THE SUTHERLAND GALLERY.
VANDER MEULEN (Antoine Francois), b. 1634; d. 1696. [A
painter of Brussels, who followed the Rubens school of landscape, and
studied military subjects under Peter Snayers ; in the combination of
both excellent. See p. 54.]
160 A Skirmish of Cavalry—in a woody landscape.
Painted with great freedom of execution, and admirable
for vigour and animation. 2 ft. 1 in. by 2 ft. 9 J in.
WEENIX (Giovan Baptista), b. 1621; d. 1660.
[He studied and practised his art for some time in Italy, and
painted subjects of every kind cleverly. He must not be confounded
with his son Jan Weenix, the excellent painter of game and animals.]
161 Landscape—with ruins; in front antique columns. A
man is reading an inscription on an antique tomb, which
runs thus:—
“ Cy git le pere, cy git la mere,
Cy git la sceur, cy git le frere,
Cy git la femme, et le mari,
Et il n’y a que deux corps ici.
1651. Giovan Battista Weenix.”
WYNANTS (Jan), b. 1606; d. 1670. See p. 63.
162 Two beautiful Landscapes.
Ongltelj
ALLSTON (Washington), born in South Carolina, 1779, living at
Boston, U.S., in 1843. [Not only the greatest painter America has yet
produced, but one of the greatest painters of the age. An admirable
designer, a rich and harmonious colourist, and a true poet in his art.*]
163 The Archangel Uriel in the Sun.—Colossal figure.
Painted when Allston was in England, about 1817.
C. 8 ft. 3 in. by 6 ft. 6 in.
* It is to be regretted that Allston’s pictures are not more known in
England. Those I saw at Boston and Philadelphia filled me with admiration.
Lord Egremont has his fine picture of “ Jacob’s Dream.” Besides being an
excellent painter, Allston is a man of considerable literary attainments, and the
author of some beautiful poems.
