BOUTTATS, Gaspab, the younger brother of Frederik Bouttats, was born at Antwerp about the year 1625, and died there in 1703. He engraved chiefly for the booksellers, and some few plates after different masters. They are principally etched, and some finished with the graver. The following are by him : Frontispiece for the Psalms of St. Aogostine ; Caspar Boutats fee. The Massacre of St. Bartholomew. The Assassination of Henry IV. The Decollation of Count Nadasti, Count Corini, and Marquis Francipani. A Sutler's Tent ; after Fh. Wouioerman. He also etched the plates for a folio volume of ' Views of Jerusalem, and the surrounding Country ; ' after the designs of Johannes Peters.
BOUTTATS, Gerakd, the youngest brother of Frederik Bouttats, was bom at Antwerp about the year 1630. He settled at Vienna, where he was appointed engraver to the University. His prints are chiefly portraits ; the following are the principal : Adamus Munds, Physician. 1657. Antx)nius d'Aumont. Charles Joseph, Archduke of Austria. Don Pedro, King of Portugal.

BOUTTATS, Philibebt, a Flemish engraver, the son of Frederik Bouttats, was bom at Antwerp about the year 1650, and died at the age of 72.

BOUYS, Andr6, a French portrait painter and mezzotint engraver, was bom at Hyeres about the year 1656. He studied under Francois de Troy, and acquired sufficient reputation to gain admission into the Academy in 1688, when he presented a portrait of the painter Charles de La Fosse, now at Versailles, where there are likewise two portraits of himself, one of them representing also his first wife. He died in Paris in 1740, having engraved several portraits, among which are the following : Andre Bouys and his first Wife. Francois de Troy, painter. Claude Gros, de Boze ; And.

BOUZAS, J0AN Antonio, was born at Santiago about the year 1672. He was a scholar of Luca Giordano, at Madrid, and proved a very promising artist. He painted easel pictures, which bear a resemblance to those of his master. The troubles occasioned by the war of the succession obliged him to withdraw himself from Madrid, and he returned to his native city. His principal works are in the churches at Santiago. In the cathedral is a picture of ' St. Paul and St. Andrew,' and in the convent of the Dominicans are two altar-pieces by him. He died in 1730.

BOUZONNET, Antoine, (or Bocsonnet,) called A. Stella, was the nephew of Jacques SteDa, and was born at Lyons in 1634. He was instructed by his uncle in the rudiments of design, and is said to have been a reputable painter. For his picture of 'The Pytliian Games' he was in 1666 received a member of the Royal Academy at Paris, where he died in 1682. We have a few etchings by him, among which is ' Moses defending the Daughters of Jethro,' after Poussin.
BOUZONNET, Antoinette, known as A. Stella, was the sister of Antoine and Claudine Bouzonnet, and was born at Lyons about the year 1637. Al- though she was not equal to her sister in the use of the graver, her prints possess considerable merit. Her drawing is generally correct and full of taste. A third sister, FRANgoiSE, was also a talented engraver. We have, among others, the following prints by Antoinette : Romulus and Remus suckled by a Wolf ; after Antoine Bouzonnet. The Entry of the Emperor Sigismund into Mantua; after Giulio Romano.
BOUZONNET, Claudine, called C. Stella, was the niece of Jacques Stella, and was bom at Lyons in 1636. She learned the principles of design from her uncle, but applied herself to engraving, in which she greatly distinguished herself. Her plates are chiefly after the pictures of Jacques Stella and Nicolas Poussin ; and perhaps no artist has been so successful in engravings after the latter painter, she having greatly surpassed Jean Pesne. Her design is correct, and the characters of the heads are admirably expressed. She died in Paris in 1697. The following are her best prints : A set of seventeen plates of pastoral subjects, iucluding the title ; after Jacques Stella. Fifty plates of the Sports of Cliildren, and rural sub- jects ; after the same. The Marriage of St. Catharine ; after the same. Moses found in the Bulrushes ; in two plates ; after JV. Foiissin. Moses striking the Rock ; after the same ; very fine. The Crucifixion, called the Great Calvary; after the same ; very fine. St. Peter and St. John curing the Lame Man ; after the same. The Holy Family, with St. Elisabeth and St. John ; after the same. Another Holy Family, with chiUlren bringing flowers ; after thf same.
BOVINET, Ed5IE, a French engraver, who was born at Chauraont in 1767, was a pupil_ of Patas. His works are after the most eminent Italian, Dutch, and French painters ; some are in the Galerie du Musee Napoleon. He died at Creil about 1832.
