FOCXDATION OF THE COLLECTION,
MR. SHEEP8HAXKS' DEED OF GIFT.
To ALL TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS SHALL COME, I, JOHN
Sheepshanks, of Rutland Gate, Knightsbridge, in the
Countv of [Middlesex, Esquire, send greeting.
Whereas I desire that a Collection of Pictures and other
Works of Art, fully representing British Art, should be formed,
worthy of national support, and have the advantage of undivided
responsibility^ in its management, instead of being subject to the
control of any body of trustees or managers : And Avhereas I con-
ceive that such a Collection should be placed in a gallery in an
open and airy situation, possessing the quiet necessary to the
study and enjoyment of works of Art, and free from the incon-
veniences and dirt of the main thoroughfares of the metropolis :
And whereas I consider that such a gallery might Ije usefully
erected at Kensington, and be attached to the Schools of Art in
connexion with the Department of Science and Art now estab-
lished there : And whereas, with the vie .v to the establishment of
such a collection, and in the hope that other proprietors of
pictures and other works of Art may be induced to further the
same object, I have determined to make such a conditional gift of
the original pictures and drawings (the productions of British
arti.^ts) which I possess, as hereinafter expressed. And I do,
therefore, hereby transfer the pictures and drawings belonging to
ibc specified in the Schedule hereto, and the property and
proprietorship thereof unto, and do declare that the same shall
remain vested in the Right Honoural)le Edward John Stanley,
Baron Staidey of Alderley, or other the member of Her Majesty's
Government for the time boing charged with the promotion of Art
Education, now undertaken by the Department of Science and Art
as the ex-otticio trustee thereof, upon the following terms and
conditions, viz. : —
I. The said Right Honourable Edward John, Eord Stanley, as
the first and present ex-officio trustee, shall sign a memorandum
of his acceptance of the trusteeship hereunder at the foot
hereof.
2. A well lighted and otherwise suitable gallery, to be called
" The National Gallery of British Art," shall be at once erected
by Her Majesty's Government, and be attached or near to the
public buildings built or to be built for the Department of Science
and Art on the Estate purchased by Her Majesty's Commissioners
for the Exhibition of 1851, or the public parks or gardens at
Kensington.
3. The said pictures and drawings shall be deposited in such
gallery with any other pictures or other works of Art that may be
subsequently placed there by other contributors, as it is not my
desire that my collection of pictures and drawings shall be kept
apart, or bear my name as such.
4. The right of propert}^ and possession in the said pictures
and drawings shall be solely in the ex-officio trustee for the time
being, but subject to the conditions herein expressed ; and the
said pictures and drawings shall always remain under his sole
care and control, and he shall be the sole arbiter of any question
that may arise touching the management or disposition thereof
under these Presents.
5. The said pictures and drawings shall be used (as the primary
object) for reference and instruction in the Schools of Art now or
hereafter placed under the superintendence of the said Depart-
ment, and, subject thereto, shall be exhibited to the public at
such times as shall not interfere with ihe arrangements of the
said Schools, and under such regulations as the ex-officio trustee
shall piescribe ; and as soon as arrangements can be properly made
by him for that purj^ose, the public, and especially the working
classes, shall have the advantage of seeing the collection on Sunday
afternoons ; it being, however, understood that the exhibition of
the collection on Sundays is not to be considered as one of the
conditions of my gift.
6. None of the said pictures and drawings shall ever be
sold or exchanged, or be dealt with contrary to the true spirit
and meaning of the disposition and control thereof herein pre-
scribed ; but this condition shall not restrict the temporary loan
of any of them, upon terms sanctioned by the ex-officio trustee,
to any place in the United Kingdom where an}'' School of Ai't
exists in connexion with the Department of Science and Art, or
generally where there is any safe and proper jjlace for their
reception and public exhibition.
7. The ex-officio trustee shall be advised and assisted on
matters connected with the preservation of the said pictures and
drawings by William jNJulready, Esquire, E.A., or failing
him b}^ Richard Redgrave, Esq., R.A., or failing him by
some one other 11. A. of London, to be selected by the
ex-officio trustee for the time being, as the professional adviser
of the ex-officio trustee.
S. That the ex-officio trustee may sell the right to engrave or
reproduce any of the said pictures or drawings, upon such terms
as he may think proper, but the engravings aucl reproductions
shall be approved by the artist of the picture or drawhig en-
graved or reproduced before publication, and such artist shall be
paid whatever sum may be received by the ex-officio trustee for
the sale of such right.
9. The said pictures and drawings, or the conditional gift of
them hereby made, shall not l»e subject to the provisions of the
Act of the 19 & 20 Victoria, cap. 29, intituled " An Act to
" extend the Powers of the Trustees and Directors of the
" National Gallery, and to authorise the Sale of Works of Art
" belonging to the public," or to any future enactment of the
Legislature which, but for this declaration to the contrary, shall
have the effect of placing the said pictures and drawings under
any other care or ordering than is herein prescribed, or would
otherwise alter or interfere with the disposition thereof hereby
made. And in case of such interference on the part of the
Legislature, or if the terms and conditions as herein expressed be
not strictly adhered to, then the conditional gift hereby made of
the said pictures and drawings, in favour of a National Gallery
of British Art, the Schools of Art, and the public generally, shall
wholly cease, and the ex-officio trustee for the time being shall
thereupon hold the said pictures and drawings in trust for the
L^niversity of Cambridge, to be added to, and for ever thereafter
form part of the Fitz-William Collection in the said University.

MINUTE OF THE LORDS OF THE PPJVY COUNCIL
ON THE ABOVE DEED OF GIFT.
DEPARTMENT OF SCIENCE AND ART.
At the Council Chamber, JFhitehall, the Sixth day of Feh-uary, 1857.
Bij the Right Honourable the Lords of the Committee of
Privy Counxml appointed for the consideration of all matters
relating to Trade and Foreign Plantations.
My Lords take into consideration the Deed of Gift by which
Mr. Sheepshanks transfers to the President of this Board his
valuable Collection of Pictures and Drawings, in order to found
a Gallery of British Art, in connexion with the Schools of Art
under this Board.
The President has accepted with much cfratification the Trustee-
ship created by this Deed, under the conditions therein described.
My Lords are sensible of the great value of the magnificent
gift thus presented to the nation during the lifetime of the Donor,
and they desire to express their admiration of the very liberal
spirit in which it has been made.
My Lords admit the reasonableness of the condition that the
Deed of Gift shall only take effect when a suitable Gallery shall
have been provided in an airy situation near the Gardens or Public
Parks at Kensington, and they have given directions, with the
consent of the Treasury, for the erection of such a Gallery
without delay.
Their Lordships direct that a letter should be written to Mr.
Sheepshanks, thanking him, on the part of the Government, for
his munificent gift to the nation, and for the open character of the
conditions under which it has been made ; and stating, that
whilst the liberality of these conditions has greatly enhanced its
value to the nation, they are well calculated to realise the dis-
interested object of the Donor to found a Gallery of British Art.

INIarvell lodged on the second floor in a court near the Strand ;
his Lordship found him writing, and delivered his errand.
' Pray what had I for dinner yesterday ? ' said Marvell, appeal-
ing to the servant. ' A shoulder of mutton, sir.' ' And what
have I to-day ? ' ' The remainder, hashed.' ' And to-morrow,
my Lord, I shall have a sweet blade-bone broiled ; and I am
sure, my Lord, His Majesty will be too tender in future to bribe
a man with golden apples, who lives so well on the viands of
his native country.' The Lord Treasurer withdrew with smiles,
and Andrew Marvell sent to his bookseller for the loan of a
guinea."

a small brook ran at the foot of the tree. She was dressed in
wbite, and much as my friend described her, except that her
hair hung loose, which before was twisted with a silken net.
She had superadded likewise, to her jacket, a pale green riband,
which fell across her shoulder to the waist ; at the end of which
hung her pipe. Her goat had been as faithless as her lover,
and she had got a little dog in Ueu of him, which she kept tied

That this same paper brings you."

Stewart; went to Scotland about 1772 with his instructor,
Cosmo Alexander, a portrait painter. The death of the latter

England, where he studied under Benjamin We.st and became
well known as a portrait painter. He was several times
imprisoned for debt in England and Ireland. In 1792 he

TURNER. Ill
resided mainly in London. His " Liber Studiorum "
appeared from 1807 to 1819, l)ut was never completed. Li
1819 he visited Italy, and then began his bolder schemes of
colour. Among the paintings which show Turner's wonder-
ful effects of light and colour are " The Bay of Baiae "
(1823), "Caligula's Palace" (1831), " Childe Harold's Pil-
grimage" (18"32), "The Fighting Temeraire " (1839) and
his pictures of Venice. Of the present school of water-
colour painters he may well claim to be one of the principal
founders ; and his landscapes, both in water-colours and in
oils, rank him as one of the gi'eatest masters of his art both
for fertility of invention and for the truthful realisation of
atmosphere and light. Turner died at Chelsea on December
19th, 1851, and was buried beside Sir Joshua Eeynolds in
St. Paul's Cathedral. After the terms of his Avill were settled
several hundreds of his oil-paintings, water-colours and
drawings came into the possession of the National Gallery,
and £20,000 was entrusted to the Royal Academy, which
employed it to found the "Turner Annuities."

later placed him with a law stationer. Subsequently,
however, John Varley obtained employment with a portrait
painter in Holborn, and studied under J. C. Barrow, a
teacher of drawing, from about 1794. Yarley was one of
the young artists patronised by Dr. Monro. After visiting
Peterborough with Barrow, he exhibited a view of Peter-
borough Cathedral in 1798. About this time he paid his
first visit to Wales. In 180-4 he helped to found the Old
Water Colour Society, to whose exhibitions he contributed
over 700 Avorks. His style is broad and simple, deriving
great freshness from pure tints and facility of treatment.
Varley published works on drawing, perspective, and
astrology, and had a considerable reputation as an art teacher,
numbering among his pupils Turner of Oxford, David Cox,
John Linnell, and Mulready ; but his life ended in poverty,
on November 17th, 1842.

WATTS, George Frederick, O.M., R.A.
Born in London on February 23rd, 1817, of Welsh
descent. On account of ill-health he received no regular
schooling in his childhood, but he possessed a very retentive
memory. He entered the Royal Academy Schools in 1835
and studied from the antique at the British Museum. From
1837 he exhibited at the Royal Academy. At the West-
minster Hall competition of 1843 he won a prize of £300
with his " Caractacus." Thus enabled to go abroad he pro-
ceeded to Florence, where he remained about four years.
In 1847, the year of Watts' return to England, he received
a prize of £500 in the Westminster Hall competition for his-
*' Alfi'ed inciting the Saxons to prevent the Landing of the
Danes." In 1856 he visited Constantinople. He was elected
A.R.A. in 1867 and R.A. in the same year; in 1896 he
became an Honorary Retired Academician. He rose to the
front rank as a portrait painter, and during his long career
painted the portraits of many of his most eminent contem-
poraries, such as Carlyle, John Stuart Mill, Gladstone, and
Millais. Apart from his portraits, the motive of his chief
works is didactic and humanitarian. " Faith," " Hope,"
"Charity," "Love and Life" and "Love and Death " are
among his symbolic pictures. He also painted mythological
subjects and landscapes. He executed a few pieces of
sculpture, including " Physical Energy," a heroic figure of a
man on horseback, bronze casts of which are over Cecil:
Rhodes's grave in the Matoppo Hills, Rhodesia, and in
Kensington Gardens. Watts presented many of his works
to the National Gallery, British Art, Millbank (Tate
Gallery) and other institutions. He continued working till
the last, and died on July 1st, 1904. He was buried at
Compton.

WEBSTER, Thomas, R.A.
Born in Kanelagh Street, Pimlico, on March 20th, 1800 ;
was originally intended for the mnsical profession, but
exchanged it for that of a painter, and entered as a student
of the Royal Academy in 1821. The character of the
studies there at first directed him towards historical subjects,
but he early proved the original bent of his genius for
portraying the humours and games of children, a field of art
which he maintained against all rivals. He exhibited from
1823 at the Royal Academy and elsewhere, and was elected
A.R.A. in 18-iO, and R.A. in 18-i6 ; he became an Honorary
Retired Academician in 1876, and exhibited for the last
time in 1879. Some of his oil pictures, such as " The Dame's
School," " The Smile," and " The Frown." became very
popular through engravings. From 1856 AVebster lived at

beauty and proportion of the former : her person was swelled
by luxury and ease, to a size quite disproportioned and un-
comely ; she had painted her complexion . . . and endeavoured
to appear graceful by a mixture of affectation in all her gestures.

120 WILKIE.
WILKIE, Sir David, R.A.
Was the son of a Scotch minister, and was born at Cults,
Fifeshire, on No^^ember 18th, 1785. At the age of fourteen
he was sent to the Trustees' Academy at Edinburgh, whence
he returned to Cults in 1804. Having made some money
by painting portraits, Wilkie went to London in 1805,
became a student of the Royal Academy, and exhibited
there in 1806. His subjects from domestic life, painted in
oils, attracted the attention of the public, and he acquired
an extensive practice ; he was elected A. R.A. in 1809 and
R.A. in 1811. In 1814 he went to Paris, and in 1817 and
1822 he visited Scotland. On the failure of his health in
1825, Wilkie travelled abroad. Influenced perhaps by the
Spanish masters, his style now changed, and his subsequent
productions did not came up to his earlier pictures. On the
death of Lawrence in 1830, Wilkie was appointed Sergeant
Painter to the King, and he painted several Royal portraits ;
in 1836 he was knighted. In 1840 he toured in the East,
and died at sea near Gibraltar on his way home, on June 1st,
1841.
