Painting in England. 597 England — with the exception of a few short journeys on the Continent — has left many portraits in the Royal palaces and private galleries of this country. The Man- chester Exhibition included about twenty of these master- pieces ; quite as many were shown in the National Portrait Exhibition of 1866; and thirty-six in the Exhibition of works by the Old Masters in 1880. During the same reign there also came to England a Fleming, Geraert Lucas Horebout, or Horneband (1475 — 1558) of Ghent, who painted portraits for the king. His daughter Susanna also painted miniatures in England : and about the time of Holbein's death, another great artist came to London : Sir Anthony More (called in his own country Antonis Mor) was, like his master Jan van Schoorl, a citizen of the world ; born at Utrecht, in Holland, he worked in Italy, Spain, Portugal and England, and subsequently died at Antwerp. He had a rival at the court of Queen Mary, a Fleming, Joost van Cleef, or Cleve (born ab. 1500) of Antwerp, a portrait painter of considerable talent. An- other Fleming, Lucas de Heere (1534? — 1584), of Ghent, also painted for Queen Mary, and continued to be employed during the next reign. Queen Elizabeth was not in want of artists — foreigners for the most part; a native of Gouda, Cornelis Ketel, arrived in 1573, and lived in London for eight years; an Italian, Federigo Zuccaro (1543 — 1609), arrived in 1574 ; and a Fleming, Marc Garrard, stayed many years in England, where he died in 1635. Nevertheless the influence of Holbein produced a few followers among Englishmen, especially in miniature painting.
