To His Nephew, To Be Prosperous In His Art Of Painting.
By Robert Herrick
On, as thou hast begun, brave youth, and get
The palm from Urbin, Titian, Tintoret,
Brugel and Coxu, and the works outdo
Of Holbein and that mighty Rubens too.
So draw and paint as none may do the like,
No, not the glory of the world, Vandyke.
Extra Info:
Urbin, Raphael.
Brugel, Jan Breughel, Dutch landscape painter (1569-1625), or his
father or brother.
Coxu, Michael van Coxcie, Flemish painter (1497-1592).
To his nephew, to be prosperous in painting. This artistic nephew may have been a Wingfield, son of Mercy Herrick, who married John Wingfield, of Brantham, Suffolk; or one of three sons of Nicholas Herrick and Susanna Salter, or Thomas, or some unknown son of Thomas Herrick. There is no record of any painter Herrick's achievements.
