NAVARRETE

NAVARRETE, Martin Fernandez de, a Spanish historical painter, was born at Alcala in Old Castile in 1765. After receiving his education at Vergara, he entered the navy as a midshipman in 1780. His ship was engaged in the successful siege of Gibraltar in 1783, and afterwards in the crusades against the Algerines and other pirates that infested the Mediterranean. Declining health, however, forced him to retire from active service in 1788. Meanwhile, in addition to his professional knowledge, he had been steadily acquiring an accurate acquaintance with history. The Spanish king, Charles IV., therefore fixed upon him as the proper person for compiling a collection of documents touching the maritime history of the country, and Navarrete, by himself, perforce, to search the national archives for new dates and other sources of information, repeatedly stupided his great undertaking. The war, then, against the French and subsequently against the British, kept him on his post on board the fleet from 1793 to 1797. Then he received an appointment in the office of the minister of marine. The invasion of the French happened in 1808, and forced him to remove to Seville. Office tasks soon lost his attention after the restoration of Ferdinand IV. At length, in 1825, the first and second volumes of his gigantic work appeared under the title of Colombas, los Reyes y Descubrimientos que hicieron por mar los Españoles desde fines del siglo XV. The third volume was published in 1829, and the fourth and fifth in 1837. Before the sixth and seventh could be published the author died in 1838. The work of Navarrete, already mentioned, has been described by Humboldt as "one of the most important historical monuments of modern times." The industrious compiler was also occupying at the time of his death in the publication of the Colleción de Documentos Loidas para la Historia de España. A Life of Cervantes by Navarrete, printed in 1810, Madrid, 1819, is said by Tschirner to be "one of the most judicious and best-arranged biographical works that have been published in any country." It furnished the materials for Thomas Roscoe's Life of the same author, published in 1830, London, 1836. Navarrete was also the author of several lesser historical and biographical works.
