BERCHET — BERGMULLER.
de la Fosse. Went to England in 1681. His best work is the
ceiling of the chapel at Trinity College, Oxford, representing the
“ Ascension.”
Berg, Mathias Van den, born at Ypres (1615-1647). It is said
that his father had the care of the estates of Rubens, and that master
took the son into his Academy. He is known only by his excellent
copies of the works of his master.
Bergen, Dirk Van, born at Haerlem (1645-1689). Pupil of
Adrian Van de Velde, and one of his most successful imitators.
His earliest works are the best, and are warm and sunny in color; in
his later ones the cattle become crude in tone, and hard in execution.
Nos. 15 and 16, Louvre, are among his best pictures, as are also
Nos. 28 and 29, Amsterdam Mus. He established himself in Lon-
don in 1673.
Berger, Daniel, born at Berlin, 1744. Pupil of his father. He
became a good engraver, made a number of portraits of the royal
family and many plates after different artists, principally those of
his own country. In 1787 he was appointed Rector and Professor
of Engraving at the Acad, of Berlin.
Bergeret, Pierre-Nolasque, born at Bordeaux (1780-1828 ?).
A pupil of David, and a distinguished painter of history and land-
scapes. He was happy in the choice of interesting subjects. Many
of his works were placed in the Gall, of the Luxembourg, and other
royal collections. He also painted four portraits for the Hall of the
Chancellors. He designed bas-reliefs, among which may be men-
tioned those on the column of the Place Vendome. Many of his
pictures have been engraved and some of them used as illustrations
of splendid editions of “ La Fontaine,” “ Boileau,” etc., etc.
Bergler, Joseph, born at Salzberg, 1753; died at Prague, 1829.
When twenty years old he had made himself so good a name that
Prince Firmian of Passau sent him to Italy, with a pension. He
went first to Milan, where he was the pupil of Martin Knoller. He
remained five years in Milan, copying works of the masters, and
executing frescoes with his teacher. From Milan he went to Rome,
and in 1784 gained the prize of the Acad, in Parma. From this
time he received as many commissions as he could execute. He
remained in Rome until 1786, when he returned to Passau. In 1800
he went to Prague to assume the place of director of the Acad.; the
number of his oil pictures is very large. They are almost without
exception representations of religious subjects, and may be seen in
the churches of his own country.
Bergmuller, John George, born at Dirkheim in Bavaria (1 OSS-
ITO 2). Pupil of Andrew Wolff. Painter of history and portraits,
but best known by his engravings, which were from his own designs.
Some of his pictures are in the churches of Augsburg, where he
resided.
