As nearly all these entries respecting Painters are noticed by Mr.
Horace Walpole in his _Anecdotes of Painting_, they afford no new
information on the subject. The names of those who are mentioned
are Vincent who painted a plat of Hastings and Rye, for which he
was paid 3_l._ 10_s._; Bartholomew Penne, Anthony Toto, Andrew
Oret, and Ambrose, the Queen of Navarre's painter. Of Vincent, Mr.
Walpole gives no account; Ambrose, he conjectures to have stood in
but little estimation, because the sum given him for a picture was
only 4_l._ 13_s._ 4_d._ but of Penne and Tote we have the following
particulars: "Penne or Penn is called by Vasari not Bartholomew but
Luca Penni; he was brother of Gio Francesco Penni, a favourite
and imitator of Raphael. He worked some time at Genoa and in other
parts of Italy, whence he came into England, and painted several
pieces for the king and some merchants here. Vertue concludes that
some scriptural subjects which he found in a small room called
the Confessionary, near the Chapel at Hampton Court, particularly
the Passion, were by Penn. Vasari adds, that Luca Penni addicted
himself latterly to making designs for Flemish engravers. Toto
was afterwards Serjeant Painter, and Rymer (vol. xiv. p. 595.)
gives his letters of Naturalization. Speaking of Ridolphi fils
de Dominique Ghirlandaio, he says, 'Chez lui il y avait Toto del
Nuntiato, qui depuis s'en alla en Angleterre, ou il fit plusieurs
ouvrages de peinture et d'architecture, avec lequel Perrin fut
amitié, et a l'envie l'un de l'autre s'efforcoit à bien faire.'
But Toto's works are all lost or unknown; his fame, with that of
Public-domain text, read in full here on John Shaqi.
