442 SCHOOLS OF PAINTING field. Scotland produced two of the chief painters of this time Sir William Allan and Sir David Wilkie. Mulready was a fine draughtsman, skilful in composition, but weak in colour. Etty's scholastic drawing recalls the merits and faults of the Bolognese school, and he is frequently very fine in colour. Eastlake was weak in drawing and feeble in composition. Sir Edwin Landseer excelled in animal painting, especially in his rendering of the texture of hair and fur, but was frequently rather harsh in colour and commonplace in motive. David Roberts is worthy of note for his very clever water- colours of architectural scenes, J. F. Lewis for his ex- quisitely finished Oriental subjects, and J. S. Raven for his grand and imaginative landscapes, which, however, are very little known. Dante Gabriel Rossetti (see fig. 44), who died in 1882, was one of the chief painters of the century, both for the richness of his colouring and for his strong poetical imagination ; he was one of the founders of the Pre-Raphaelite " brotherhood " (see ROSSETTI), whose rise, development, and widespread influence on painting in Britain have been the chief artistic events in this century, and have produced a few painters whose earnestness of purpose and originality of power give them a foremost and absolutely unique position in modern Europe.

  • Of recent years a more careful

search for documents relating to Italian art has done much to correct the dates of many painters' lives ; hence in many cases the years of a painter's birth and death given in the following list differ from those in most previous works on the subject. 3 The three Berlinghieri were of a Milanese family, but worked mostly at Lucca. 4 Most valuable assistance in the preparation of this list of Sienese painters was given by Mr C. Fairfax Murray. s The works of these two painters are frequently confounded ; a chrouiolitho- Giov.
