English historical painter, who, after completing
his studies at the Royal Academy, began his
artistic career as a pertraitpainter. His first
work which attracted attention was “The Ap-
pointed Hour,” wherein a young,r Italian gentle-
man lies dead, from the dagger of abravo, at the

. bottom of afli ht of steps, while his mistress,
unconscious o the act, is descending to meet
1 him. This was one of the most popular prints
1 ofitsday. After havingtravelledinltaly, Herbert
‘ produced a seriesgf Venetian pictures, among

the best of which were “The Brides of Ve-
nice," aud “ Pirates of Istria bearing off the

irides of Venice.” On embracing the Roman ‘
Catholic faith, his style underwent a. very
marked change; henceforth he painted only
scriptural or ecclesiastical subjects, all of
which were wrought in the mcdiieval manner;
“The First Introduction of Christianity into
Britain,” “ Christ and the Daughter of Samaria,"
and “Our Saviour and his Parents at Naza-
reth,” being among his best works at this
period. He was elected a BA. in 1846, where-
npon his style became again modified. In 18-13
he was commissioned to paint a picture from
“King Lear,” which, wiLh some others, was
executed in fresco for the new palace at West-
minster. He subsequently engaged to paint
" Moses Descending from the Mount,” for the
same buildin . n. at Maldon Essex 1810. ‘
