VERTUE, GEORGE (1684-1756), English engraver and antiquary, was
born in St Martins-in-the-Fields, London, in 1684. At the age of
thirteen he was apprenticed to an heraldic engraver, a Frenchman,
who failed in three or four years. Vertue then studied drawing at
home, and afterwards worked for seven years as an engraver under
Michael Vandergucht. He was patronized by Sir Godfrey Kneller, and
was one of the first members of the Academy of Painting which that
artist instituted in 1711. His plate of Archbishop Tillotson, after
Kneller, commissioned by Lord Somers, established his reputation as
an engraver; and he was soon in anexcellent practice, engraving
portraits after Dahl, Richardson, Jervas and Gibson. In portraiture
alone he executed over five hundred plates. In 1717 he was
appointed engraver to the Society of Antiquaries, and his bun. was
employed upon many interesting statues, tombs, portraits and other
subjects of an antiquarian nature. He died on the 24th of July
1756, and was buried in the cloisters of Westminster Abbey. From
the year 1713 Vertue had been indefatigable in his researches on
all matters connected with the history of British art, and had
accumulated about forty volumes of memoranda on the subject. These
were purchased by Horace Walpole, and form the basis of that

Vertues life and a catalogue of his engravings. Vertues own
