EYRE AND WILLIAM SPOTTISWOODE, PRINTERS TO THE QUEEN’S BIOS! EXCELLENT MAJESTY. FOR HER MAJESTY’S STATIONERY OFFICE. MDCCCLXXIV. SI — — V NOTE. This catalogue refers to the Art portion of the Collection bequeathed to the South Kensington Museum by the Reverend Alexander Dyce, the well-known Shakespearian scholar, who died May 15, 1869. A companion volume contains a catalogue of the remainder of the Bequest, the printed books and manuscripts. The following is an extract from Mr. Dyce s will : “ This is the last will of me, the Rev. Alexander Dyce, of Oxford Terrace, Paddington, Middlesex. As to all my books, works of art, and other such effects, I dispose of them as herein-after specially mentioned. And I appoint my friends, John Forster, of Palace Gate House, Kensington, esquire, and William Macpherson, of Lancaster Gate, esquire, executors of this my will. As to my collection of books and works of art, consisting of the whole of my rare and valuable and other books, and of my pictures, paintings, drawings, miniatures, antique rings, and curiosities, and all my printed books and manuscripts, and any other effects which may, in the opinion of my executors, come under the description of works of art or articles of vertu (the same being herein-after described as “ my said collection”) I give the same in maimer following, in which I have had regard to the gift of the Sheepshanks collection of pictures and works of art, which I desire generally to follow, that is to say, I give and bequeath my said collection unto the Member of Her Majesty’s Government for the time being charged with the promotion of art education now undertaken by the Department of Science and Art as the ex-officio trustee thereof, upon the following terms and conditions, viz. : “1. That such ex-officio trustee do within six months from the probate of my will sign a memorandum of the acceptance of the trustee- ship, and deliver the same to my executors, and to be by them copied on the probate of my said will, with a memorandum to be signed by them of such acceptance. “ 2. That a proper and sufficient separate room or gallery in or near to the public buildings built, or to be built, for the Department of Science and Art, now called the South Kensington Museum, or elsewhere, be set apart or provided for the purpose of holding my said collection (to be called “The Dyce Collection ”), and that my said collection be deposited and kept in such room or gallery. “ 3. The right of property in, and possession of, my said collection shall be solely in the ex-officio trustee for the time being, but subject to the conditions herein-after expressed, and to be and remain always under his control, and he shall be the sole arbiter of any question that may arise touching the management or disposition thereof under this my will. “ 4. My said collection shall be used for reference and instruction, and shall be exhibited to the public at such times and under such regu- lations as the ex-officio trustee shall prescribe, and so soon as arrange- ments can be properly made by him for that purpose ; but no part of my VI said collection shall ever be sold or exchanged or be dealt with contrary to the true spirit and meaning of the use, disposition, and control thereof herein prescribed ; the books to be the subject of special care and preservation, and never to be lent or removed from the collection. “ 5. My said collection, or the conditional bequest thereof hereby made, shall not be subject to the provisions of the Act of the 19 & 20 Victoria, cap. 29., intituled ‘An Act to extend the Powers of the ‘ Trustees and Directors of the National Gallery, and to authorize the ‘ Sale of Works of Art belonging to the Public,’ or to any future enactment of the legislature which but for this declaration to the con- trary shall or may have the effect of placing my said collection under any other care or ordering than is herein prescribed, or would otherwise alter or interfere with the disposition thereof hereby made. And in case of such interference on the part of the legislature, or if the terms and conditions as herein expressed be not strictly adhered to (subject as after mentioned), or in case the said bequest should not be accepted as aforesaid, then and in either of such cases the gift thereof hereby made shall wholly cease, and my said executors or the ex-officio trustee for the time being, as the case may be, shall thereupon hold my said collection in ti’ust for the University of Cambridge, to be added to and for ever thereafter form part of the Fitz-William Collection of the said university. “ 6. The ex-officio trustee (or university aforesaid, as the case may require) shall provide for the payment (by Government or out of any funds available or to become available for the purpose) of the Govern- ment legacy duty which may become payable on the said collection, and also for so much and such part of the duty on the probate of this my will as shall be payable in respect of the estimated value of my said col- lection so hereby given for the purposes aforesaid, this provision being necessary as my general estate is otherwise of small comparative amount or value. n In testimony whereof I have to this my will, written on six sheets of paper, set my hand, this Ninth day of March, in the year of our Lord One thousand eight hundred and sixty-nine.” CONTENTS.

Oil Paintings . —The strength of Mr. Dyce’s valuable bequest to the Department of Science and Art does not lie in the portion included in this section, which is in its nature of a very miscel- laneous character. The collection was made apparently as objects offered themselves, and without any special design. Many of the paintings are probably by artists whose works would not entitle them to posthumous repute, and their names have been lost. To other paintings great names have in some instances been given, which can hardly he accepted yet it is right ; to say that the collection includes several good works by painters of eminence, and some which, on special grounds other than their art-merit, are objects of general interest. Miniatures . —The Miniatures include works of the chief continental schools, with some good examples of the early English miniaturists. Of these works it is still more difficult to speak than of the oil pictures. They are almost exclusively unnamed, and it is only by some traditionary name, either of the artist or the person he represented, that these particulars could instances supplied and, in most be ; except in the few instances where names have been given, it would be almost guess-work to attempt identification. The collection is largely composed of small works in oil of the Dutch and Flemish schools ; but it no less includes some works of the distinguished English artists Samuel Cooper, Isaac Oliver, and Thomas Flatman, with some others of recent date, whose characteristic manner has warranted the addition of their names.

    Over Multatuli. Jaargang 35. Delen 70-71 bron Over Multatuli. Jaargang 35. Delen 70-71. Bas Lubberhuizen, Amsterdam 2013 Zie voor verantwoording: https://www.dbnl.org/tekst/_ove006201301_01/colofon.php Let op: werken die korter dan 140 jaar geleden verschenen zijn, kunnen auteursrechtelijk beschermd zijn. i.s.m. 2 [Nummer 70] ‘Want Wouter was koning in al dat veroverde land. Koning, en... Femke koningin!’ Multatuli onttroond? In dit nummer moet Multatuli nogal wat persoonlijkheden naast zich dulden die de aandacht opeisen. Het gaat niet zozeer om de Hallemannetjes: ‘De Hallemannetjes... nu ja, die kinderen ontvingen hoger toelaag, maar ze dachten gelukkig niet aan Afrika. Voorlopig vreesde hy hun concurrentie niet, doch wel dat misschien hier of daar 'n ander kind, iets nader aan 't groot-zyn dan hy, hem den pas zou afsnyden.’ Maar Multatuli moet het allereerst behoorlijk afleggen bij Willem Bilderdijk. De eerste twee bijdragen zijn een weerslag van de najaarsbijeenkomst van het Multatuli Genootschap, waarvoor de leden van de Vereniging Het Bilderdijk-Museum uitgenodigd waren en uitgedaagd om Multatuli's kritiek op Bilderdijk te pareren. Honings betwijfelt of Multatuli Bilderdijk wel goed gelezen heeft en sluit zich aan bij de critici van Multatuli, die Bilderdijk onterecht zou neerhalen. Multatuli's Bilderdijk bashing - Honings woorden - ziet hij als het terugkerende element in de literatuurgeschiedenis dat auteurs van de nieuwe generatie zich afzetten tegen hun voorgangers. In het betoog van Gert-Jan Johannes wordt het beeld van Multatuli als groot Denker und Dichter eveneens danig gerelativeerd. Multatuli was volgens hem geen origineel denker, maar een begaafd volger en propagandist van reeds bestaande ideeën.

    Helmich von Tweenhuysen II (Amsterdam c.1604 - Gdańsk 1673) Portrait of a Bearded Cleric oil on canvas 74 x 58.7 cm (29⅛ x 23⅛ in) Provenance: American Art Galleries, New York, 1903, no. 148. with Dowdeswell and Dowdeswells, London, 1899; with Eugene Fischhof, Paris; his sale, New York, Chickering Hall, 9th March 1900, no. 102; his sale, Paris, 16th May 1904, no. 24, (for Fr.1250); Jos. Monchen et al sale, Amsterdam, Frederk Muller & Cie, 30th April 1907, no. 114 (for fl. 1000). (All the above as by Jan Lievens) Literature: Hans Schneider, Jan Lievens: Sein Leben und Seine Werke (Bohn, 1932), p. 180, no. LXIX. Salomon Lilian: Old Masters 2013, (Amsterdam 2013), p.76, fig. 1. HIS INTRIGUING HALF-PORTRAIT IS A NEW addition to the small extant ouevre of Helmich van Tweenhuysen II. A bearded cleric of Eastern-European appearance looks directly out at the viewer with a penetrating gaze. He is dressed in a tall soft cap and dark Trobes, augmented by thick sash and a crucifix on a chain. Although his dress is relatively sober, the rich velvet of his cap, glinting colours of the chains around his neck and cap suggest that the sitter is a figure of wealth and importance. Currently the sitter’s identity remains elusive. He appears in another very similar portrait by van Tweenhuysen in the Muzeum Narodowe in Wroclaw, Poland. In the Wroclaw portrait, the sitter turns in the opposite direction, and his right hand rests upon a book, but he is dressed in the identical restrained but luxurious costume.

  • Graves of Artists and Architects Buried There
    Graves of architects and artists in the Chiswick Churchyard and Old Burial Ground A noteworthy feature of the burial ground associated with St Nicholas, Chiswick, is the remarkable number of graves of artists and architects buried there. This article records the graves of an important eighteenth-century architect and garden designer, a respected bricklayer and site manager, two well-regarded Victorian sculptors, and no fewer than six painters and printmakers. In comparison, I know of only one literary figure who was buried there: the maverick Italian poet and patriot, Ugo Foscolo (1778–1827). But perhaps he does not count, since his bones were exhumed in 1871 and returned to Italy for re-burial in Sta Croce, Florence. The churchyard harbours the tomb of only one theatrical figure, Charles Holland (1733–1769), but – as far as I am aware – of not one single composer. Two possible reasons for this bias in favour of the visual arts may be connected with two leading figures in the British eighteenth-century art world who were associated with St Nicholas, Chiswick. Lord Burlington (1694–1753) and William Hogarth (1697–1764) were close contemporaries, although they seldom if ever saw eye to eye. Lord Burlington was the architect of his ground- breaking Chiswick Villa, and he was also a celebrated aesthete and connoisseur. During highly profitable visits to Italy in the second decade, he amassed an important collection of Italian Renaissance and Baroque paintings. Chiswick Villa was designed in part specifically to display this collection, which enhanced Burlington’s status in the British art scene. His semi-permanent residence at Chiswick in the last 20 or so years of his life, and the inheritance of his estate by the Dukes of Devonshire from 1764, perhaps attracted other artists to the area, seeking aristocratic and royal patronage.

  • From Artistic Engraving to Reproductive Engraving Through a Critical/Analytical Study of Abraham Bosse’S Treatise
    International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Vol. 4, No. 7; May 2014 From Artistic Engraving to Reproductive Engraving through a Critical/analytical Study of Abraham Bosse’s Treatise Eva Figueras Ferrer University of Barcelona Faculty of Fine Arts Department of Painting Spain Abstract Such is the ideological disparity between Abraham Bosse’s first intaglio review (1645) and the extended revised edition by N. Ch Cochin (1745), that we can virtually speak of two different works: In order to understand the conceptual gap between the two, it is important to take into account, that when the Academy of Fine Arts of Paris was founded, in the second half of the XVII century, in France there was a fundamental shift of thought regarding art education and training, and art in general. Keywords: Engraving; Chalcographic reviews; Academic aesthetic; Artistic printmaking; Printmaking reproductions 1. Introduction In 1645 a treatise on chalcographic engraving entitled Traité des manières de graver en taille douce sur l'airin par le moyen des Eaux Fortes & des Vernis Durs & Mols (‘Treatise on the manners of intaglio on copper plates by means of Etching & Soft & Hard Grounds’)1 by Abraham Bosse was published in Paris. Bosse was a pioneer in theorizing on the art of engraving. His work was republished several times in less than a century, and it became a reference point and a source of inspiration for many subsequent European theoreticians, as the versions published in languages including German, English, Portuguese and Spanish can verify.2 In addition to the translations, references to Bosse’s treatise can be found in most engraving manuals published throughout history.
