HOSKINS, JOHN (d. 1664)

This article appears in Volume V13, Page 791 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: HOR-I25
HOSKINS, JOHN (d. 1664) , English miniature painter, the uncle of Samuel Cooper, who received his artistic education in Hoskins's
house
 . His finest miniatures are at Ham
House
 , Montagu House, Windsor Castle, Amsterdam and in the Pierpont
Morgan
  collection.
Vertue
  stated that Hoskins had a son, and Redgrave added that the son painted a portrait of James II. in 1686 and was paid IO, 5s. for it, a statement for which there must have been some evidence, although it is not supported by any reference in the State Papers. Some contemporary
inscriptions
  on the miniatures at Ham House
record
  them as the
work
  of "Old Hoskins," but the fact of the existence of a younger artist of the same name is settled by a miniature in the Pierpont
Morgan
  collection, signed by Hoskins, and bearing an authentic engraved inscription on its contemporary
frame
  to the effect that it represents the duke of Berwick at the age of twenty-nine in 1700. The elder Hoskins was buried on the 22nd of February 1664, in St Paul's, Covent Garden, and as there is no doubt of the authenticity of this miniature or of
the signature upon it, it is evident that he had a son who survived him thirty-six years and whose
monogram
  we find upon this portrait. The
frame
  of it has also the royal coat of arms de bruised, the batons of a
marshal
  of France, the collar of the Golden Fleece and the ducal coronet. (G. C. W.)
