Chapter 15

As the Duke of Richmond was at this time twelve years old, it would seem that this gratuity was given to the woman who had nursed him in his infancy, rather than to the servant who had then the care of him.

Apparently the person who is described as Gentleman Rider of the Stables, in the account of the Funeral expences of Edward IV. on which occasion he received 'nine yards of cloth, and the same quantity for his four servants.Archæologia, vol. iii. p. 386. From theOrdinances of the Householdmade in the 17 Hen. VIII. it appears that his annual wages were 20l.and that he was allowed one hackney.

As nearly all these entries respecting Painters are noticed by Mr. Horace Walpole in hisAnecdotes 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 3l.10s.; 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 4l.13s.4d.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 FrancescoPenni, 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 his associates, being obscured by the lustre of Holbein." Painters formed part of the royal Household, for besides the entries in these accounts of money to Toto and Penn for their livery coats, in theOrdinances for the Regulationof Queen Elizabeth's Household, "to the Serjeant Painter and other, to his appointment" is assigned a fee of 100l.per annum.

Plat of Hastings and Rye, for a,91.

Clearly a plan of those towns, the wordplatoccurs continually in a similar sense. Thus in the account in the Harleian MS. 1419, of furniture in Henry the Eighth's palaces, we find "a long case forplattescovered with vellett," "a case of tynne with a plat." "Certeyne plattes and petygrees in a Cupborde," &c. but the best idea of aplatis afforded by the plate in the second volume of Mr. Ellis's Second Series ofOriginal Letters, which is called "APlattof Calais." In the MS. from whence it is taken is a "Plattof the Lowe Countrye and Calleys, drawne in October, 37 Henry VIII. by Thomas Pettut." As in the Harleian MS. 1419, the word, "Mappes and Pictures" occur, it is evident that a plat differed from both, though it would appear from the engraving alluded to, that it partook of the character of each. The price of the "Plat of Rye and Hastings," which was executed by Vincent the King's painter, was 3l.10s.
