See also:DIETRICH, See also:CHRISTIAN WILHELM See also:ERNST (1712-1774) , See also:German painter, was See also:born at See also:Weimar, where he was brought up See also:early to the profession of See also:art by his See also:father Johann See also:George, then painter of miniatures to the See also:court of the See also:duke. Having been sent to See also:Dresden to perfect himself under the care of See also:Alexander Thiele, he had the See also:good See also:fortune to finish in two See also:hours, at the See also:age of eighteen, a picture which attracted the See also:attention of the See also:- KING
- KING (O. Eng. cyning, abbreviated into cyng, cing; cf. O. H. G. chun- kuning, chun- kunig, M.H.G. kiinic, kiinec, kiinc, Mod. Ger. Konig, O. Norse konungr, kongr, Swed. konung, kung)
- KING [OF OCKHAM], PETER KING, 1ST BARON (1669-1734)
- KING, CHARLES WILLIAM (1818-1888)
- KING, CLARENCE (1842–1901)
- KING, EDWARD (1612–1637)
- KING, EDWARD (1829–1910)
- KING, HENRY (1591-1669)
- KING, RUFUS (1755–1827)
- KING, THOMAS (1730–1805)
- KING, WILLIAM (1650-1729)
- KING, WILLIAM (1663–1712)
king of See also:Saxony. See also:Augustus II. was so pleased with Dietrich's readiness of See also:hand that he gave him means to study abroad, and visit in See also:succession the See also:chief cities of See also:Italy and the See also:Netherlands. There he learnt to copy and to imitate masters of the previous See also:century with a versatility truly surprising. See also:Winckelmann, to whom he had been recommended, did not hesitate to See also:call him the See also:Raphael of landscape. Yet in this See also:branch of his practice he merely imitated Salvator See also:Rosa and See also:Everdingen. He was more successful in aping the See also:style of See also:Rembrandt, and numerous examples of this See also:habit may he found in the galleries of St See also:Petersburg, See also:Vienna and Dresden. At Dresden, indeed, there are pictures acknowledged to be his, bearing the fictitious See also:dates of 1636 and 1638, and the name of Rembrandt. Among Dietrich's cleverest reproductions we may See also:account that of See also:Ostade's manner in the " Itinerant Singers " at the See also:National See also:Gallery. His skill, in catching the See also:character of the later masters of See also:- HOLLAND
- HOLLAND, CHARLES (1733–1769)
- HOLLAND, COUNTY AND PROVINCE OF
- HOLLAND, HENRY FOX, 1ST BARON (1705–1774)
- HOLLAND, HENRY RICH, 1ST EARL OF (1S9o-,649)
- HOLLAND, HENRY RICHARD VASSALL FOX, 3RD
- HOLLAND, JOSIAH GILBERT (1819-1881)
- HOLLAND, PHILEMON (1552-1637)
- HOLLAND, RICHARD, or RICHARD DE HOLANDE (fl. 1450)
- HOLLAND, SIR HENRY, BART
Holland is shown in See also:candle-See also:light scenes, such as the " See also:Squirrel and the Peep-Show" at St Petersburg, where we are easily reminded of Godfried See also:Schalcken. Dietrich tried every branch of art except portraits, See also:painting See also:Italian and Dutch views alternately with Scripture scenes and still See also:life. In 1741 he was appointed court painter to Augustus III. at Dresden, with an See also:annual See also:salary of 400 thalers (6o), conditional on the See also:production of four See also:cabinet pictures a See also:year. This See also:condition, no doubt, accounts for the presence of fifty-two of the See also:master's panels and canvases in one of the rooms at the Dresden museum. Dietrich, though popular and probably the busiest artist of his See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O. Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)

time, never produced anything of his own; and his imitations are necessarily inferior to the originals which he affected to copy. His best See also:work is certainly that which he gave to engravings. A collection of these at the See also:British Museum, produced on the See also:general lines of earlier men, such as Ostade and Rembrandt, reveal both spirit and skill. Dietrich, after his return from the See also:Peninsula, generally signed himself " Dietericij," and with this See also:signature most of his extant pictures are inscribed. He died at Dresden, after he had successively filled the important appointments of director of the school of painting at the See also:Meissen See also:porcelain factory and See also:professor of the Dresden See also:academy of arts.
