At the Council Chamber, Whitehall, the Sixth day of February, 1857. By tJie RIGHT HONOURABLE THE LORDS OF THE COMMITTEE OF PRIVY COUNCIL appointed for the consideration of all matters relating to TRADE AND FOREIGN PLANTATIONS. My Lords take into consideration the Deed of Gift by which Mr. Sheepshanks transfers to the President of this Board his valuable Collection of Pictures and Drawings, in order to found a Gallery of British Art, in connexion with the Schools of Art under this Board. The President has accepted with much gratification the Trustee- ship created, by this Deed, under the conditions therein described. My Lords are sensible of the great value of the magnificent gift thus presented to the nation during the lifetime of the Donor, and they desire to express their admiration of the very liberal spirit in which it has been made. My Lords admit the reasonableness of the condition that the Deed of Gift shall only take effect when a suitable Gallery shall have been provided in an airy situation near the Gardens or Public Parks at Kensington, and they have given directions, with the consent of the Treasury, for the erection of such a Gallery without delay. Their Lordships direct that a letter should be written to Mr. Sheepshanks, thanking him, on the part of the Government, for his munificent gift to the nation, and for the open character of the conditions under which it has been made ; and stating, that whilst the liberality of these conditions has greatly enhanced its value to the nation, they are well calculated to realise the dis- interested object of the Donor to found a Gallery of British Art.

About 1825 he began painting in oils, and from 1830 made tours in Scandinavia, Holland, Egypt, and else- where in prosecution of his art. His exhibits at the Royal Academy, chiefly river and sea subjects, range from 1835 to 1879 ; he was elected A.E.A. in 1851 and R.A. in 1863. He also exhibited at the British Institution.

He returned from Brussels in 1831, exhibited continuously at the Academy from 1833, became A.R.A. in 1845, and R.A. in 1867. He usually depicted cattle and pastoral scenes.

Marvell lodged on the second floor in a court near the Strand ; his Lordship found him writing, and delivered his errand. ' Pray what had I for dinner yesterday ? ' said Marvell, appeal- ing to the servant. ' A shoulder of mutton, sir.' ' And what have I to-day ? ' ' The remainder, hashed.' ' And to-morrow, my Lord, I shall have a sweet blade-bone broiled ; and I am sure, my Lord, His Majesty will be too tender in future to bribe a man with golden apples, who lives so well on the viands of his native country.' The Lord Treasurer withdrew with smiles, and Andrew Marvell sent to his bookseller for the loan of a guinea." Exhibited at the Royal Academy, 1841. Double canvas, 40 by 50. Sheepshanks Gift. 104.

She was dressed in white, and much as my friend described her, except that her hair hung loose, which before was twisted with a silken net. She had superadded likewise, to her jacket, a pale green riband, which fell across her shoulder to the waist ; at the end of which hung her pipe. Her goat had been as faithless as her lover, and she had got a little dog in lieu of him, which she kept tied by a string to her girdle." Sterne, Sentimental Journey.

His parents were wealthy, and lived at Wetley Abbey, Staffordshire. He was educa- ted at King Edward's School, Birmingham, and afterwards studied for the medical profession. In 1843 he and his brother set out to travel on the Continent, and arrived at Rome in about two years, having walked from Geneva. At Rome Mason stayed till 1858, being obliged, owing to his father's financial losses, to support himself by his art, but in spite of the skill already attained he was compelled to suffer great privations which broke down his health. He painted animals and scenes in the Campagna, but did not show much originality until he returned to England in 1858. He then painted scenes around his old home in Staffordshire, but in 1865 he removed to Hammersmith. He had exhibited from 1857 at the Royal Academy, where his pictures, especially " The Gander " and " The Cast Shoe," attracted much atten- tion. In 1869 he was elected A.R.A. He had knowledge and skill ; but his physical powers failed, and he was not able to finish many pictures. Died at Hammersmith on October 22nd, 1872, and was buried in Brompton Cemetery. 309-'87.

He was appointed chief drawing-master at the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich, but resigned in 1796 and was succeeded by his son. He has been called " the father of water-colour art " ; he was certainly one of the first to practise it in the broader manner, and his name will always be connected with the early development of landscape art in England.

He spent much time in making topographical drawings while touring in various parts of England till about 1797. He became A.R.A. in 1799 and R.A. in 1802, and was Professor of Perspective from 1807 to 1837. He toured much on the Continent between 1802 and 1840, but PLATE XX II I. TURNER. Ill resided mainly in London. His " Liber Studiorum " appeared from 1807 to 1819, but was never completed. In 1819 he visited Italy, and then began his bolder schemes of colour. Among the paintings which show Turner's wonder- ful effects of light and colour are " The Bay of Baiae " (1823), "Caligula's Palace" (1831), "Childe Harold's Pil- grimage" (1832), "The Fighting Temeraire" (1839) and his pictures of Venice. Of the present school of water- colour painters he may well claim to be one of the principal founders ; and his landscapes, both in water-colours and in oils, rank him as one of the greatest masters of his art both for fertility of invention and for the truthful realisation of atmosphere and light. Turner died at Chelsea on December 19th, 1851, and was buried beside Sir Joshua Eeynolds in St. Paul's Cathedral. After the terms of his will were settled several hundreds of his oil-paintings, water-colours and drawings came into the possession of the National Gallery, and 20,000 was entrusted to the Royal Academy, which employed it to found the " Turner Annuities." 207.

Sec Dyck, Sir Anthony van. VARLEY, John. Born at Hackney on August 17th, 1778. His father, an accomplished man of scientific attainments, discouraged his son's love of art, apprenticed him to a silversmith, and VABLEY WALLIS. 113 later placed him with a law stationer. Subsequently, however, John Varley obtained employment with a portrait painter in Holborn, and studied under J. C. Barrow, a teacher of drawing, from about 1794. Varley was one of the young artists patronised by Dr. Monro. After visiting Peterborough with Barrow, he exhibited a view of Peter- borough Cathedral in 1798. About this time he paid his first visit to Wales. In 1804 he helped to found the Old Water Colour Society, to whose exhibitions he contributed over 700 works. His style is broad and simple, deriving great freshness from pure tints and facility of treatment. Varley published works on drawing, perspective, and astrology, and had a considerable reputation as an art teacher, numbering among his pupils Turner of Oxford, David Cox, John Linnell, and Mulready ; but his life ended in poverty, on November 17th, 1842. 1836-'00.

On account of ill-health he received no regular schooling in his childhood, but he possessed a very retentive memory. He entered the Royal Academy Schools in 1835 and studied from the antique at the British Museum. From 1837 he exhibited at the Koyal Academy. At the West- minster Hall competition of 1843 he won a prize of 300 with his " Caractacus." Thus enabled to go abroad he pro- ceeded to Florence, where he remained about four years. In 1847, the year of Watts' return to England, he received a prize of 500 in the Westminster Hall competition for his ' Alfred inciting the Saxons to prevent the Landing of the Danes." In 1856 he visited Constantinople. He was elected A.R.A. in 1867 and R.A. in the same year ; in 1896 he became an Honorary Retired Academician. He rose to the front rank as a portrait painter, and during his long career painted the portraits of many of his most eminent contem- poraries, such as Carlyle, John Stuart Mill, Gladstone, and Millais. Apart from his portraits, the motive of his chief works is didactic and humanitarian. " Faith," " Hope," "Charity," "Love and Life" and "Love and Death " are among his symbolic pictures. He also painted mythological subjects and landscapes. He executed a few pieces of sculpture, including " Physical Energy," a heroic figure of a man on horseback, bronze casts of which are over Cecil Rhodes's grave in the Matoppo Hills, Rhodesia, and in Kensington Gardens. Watts presented many of his works to the National Gallery, British Art, Millbank (Tate Gallery) and other institutions. He continued working till the last, and died on July 1st, 1904. He was buried at Compton. C.A.I. 1. THE WINDOW SEAT. Seated figure of a girl sewing. Exhibited at the Grosvenor Gallery, 1881. Panel, 14f by llf. Signed, and dated 1861. lonides Bequest. C.A,I. 2.

Born in Kanelagh Street, Pimlico, on March 20th, 1800 ; was originally intended for the musical profession, but exchanged it for that of a painter, and entered as a student of the Royal Academy in 1821. The character of the studies there at first directed him towards historical subjects, but he early proved the original bent of his genius for portraying the humours and games of children, a field of art which he maintained against all rivals. He exhibited from 1823 at the Royal Academy and elsewhere, and was elected A.R.A. in 1840, and R.A. in 1846 ; he became an Honorary Retired Academician in 1876, and exhibited for the last time in 1879. Some of his oil pictures, such as " The Dame's School," "The Smile," and "The Frown," became very popular through engravings. From 1856 Webster lived at Cranbrook, Kent, where he died on September 23rd, 1886. In the parish church there is a monument to his memory, by W. Hamo Thorny croft, R.A. 219. SICKNESS AND HEALTH.

At the age of fourteen he was sent to the Trustees' Academy at Edinburgh, whence he returned to Cults in 1804. Having made some money by painting portraits, Wilkie went to London in 1805, became a student of the Royal Academy, and exhibited there in 1806. His subjects from domestic life, painted in oils, attracted the attention of the public, and he acquired an extensive practice ; he was elected A.R.A. in 1809 and R.A. in 1811. In 1814 he went to Paris, and in 1817 and 1822 he visited Scotland. On the failure of his health in 1825, Wilkie travelled abroad. Influenced perhaps by the Spanish masters, his style now changed, and his subsequent productions did not came up to his earlier pictures. On the death of Lawrence in 1830, Wilkie was appointed Sergeant Painter to the King, and he painted several Royal portraits ; in 1836 he was knighted. In 1840 lie toured in the East, and died at sea near Gibraltar on his way home, on June 1st, 1841. 225. THE BROKEN JAR.
