THE LINNELS. 289 " severals " of Hampshire, ' and his * Between Tides/ are enough to remind us that we are islanders by birth, and that the sea being part of our inheritance, we awake to claim it, when we are presented with such a reminder of its restless waves and breezy skies as Hook can offer. John Linnel is the veteran head of a family of paint- ers. He was born in 1792, in London. He was a pupil of Benjamin West's, and of Varley's, and a fellow-pupil of William Hunt's. He began in his prof...ession by being a portrait and mxiniature painter, and by practising en graving, but gradually devoted his attention to landscape painting, in which he has won so honourable a name. He first exhibited a picture in the Royal Academy in 1807, when he was but fifteen years of age. The following year he gained the Royal Academy's premium of fifty pounds in a competition with Chalon. John Linnel's sons, J. T. Linnel, T. G. Linnel, and W. Linnel, have inherited largely their father's gifts, and the name of Linnel, in connection with land- scape painting, is not likely to die out in the land.
