Click on thumbnail for a larger image	Sir Isaac Newton, 1845 (and then 2006). Digital image from a 600-dpi scan.. John Vanderbank (1694-1739). Excellent condition. 11 x 17 inches (The following excerpted from the Grove Dicitonary of Art)...Vanderbank, John [Van der Banck, Johan], the younger. (b London, 9 Sept 1694; d London, 23 Dec 1739). English painter and illustrator of Dutch origin. He was first instructed in drawing by his father, John Vanderbank the elder (d 1717), a tapestry-weaver of Soho, London. He worked at Kneller’s Academy from its foundation in 1711 but broke away in 1720 and with Louis Chéron set up a new school in St Martin’s Lane, London, at which a greater emphasis was placed on life drawing. He had begun as a portrait painter and in the 1720s attracted sitters who included Isaac Newton (1725; version, London, Royal Soc.), Martin Folkes (untraced; mezzotint by J. Faber, 1737) and Thomas Guy (London, Guy’s Hosp.). Royal commissions included George I (1726; Windsor Castle, Berks, Royal Col.) and Queen Caroline (1736; Goodwood House, W. Sussex). At that time he also did some decorative painting, executing designs on a staircase at 11 Bedford Row, London (c. 1720); this commission included an equestrian portrait of George I surrounded by allegorical figures, as well as an allegory of the Arts and of Britannia receiving the commerce of the world. Some of his drawings, such as Cybele (version, Chicago, IL, A. Inst.) and St Michael in Combat with Lucifer (Vienna, Albertina), similarly show an interest in Baroque decorative design, but he did not develop this further. Print ID# 800731 $17.50
