It was not until 1820, when she began her seven years' connexion with the recently founded Gymnase, that she won her triumphs in soubrette and " breeches" parts, which came to be known as " Dejazets." From x828 she played at the Nouveautes for three years, then at the Varietes, and finally became manager, with her son, of the Folies, which was renamed the See also:Theatre Dejazet. Here, even at the age of sixty-five, she had marvellous success in youthful parts, especially in a number of See also:Sardou's earlier plays, previously unacted. She retired in 1868, and died on the 1st of See also:December 1875, leaving a See also:great name in the See also:annals of the French stage.

THOMAS (1596 or 1597-1667), Dutch painter, was born at See also:Amsterdam, the son of the architect and sculptor Hendrik de Keyser. We have no definite knowledge of his training, and but scant See also:information as to the course of his See also:life, though it is known that he owned a See also:basalt business between 1640 and 1654. Aert Pietersz, Cornelis vanider Voort, See also:Werner See also:van Valckert and See also:Nicolas See also:Elias are accredited by different authorities with having See also:developed his See also:- TALENT (Lat. talentum, adaptation of Gr.

talent; and M. Karl Woermann, who has pronounced in favour of Nicolas Elias is supported by the fact that almost all that See also:master's pictures were formerly attributed to De Keyser, who, in like See also:fashion, exercised some See also:influence upon See also:Rembrandt when, he first went to Amsterdam in 1631. De Keyser chiefly excelled as a portrait painter, though he also executed some See also:historical and mythological pictures, such as the " See also:Theseus " and " See also:Ariadne " in the Amsterdam See also:town See also:- HALL

hall. His See also:portraiture is full of See also:character and masterly in handling, and often, as in the " Old Woman " of the See also:Budapest See also:gallery, is distinguished by a See also:rich See also:golden glow of See also:colour and Rembrandtesque See also:chiaroscuro. Some of his portraits are life-See also:size, but the artist generally preferred to keep them on a considerably smaller See also:scale, like the famous " See also:Group of Amsterdam Burgomasters " assembled to receive See also:Marie de' See also:Medici in 1638, now at the See also:Hague museum. The See also:sketch for this important See also:painting, together with three other drawings, was sold at the See also:Gallitzin See also:sale in 1783 for the sum of threepence. The See also:German See also:emperor owns an " Equestrian Portrait of a See also:young Dutchman," by De Keyser, a See also:late See also:work which in general disposition and in the soft manner of painting recalled the work of See also:Cuyp. Similar pictures are in the See also:Dresden and See also:Frankfort museums, in the Heyl collection at See also:Worms, and the See also:Liechtenstein Gallery in See also:Vienna. The See also:National Gallery, See also:London, owns a characteristic portrait group of a '" See also:Merchant with his Clerk "; the Hague museum, besides the group already referred to, a magnificent " Portrait of a Savant," and the See also:Haarlem museum a See also:fine portrait of " Claes See also:Fabricius." At the Ryks Museum in Amsterdam there are no fewer than twelve See also:works from his See also:brush, and other important examples are to be found in See also:Brussels, See also:Munich, See also:Copenhagen and St See also:Petersburg.
