uted largely to “ The Artist; ” wrote the Life of Sir Joshua Rey-
nolds, etc., and a brief Analysis of his Discourses; and a Life of
Titian. He also published a book of Fables, original and selected,
illustrated by wood-cuts from his own designs.
Nuyen, Wynaud Jan Joseph, born at the Hague (1813-1839).
Although he died so young, he had made himself an enviable reputa-
tion as a marine painter. His works are only seen in rich collections.
“ Le Coup de Canon ” is one of his chefs-d'oeuvre, and represents
a view on the Y off Amsterdam, with a yacht from which a gun is
fired. It was sold in 1850 for £375.
Nuzzi, Mario della Penna, called Mario da’ Fiori, born at Penna
(1603-1673). A fine flower painter. He often painted garlands for
the decoration of the figures of the Virgin, saints, etc. He also
painted festoons and wreaths around the figures of Carlo Maratti.

Obregon, Pedro de, born at Madrid (1597-1659). A good
painter of history, whose works still remain in some churches and
convents of Madrid, and also in the private collections of the same
city.
Ochtervelt, J. Flourished about 1670. His pictures represent
familiar subjects and are very excellent, though not equal to those of
Metsu, whom he resembles in manner. His works are somewhat
rare. His color and lighting recall the manner of Peter de Hoogh.
Two of his best pictures are in the Hague and Aremberg galleries.
Oggione or Uggione, Marco d’ (about 1470-1530). A scholar
of Leonardo da Vinci. Some of his works are preserved in the
Brera, but he is especially worthy of notice for having made copies
of the “ Last Supper ” of his master. One of these in oil, the size
of the original, is in the Acad, of London; another is in the Convent
of Castellazzo, near Milan. These .were painted from the original
for people acquainted with it, and by a pupil of its author; it would
seem that they should be entitled to much consideration, making
allowance, of course, for the different capabilities of the master and
pupil.
Ohmacht, Landolin, born at Dunningen in Wiirtemberg (1760-
1834). ' A celebrated sculptor. After his early studies under
Melchior, and a residence of two years in Rome, he settled in Stras-
burg. He executed many important monumental works, some of
which are in the cathedrals of Lubeck, Speyer, and Strasburg. The
sculptor David is said to have called Ohmacht “the Correggio of
sculpture.” He was an intimate friend of Klopstock, of whom he
made several busts. He executed some classical subjects. His
“ Judgment of Paris ” is at Nymphenburg.
