 Dnvrs, Arthur William, dc’wis, an English
painter, who received, when very young, 3. silver
medal from the hands of Sir Joshua. Reynolds,
then president of the Royal Academy, for profi-
eieuey in the arts. He was employed by the
L‘. 1: India. Company, when only twenty years
of age, as dmughtsnian on avoyuge of disco-
very; but the whip despatehed on the expedition
was wrecked on the L’ellew Islands, and Devis,
alter mueh privation, succeeded in reaching
Bengal, where Sir William Jones and other
distinguished individuals received him kindly,
and warmly patronized him. He returned to
England in 1795, and successfully practised his
art for many years. His most important pie-
turcs are — “King John Si ing Mngna
Charts,” “Lord Cornwallis reeeivmg the Sons
of Tippoo Sahib as Hostages,” and the “ Battle
of Trm'alger." Before executing the last-named
work, Devis went on board the Victory, and ,
made a sketch of the cockpit where Nelson
died, and likewise took portraits of the officers
and others who surrounded the hero in his last
moments. B, Aug. 10, 1762; D. Feb. 11, 1822.
