He was the fon and difciple of J. B. 
Weenix, and was born at Amiterdam, in 
1644.3; but although his father exerted 
all his indufry to nmprove him in every 
branch of his prcoiefiion, the moft effential 
part of his fkill mu{t have been derived 
from his inceffant ftudy of nature.

Portrait of a Pilzrim, 2 feet 10 by 2 fret 4. 
This painter was puoi! to the celebrat- 
ed Chriftian Scybold, and died at Vienna 
a few years ago. This picture is exqui- 
fitely painted, and would of itfelf prove 
him an excellent portrait painter.

Interior of the Cathedral of Heidelberg, 4 feet 2 
| high, 4 feet 3 wide. 
To thofe who are partial to this ranch 
of the art this view will afford a high gra- 
tification: if is inimitably painted. We 
have ventured to infert the name of Gerard, 
though in. the Count’s Catalogue it is 
printed as the work of Hiob (fob) Van 
Buckbeyder, becavte we believe Fob did 
not paint fuch fubjects, neither was Job 
drowned, as the Count’s Catalogue afferts, 
but according to various writers of the 
lives of the painters, &c. Gerard was 
drowned, at the age of torty-eight, in a 
canal, as he returned home alone, after 
pafiing a cheerful evening with 2 party of 
his friends.

‘This painter’s preductions have ufually 
a bold: effect and: uncommon lufire. In 
this he has been very happy in the charac-— 
ter of the female, who though rather vul- 
gar in demeanour and habit, is fo marked 
with attention to her father, and fo evi- 
dently lifening with apprehenfion of fur- 
prife, that ic Becomes a very interefting 
and impreffive picture; though the yel- 
low and brown tints predominate too 
much for it to be pleafing. 
REMBRANDT. VAN RHYN. 
By this great -artift there are eight pic- - 
tures. That of the woman fitting with 
her child is in a fine tone and good keep- 
ing. A Dutch landfcape, a bird’s-eye 
view, is in colouring rich, luxuriant and 
natural. As to the other characters,though 
it would be dificult to-confute Lavater in 
his aflertion that ‘* Rembrant’s works 
abound in all the molt taftelefs paffions of 
the vulgar,” yet their colouring ima de- 
gree compenfates for their characters, and 
we are compelled to admire what we can~ 
not wholly approve.
