HILLIARD, NICHOLAS, born at Exeter
in 1547, died in London, Jan. 6, 1619. Was
goldsmith, carver, and portrait painter to
Queen Elizabeth and to James I., who gave
him for twelve years the exclusive privilege
"to mint, make, grave, and imprint any
pictures of our image or our royal family."
He painted portraits of Elizabeth, of Mary
Queen of Scots, and of other notable personages,
and was the first English native
artist of importance whose contemporary
reputation has been maintained. Hilliard
was especially noted for his miniatures, of
which that of Jane Seymour in the Royal
Library at Windsor is one of the best. The
influence of Holbein is traceable in his works.
His son, Lawrence Hilliard, who was living
in 1634, was also a miniature painter, and
enjoyed the exclusive patent granted to his
father till its term expired. Work, Portrait
of Queen Elizabeth, National Portrait Gallery.—Wilmot-Buxton,
