love of third-rate mezzotints and tenth-rate colour prints blinds him to all the Continent has ever done. Wille, in addition to many fine portraits including the Old and the Young Pretenders, Frederick II., and Maurice de Saxe, engraved with peculiar fidelity the satin and silken draperies and tapestries after Gerard Dow, Mieris, Terburg, and other Dutch genre-painters. He is especially good in the Death of Cleopatra after Netscher.
Johann Gotthard von Müller (1747-1830), a pupil of Wille, carried on the traditions in Germany, as Charles Bervic (1756-1822), another pupil, sustained the reputation of his master's training in France. In Italy Raphael Morghen (1758-1833) devoted his life to translating into line the old Italian masters, and his work is justly celebrated throughout Europe. Guiseppe Longhi (1766-1831), painter and engraver, influenced by Raphael Morghen, whom he met at Rome, continued on the same lines. He engraved a fine plate, Lady Burghersh and Child, after Sir Thomas Lawrence. Pietro Anderloni (1784-1849), his pupil, brings the Italian line school up to modern days. The Head of Leonardo da Vinci, in an oval, by him may be had for 5s. His Adoration of the Shepherds after Titian, a fine proof, is worth £2. Longhi's Vierge au Rochers after Leonardo da Vinci, a proof before letters, sells for ten guineas. His Napoleon I., in circular frame (1812), proof, may be bought for 15s.; another portrait of Napoleon at Arcole, proof state before letters, sells for £2 10s. Von Müller's finest print is his La Madonna della Seggiola after Raphael, a proof by Raphael Morghen
