BOTH, John, in Biography, an eminent landfcape paint- 

 er, was born at Utrecht in 1610, and, after having been 

 tlie difciplo of Abraham I'jloemart, went for improvement to 

 Rome, where he refided many years ; directing his atten- 

 tion t.> landfcape, in which he attained to liigli perfec- 

 tion. His model was the (lyle of Claude Loiraine; and 

 fome of his perfirmance? are mentioned m competition with 

 tliofe of Clande. The warmth of his fl:ies, the judicious and 

 regular receding of the objefts, and the fweetncfs of his dif- 

 tances, afford a pleafnre luperior to that produced by the 

 works of almort any other artill. His tints are fo admirably 

 formed as to exprefs not only the light of the morning 

 breaking from behind hills 9nd woods, aiid diffuHng a warm 

 glow over the v^holc face of nature, and alfo the fettirg of 

 the fun with its tinge in the clouds, but even the different 

 hours of the day. By his colouring he obtained the dillinc- 

 tion of being called " Both of Italy." We have alfo by 

 his hand a fet of ten landfcapts, which are etched in a 

 flight, free, maiterly llyle. He loft his life by accidentally 

 foiling into a canal at Venice in 1650. Filkington and

 and fometimes landfcapes, in the manner of his brother, and

 breadth at 12. It is feparated from Rnflia and Finland, 

 properly fo called, by a chain of hills, which runs along its 

 ealt hde. Thefe mountains fupply large livers, of which 

 fimie difcharge themfelves into the White fea, and others into 

 the gulfs of Bothnia and Finland. The country, cfpecially 

 on the fea coaff towards the fouth, is low and marfliy ; 

 however, the indnllry of the inhabitants has made it pro- 

 duCfiveof corn.tliough the cold and fro II often difappoint their 

 hopes, and feveral traif s of land lie walle. It abounds with 

 wood, and its lakes and rivers yield plenty of filh. Some of 

 the rivers are faid to have furniflied pearls. The inhabitants 

 derive their chief fubtiftence from agriculture, grazing, burn. 

 ing lime and tiles, and making pitch and tar. They alfo
