[87] Thomas Woolner, the Sculptor and P.R.B. His handwriting was very distinct and precise. [88] The two streets were (I think) Titchfield Street, Marylebone, and Torrington Square. [89] The calf in the picture named _Found_, begun by Dante Gabriel Rossetti by this date. [90] Woolner had tried his fortune in Australia, and had now returned to England. [91] _The Death of Richard Cœur de Lion_, painted by John Cross. [92] G. W. M. Reynolds, a well-known novelist and demagogic journalist of that period: he published a serial called _Reynolds’s Miscellany_. The existing weekly paper, _Reynolds’s Newspaper_, was, I think, founded by him. [93] The “absurd old pictures” include, apparently, an _Ecce Homo_ by Mattia di Giovanni, the _Vision of St. Bernard_ by Lippo Lippi, &c. [94] The so-called Albert Durer is now ascribed to Baldung--_Head of a Senator_. [95] The picture that Brown terms a Masaccio was, I think, a portrait--a very telling one. No work now figures under the name of that master in the National Gallery. [96] The Rembrandts and Wilkie had been bequeathed to the Gallery--not purchased by Dyce. [97] Mr. Wentworth, a leading statesman in Australia, had been invited to sit for a public statue, and he had been expected to fix on Mr. Woolner as the sculptor. After long lagging (hence, it seems, Brown calls him “the Lag”) he selected some different artist. [98] Brown had known “old Williams” through the Rossetti family. Dante Rossetti, in his first picture, _The Girlhood of Mary Virgin_, painted Williams in the character of St. Joachim. [99] In the completed picture there is not any figure of an artist. [100] Mr. Richard Burchett, a painter by profession, who held a leading post in the Department of Art. [101] Lowes (brother of Robert) Dickinson, the able Portrait painter. [102] The word written appears to be “obtaining”; perhaps a slip for “remaining.” [103] Thomas Seddon, who had been to Egypt and Jerusalem along with Mr. Holman Hunt. [104] Dr. John Brown, the originator of “the Brunonian System of Medicine.” His works and a biography of him have been published, and a portrait of him is in the Scottish National Portrait Gallery, Edinburgh. [105] I may be excused for saying here that I did all that I could. I put the matter plainly before my uncle Henry Polydore; he, although “in the law,” knew very little about such concerns, and probably had to say so. [106] _The Angel in the House._ [107] This is an anecdote which has been detailed elsewhere. Scott’s volume contained a fly-sheet title “Poems by a Painter.” Carlyle read the word “Painter” as being “Printer”; and he wrote to the supposed working printer in terms apposite to his mis-reading. [108] The well-known sculptor. [109] Mr. Windus of Tottenham, a noted picture-collector. [110] A specimen of fresco-work which Brown had sent to the Westminster Hall competition, 1844, for the Houses of Parliament.
