ; where he had ftudied and accuftomed
himfelf to take in a large extent of hills and diftance. The ex-
travagant prices he demanded for his pictures hindered him of-
ten from being employed by king Charles II, who was pleafed
with his manner of painting ; efpecially that piece he made of
Windfor caftle, now extant in the royal collection. He ac-
companied Sir William Soames, fent by king James II. on an
embafly to Conftantinople ; but upon that minifter's death he
returned to France, and died. His defign in going for Turky
was to draw all the remarkable views in that empire ; but he
^vas difappointed by his patron's death, without whofe protec-
tion he durft not attempt it, to the great regret of all lovers of
art.
