BLUNCK, DiTLEv Conrad, who was bom at Breitenbur^. near Itzelioe, in 1799, studied from 1814 to 1827 in the Academy of Copenhagen, under Eckersberg. In 1828 he went to Rome, where he spent ten years, and was much influenced by the style of Carstens. On his return from Italy he lived at Vienna and at Hamburg, w^here he died in 1853. Among his best works are the following : Christian IV. at Rothenburg. 1823. Elijah raising the 'U'idow's Son to life. 1827. The Four Ages of Man. Manifestation of God to ' Th?l!^^ver'a?-his work- table. 1826. ; Noah in the Ark Thonealdsen Mu- Thorwaldsen with Danish V. um, Copenhagen. Artists in a Roman Inn. )

BLYHOOFT, Zachabias, a Dutch painter, of whom but little is known ; it is supposed that he lived at iliddelburg between 1625 and 1700. Two pictures by him are noticed in the Catalogues of Hoet and Tervvesten, and, in regard to their merit, compared to those of Netscher. For this reason he is noticed here, as many pictures are ascribed to Netscher that resemble his manner, but are not by him.
