ENGELBRECHTSEN — BUT Y CHIDES. 265
‘ ‘ Restoration of Mankind by the Atonement of Christ. ” It is very
different from the works of the masters who had preceded him, but
is hard and crude The flesh tones are brown, and the heads very
monotonous.
Es, or Essen, Jacob van, born at Antwerp. He painted flowers,
birds, fish, lobsters, etc. He excelled in representing shell-fish. In
the Antwerp Mus. there is a picture of fruit, dead game, vessels, etc.,
which is good. In the Vienna Gall., two large pictures of fish-mar-
kets are excellent: the figures in them are by Jordaens.
Escalante, Juan Antonio, born at Cordova (1630-16 70). Pu-
pil of Francesco Rici. He was an imitator of Tintoretto, and a
painter of good reputation. In the churches of Madrid some of his
pictures are seen, and in the Royal Gall, there are two: the “In-
fants Christ and S. John,” and the “ Holy Family.”
Espagnondel, Mathieu, born at Paris (1610-1689). A sculptor
of some merit. Several of his works are in the gardens at Ver-
sailles, and he also executed many statues for churches.
Espinosa, Jacinto Jeronimo de, born at Cocentayna, 1600; died
at Valencia, 1680. He studied under Francisco Ribalta, and also in
Italy. He was pious, industrious, and popular. Some of his works
are little inferior to the works of the Ribaltas, to which they bear a
strong resemblance. In 1647 the plague appeared in Valencia, and
it is said that this artist placed himself and his household under the
protection of S. Luis Beltran, who not only preserved them from con-
tagion, but also cured the master of water on the brain. For these
benefits Espinosa painted a series of pictures, and placed them in the
chapel of the Saint, in the convent of S. Domingo. The Mus. and
churches of Valencia contain many of his pictures.
Etty, William, born at York (1787-1849). This artist especially
excelled in color, and when judged by that alone was one of the most
highly distinguished English painters. His works were numerous,
and embraced a large variety of subjects. In the year of his death
130 of his pictures were exhibited in the room of the Society of Arts,
at the Adelphi. He declared that his aim had been in all his large
works to paint some great moral on the heart; par exemple, by three
“Judith ” pictures he would represent patriotism and self-sacrifice to
one’s country and God; by “ Benaiah,” David’s great captain, he
would picture valor, etc.
Eusebio di San Giorgio. A pupil of Perugino. He was never
above mediocrity. His pictures are dated 1505 and later. Most of
his remaining works are in Perugia.
Eutychides. A sculptor of Sicyon. He was a disciple of Lysip-
pus and lived b. c. 300. One of his most famous works was a
bronze statue of the Eurotas, “ in quo artem ipso amne liquidiorem
plurimi dixere.” Several of his statues are known to us in the writ-
ings of the ancients, and that of “ Fortune ” for the Syrians on the
Orontes, is represented by a copy in the Vatican.
