NEVE (Francis), a Dutch engraver and painter, was 
born at Antwerp in 1627. He ftudied the works of Ru¬ 
bens and Vandyke, and afterwards travelled to Italy. 
He became a landfcape-painter of confiderable merit, and 
fucceeded remarkably well in introducing fmall figures 
into his pictures. On his return to his native city, Van 
Neve etched a confiderable number of landfcapes, into 
which he introduced hiftorical figures with much judg¬ 
ment. They are executed in a flight, but intelligent, ityle; 
the effedls are very agreeable ; and they are all from his 
own compofitions, proving at once the excellency of his 
tafte, and the fertility of his genius. The following are 
feledled from his works, as being the moll meritorious : 
A pair of mountainous landfcapes with buildings, and 
figures in the coftume of the Grecians; a pair of land¬ 
fcapes of the fame charadler, with an angler and two other
