	George Clarke Print Collection
		George Clarke (1661-1736), whose monument in All Souls commemorates his 'taste in architecture, poetry and painting', was the only child of Sir William Clarke (d.1666), a member of the Parliamentary army secretariat, who became George Monck's secretary and after the Restoration Secretary at War to Charles II.
		George Clarke matriculated at Brasenose College, Oxford in 1676, and in 1680 was elected fellow of All Souls.
		According to George Vertue, he was involved in an attempt to get Gérard Audran to engrave the Raphael cartoons at Hampton Court from copies made by Charles Jervas; this resulted in two prints.

		George I. had no conception of anything abstract: taste, erudition, science, art, were like a dead language to his common sense, his vulgar profligacy, and his personal predilections.
		Vertue was a man of modest merit, and was educated merely as an engraver; but, conscious of talent, studied drawing, which he afterwards applied to engraving.
		George Augustus Selwyn, then, famous for his wit, and notorious for his love of horrors, was the second son of a country gentleman, of Matson, in Gloucestershire, Colonel John Selwyn, who had been an aide-de-camp of Marlborough's, and afterwards a frequenter of the courts of the first two Georges.

	Horace Walpole, 4th Earl of Orford - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

	George W. Bush & the “Mandate of Heaven”
		Whether or not George W. Bush ever had such a “Mandate of Heaven,” even if he believes that he has—perhaps it was “bestowed” upon him by the Supreme Court certifying his election in 2000—he certainly seems to have lost it since then.
		Certainly, George Bush has lost the “Mandate” of most of the rest of the world, outside of a few client states and toadies; the President’s recent reception before the U.N. made that quite evident.
		George Bush did not create these tendencies that go well back into our history, but he has greatly accelerated and exacerbated them.

	About GEORGE LAMBERT (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Described by many as the 'Father of English Landscape Oil Painting', George Lambert was instrumental in depicting the English landscape as a fashionable alternative to the classical and Italianate landscape that had hitherto been in vogue, as well as the traditional portraiture of the day that was popular among the gentry.
		HIS LIFE: Aside from his paintings, George Lambert was also employed by John Rich (Father of English Pantomime!) from the early 1720's to 1732 at Lincoln's Inn Fields Theatre as scene painter.
		The date of 1700 is computed from 'diaries' of a fellow artists George Vertue, who in 1722 described him as "...a young hopeful painter in landscape, aged 22...".

	Vertue & Walpole
		Although transparently honest, George Vertue was not a stickler for pedantic exactness or factual verification.
		Vertue "praised Peter Monamy (c.1683-1749) for his 'understanding in the forms and buildings of shipping with all the tackles ropes and sails etc.' and for his 'neatness and clean pencilling of sky and water'.
		Since not one of the writers quoted above, Vertue, Walpole, Pilkington, Bryan, Williamson, Redgrave, the DNB, Home, Grant, Whinney, Millar, Waterhouse, Osborne, Burke, appears to have had more than a minimal interest in marine painting, or knowledge of seamanship and the sea, their smug opinions are worthless, as Joseph Highmore might have told them.

	Biography of Peter Monamy
		He began as a decorative painter and was made a freeman of the Painter-Stainers’ Company in 1703 following a seven-year training under the house-painter William Clarke.
		George Vertue records that Monamy had a natural interest in painting shipping which he developed by observation and practice, and that he built up a considerable mercantile and Royal Naval clientele.
		He lived much of his life in Westminster, close to some of his naval patrons (especially the Durell family of Jersey) and died there in ‘indifferent’ financial circumstances according to Vertue, from charging modest prices and working much for dealers.

		These three short chorus settings of famous poems by George Herbert (1593-1633) were written in memory of Peter Lerwill, a dear friend and generous supporter of the Spitalfields Festival.
		The settings of Vertue and Antiphon are respectively like a madrigal and then a hymn, aiming for the clearest possible presentation of the wonderful words.
		As a previous artistic director, Weir has retained close links with the [Spitalfields] festival, and Vertue was commissioned in memory of one of its most loyal supporters, Peter Lewill, who died last year.

		It seems that the Monamy's beginnings as a marine painter may be traced to Cornelius van der Velde's studio, and, indeed, Vertue refers to him as painting imitations of Van der Velde and other famous Dutch masters.
		He travelled frequently to the continent as a statesman, and was assiduous in playing court to King George I during his long stays away from England.
		His frequent travels seem to have brought about his interest in ships, and he was opposed to the bill that was proposed to Parliament which would have forbidden English shipbuilders from making ships for the foreign market.
