Text Appearing Before Image:
Cardinal Richelieu took him under
his patronage, and he was soon appointed painter to the King.
He succeeded best in easel pictures, particularly those of pastoral
subjects. His invention is noble, his design rigidly correct, and
his attitudes natural. He was a perfect master of perspective,
and often enriched his pictures with noble architecture.

RUSTIC FÊTE

Handsome figures of men and women mostly of a peculiar
blond type, suggesting a study of Rubens, give fine color and fine
lines to the groups in Stella's paintings. The Italian influence
shows in the architecture of the background; there stands an
elaborate villa with portico statues in the garden, statues on the
roof. To the left a tired dancer drinks wine near a woman and
child; to the right several small groups sit or wander under trees.
Fine faces, sweet pale blues and yellows, reds, etc., in the draperies
of the revellers. This painting shows, in part, an anticipation of
Watteau. From the Remenyi collection.
On canvas; height, 31^1//₂ inches; width, 43 inches.

WILLIAM DOBSON

English School

1610-1646

Dobson, called the English Van Dyck, appears to have
approached nearest to the excellence of the great Flemish master.
Van Dyck was his friend; and after the formers death, Dobson
was appointed painter to Charles I, whose portrait he painted.
He also painted a number of the nobility. Several of his portraits
are in the National Gallery.

PORTRAIT OF LORD CAVENDISH

A young cavalier of a type of face not dissimilar to Charles
I, delicate feminine hand, mouth in fine curves though somewhat
resolute in expression. Summary but not unskilful painting of
features, earnest and intelligent gaze like the portraits by Titian
and Van Dyck.
The beautiful blue satin doublet and deep collar fringed with
red lace betoken a high and perhaps a princely rank.
From the collection of the Earl of Bute.
On canvas; height, 29^J/₄ inches; width, 24³/₄ inches.

JAN ASSELYN

Flemish School

1610-1660 Asselyn, a distinguished Flemish landscape painter, went to
Italy while young, remaining there several years. "His pictures
represent views in the vicinity of Rome, enriched with ruins and
edifices. In landscape he imitated Claude Lorraine. His touch
is free and firm, his coloring bright and clear, his skies warm,
and his figures well drawn. His works are very highly esteemed."
