chosen art I will venture to say nothing here； but of his
prodigious fertility of mind and wonderful wealth of intellect； I
may confidently assert that they would have made him； if he had
been so minded； at least as great a writer as he was a painter。
The gentlest and most modest of men； the freshest as to his
generous appreciation of young aspirants； and the frankest and
largest…hearted as to his peers； incapable of a sordid or ignoble
thought； gallantly sustaining the true dignity of his vocation；
without one grain of self…ambition； wholesomely natural at the last
as at the first； 〃in wit a man； simplicity a child；〃 no artist； of
whatsoever denomination； I make bold to say； ever went to his rest
leaving a golden memory more pure from dross； or having devoted
himself with a truer chivalry to the art goddess whom he
worshipped。
