[589] Émile Jean Horace Vernet (1789-1863), Director of the French School in Rome from 1827 to 1839. He painted mostly battle-pictures up to 1836; after that year, his works represented mainly scenes of Arab life.—T.

His works include a Raccolta di cinquante costumi pittoreschi incisi all'acqua forte (1809) and a Nuova raccolta di cinquante costumi pittoreschi incisi all'acqua forte (1815), 100 folio plates in all.

[598] Poussin and Claude Lorraine both died in Rome: the former on the 19th of November 1665, the latter on the 21st of November 1682.

We shall see later that Chateaubriand erected a monument to Nicolas Poussin in the Church of San-Lorenzo-in-Lucina.—B.
