562 ADRIAN VANDER WERF.
In addition to the Scholars and Imitators of A drian Vander
Werf. noticed in p. 214, Vol. iv., may he subjoined:
Francis Bartholomew Van Douven, born, at Ruremonde,
in the duchy of Cleves, in the year 1656 ; he is said to have
received his first instructions from Gabriel Lambertin, and
that his proficiency soon after attracted the notice of a
Spanish nobleman, through whose interest he was introduced
into the service of the king of Spain. The Elector of
Dusseldorf was about this period engaged in forming his
splendid Collection, and among the many artists of talent
employed by this Maecenas, was Van Douven, whose pictures
were evidently painted at this time in imitation of the then
greatly admired and esteemed works of Vander Werf. Van
Douven died in 1727, aged 71 years.
