THE GROSVENOR GALLERY.

robes,) accompanied by St. Thomas Aquinas, (in the Domi-
nican habit,) St. Norbert, and St. Clara, carrying the Host
in a pix. The latter is the portrait of Donna Clara Eugenia,
daughter of Philip II. of Spain, and the great friend and
patroness of Rubens.
C. 14 ft. by 14 ft. 6 in. {Smith's Cat. 504, 500, 502, 501.)
SNYDERS (Franz), b. 1579 ; d. 1657. [An admirable painter of
animals, fruit, and still life, on a large scale. He painted in the
atelier of Rubens, rather as his assistant than his pupil.]
121 A Lion Hunt.
122 A Bear Hunt. c. 6 ft. 6 in. by 11 ft. 5 in.
Most spirited and animated, full of terror, fury, and
movement; in a style in which the painter excelled all
others except his friend Rubens. The “ Bear Hunt” was
painted for a noble family of Venice, and being sent
over to this country about sixty years ago, was purchased
by the late Lord Grosvenor. The “ Lion Hunt” is a much
more recent acquisition.
TENIERS (David), b. 1610 ; d. 1690. [The first picture here is
interesting as illustrating the home, and the domestic feelings and
manners of the artist.]
123 Landscape.—In the foreground, Teniers and his wife
are in conversation with his old gardener. The scene re-
presents the gardener’s cottage, in the distance the chateau
of Teniers, so often introduced into his pictures. The
figures are evidently portraits from the life. Teniers
married Anne Breughel, the daughter of the Velvet
Breughel, who, on her father’s death, had been adopted by
Rubens.
This picture, which is admirable in every respect, was
bought from the collection of the Chevalier Verhulst, in
1779, for 85Z., then passed into that of M. Le Brun, from
whom it was purchased by the late Lord Lansdowne for
192Z. Lord Grosvenor purchased it for 546Z. A repeti-
tion, not so good, is in the Queen’s gallery.
C. 4 ft. by 8 ft. 3 in. {Smith's Cat. 221.)
