Description:
| PHILIP GILBERT HAMERTON (1834—1894) was an English artist and author. In 1866 he published his standard work on Etching and Etchers. He was also an art critic to the Saturday Review. In 1870 he established an art journal of his own, The Portfolio, a monthly periodical, each number of which consisted of a monograph upon some artist or a group of artists, frequently written and always edited by him. The monographs were accompanied by the original prints taken from the plates, prepared by eminent artists of the day for the purpose of being published in The Portfolio.
THIS charmingly fresh and naive whole-length portrait of one of our grandmothers, in the costume she wore when being conducted to church on a Sunday some time in 1810 or thereabouts, is a capital example of the studies of one of the most sincere and thoroughly accomplished painters known to the century. She is English to the heart, and as innocent as it is possible to be. Her huge beaver hat is not much smaller than her mother's ; the cap that matron thought proper to adopt, although it concealed her hair, was made of lace, and was reproduced on a somewhat smaller scale in the quaint frame of similar material in which she shut the pretty features of the little one; the very pelisse, with its comfortable cape and well-designed sleeves, and the voluminous petticoats which distend the thick frock of the child, are suited to an adult. Comfort, and a desire to make the infant look as her mother would appear through a reversed telescope, directed the fashions for small folks in our grandmothers' days. Theirs was a period during which the idea that the attire of children should be a thing of itself had no hold on the British materfamilias, who had good, or bad, authority for so much disregard of common-sense. The fashions of her great-grandmother, grandmother, and mother, had followed the same principle and carried its application still further, in preserving not so much the inodes of the immediately preceding generations, as that method of dressing which had obtained in the one which was penultimate. Thus the children of 1800 wore not the costumes of, say, 1775, but of 1750. This may be noticed in some of Hogarth's pictures, and especially in the works of his earlier years, when the babies of 1745 are dressed in costumes reminiscent of Queen Anne.
The young boys are, in pictures of the last century, en grande tenue, and little beaux; the small girls are belles on scales reduced from life-size, and clad without the slightest heed of the proportions of their dresses to their tiny frames. The fact is an odd one, but it indicated something like a departure from that still more curious custom, according to which until a child was about nine years old it was dressed without the least attention to its sex, and boys wore petticoats long after the time at which the notions of our own time demand that they shall be breeched. There is now in the New Gallery a portrait of Charles l., lent by the Duke of Portland and numbered 66, which shows the king-to-be in a green velvet petticoat, although he could not be less than seven years old. When the boys were breeched at the period in question, they were (see the whole-length figure of Darnley at nine years of age, No. 20, at the same exhibition) clad like little men and assumed all the accessories of male adult attire. That this custom obtained at a still earlier period may be seen in Pontormo's Portrait of a Boy, No. 649 in the National Gallery, painted about 1520. The picture before us, from an original at South Kensington, was, doubtless, made as a study for a larger work or as part of the design for a composition of figures which has not been identified. It is executed with the utmost freedom and abounding care, confirmed and made facile by unceasing research and exercises in draughtsmanship without stint, and yet it has not the least sign of labour. Mulready was, as it is said above, one of the most thorough executants in England; he devoted a long life to perfecting his handicraft. ' I consider him,' said Sir C. Eastlake, ' the best and most judicious teacher the Academy ever had in my recollection,' and ' I have no doubt that if such a man as Mr. Mulready was the constant teacher of drawing in the Royal Academy, the degree of excellence in that department would be higher.' Sir E. Landseer bore witness of him, ' His drawings are remarkable for their accuracy; everything seems to be done on oath by him.' He said of himself, 'I have drawn all my life as if I were drawing for a prize.' This was Reply No. 1564 in the evidence before a Select Committee of the House of Commons to inquire into the Royal Academy, 1863, and the sentence contained his last words as a witness.

法兰西王室最后的妃子
【法国历史上的李师师】杜·巴利夫人是法兰西王室最后的妃子。15岁时她给一个包税人的遗孀当女伴，因为勾搭主人儿子被赶走。后到一家女帽店当售货员，不久在这里艳名远扬。1763年，她在赌场遇见了让·杜·巴利伯爵迅速勾搭在一起。没多久伯爵厌倦了她，把她介绍给了首相马雷夏·德·黎塞留。为了权力斗争，首相又精心安排她和法王路易十五幽会，她凭借高超的技艺一举霸占了龙床.
她一开始是以Mademoiselle Lange的名号成为了高级交际花，黎塞留公爵是她当时的恩客。然而在1768年，让·杜巴利发现她路易十五开始注意到她，而杜巴利似乎也对国王有着不小的影响力。但此时她还不够格成为国王正式的情妇，因为她缺少了一个头衔；这个问题透过了1769年她与杜巴利的兄弟Comte Guillaume du BarryGuillaume伯爵的婚姻而解决了。1769年4月2日她被引见给皇室以及法院成员。自此之后，她就开始带着印度籍随从Zamor、穿上奢华的晚装、在脖子与耳垂[戴上了精致华丽的珠宝，因为现在她已经正式成为了路易十五公开的情妇。
当她开始进行派系之争时，与外务大臣舒瓦瑟尔公爵成为了死对头。她和前辈庞巴度夫人不同，杜巴利对于国王没有政治上的影响力， 她只对华服与珠宝有兴趣。
当国王知道了她在艺术上的天份和不遗余力的支持之后，就资助了大笔款项给她。但这也成为她逐渐引起他人不满的原因。她与玛丽·安托瓦内特的关系也引起争论。安托瓦内特因为是与奥地利结盟的拥护者而支持了舒瓦瑟尔，并且因与杜巴利的对话违抗法院的命令（也是后续事件发生的主要背景）。
玛丽·安托瓦内特在一个舞会上被迫对她说："在凡尔赛宫里有好多人喔。" 这对对话打破皇室礼节的规范，因为杜巴利并不被允许和玛丽·安托瓦内特交谈。
在国王的要求之下，在1774年5月死亡之前，杜巴利被法院放逐到Pont-au-Dames修道院，此举是因为她无道德的表现会妨碍国王接受赦免。二年后她搬到她闻名的（Chateau de Louveciennes），在此地她继续著情妇的生涯，当时与她有关系的情人是亨利·塞莫尔和布立萨公爵。
监禁、审判和处决
1792年她数度前往伦敦的借口是要找回失窃的珠宝，不过被怀疑是去提供法国大革命流亡者的财务资助。 接下来的一年，她因支持革命的叛乱罪遭到逮捕。当她在监狱的期间，和她同房的牢友是交际花Grace Elliott。在经过一次审讯之后，她在1793年的12月8日，于协和广场被处以断头台的死刑。她曾为了试图拯救自己，而说出珠宝在自己住所的藏匿地点。
在去到断头台的路上，她不断的在死囚车里崩溃大叫着：" 你将要伤害我！为什么？"（原文：You are going to hurt me! why!）。当死刑执行时她变的非常歇斯底里，不断嘶吼著，哀求站在断头台周围的群众能给他仁慈的宽恕。她对群众的召唤让断头台刽子手更渴望且加速要完成自己的任务。她对刽子手最后说的话是："Encore un moment, monsieur le bourreau, un petit moment"（等一下，刽子手，只要一下子就好。），这也是她最为人熟知的遗言
