(Prosper Henry), a painter of considerable note, born in 1628, and educated in the school at Antwerp. He studied principally after Titian and Salvator Rosa; and met with encouragement in England suitable to his merit. His landscapes show a good invention, good colouring, and harmony: they are chiefly of rough rude country, with broken ground and uncommon scenery. He gave way too much to pleasure, and died in 1692.
