FOOTNOTES:

[A] At least, like most of the great Italian masters before and after their time, and like Clouet the Frenchman, they designed garments, and painted banners of state; they decorated coffers and furniture, book covers, and, like Holbein and Cellini, made designs for jewellery.

[B] When we discover that the whole frontal has been used as the top of a cupboard, we need not wonder at the present scarcity of specimens of early English art.

[C] Many pictures executed during the ten years after his death, some even in the Windsor collection, have been attributed to Holbein.

[D] Now lent to the National Gallery. She was the youthful daughter of the King of Denmark, and widow of the Duke of Milan. Holbein was sent to Brussels to paint her portrait for his royal master.

[E] See The AthenÆum, August 19th, 1882.

[F] This is Dallaway's summary, note to p. 266 of Walpole's "Anecdotes," as above, 1849. Of course, all the pictures were not really by the artists whose names they bore. There must have been more than sixteen Van Dycks in the Royal collection. The above are Whitehall pictures only. The entire gatherings of King Charles were far more numerous.

[G] His painting of this subject, for which he received only twenty-six guineas, was destroyed by fire in 1874.

[H] Northcote, "Conversations," 1830, p. 32, said, "Sir Joshua undoubtedly got his first idea of the art from Gandy." James Gandy (1619—1689), who painted in Ireland and Devonshire, was the last representative of the art of Van Dyck, whose pupil he was.
