BOUDEWYNS, Adriaan Fbans, not Anton Frans (Bauduins, or Baudouin), was bom at Brus- sels, in 1644 ; he studied under a landscape painter named Ignace van den Stock, and was received into the Guild there in 1665. He then studied under A. F. van der Meulen, and afterwards painted landscapes in an Italian manner, which Pieter Bout decorated with figures. The Dresden Gallery has ten of their joint productions, the Madrid Gallery nine, the UfEzi in Florence three, the Louvre one, and the Vienna Gallery has two, and they are also seen in the Galleries of Antwerp, Rotterdam, and Brunswick. The date of Boudewyns' death is not known for certain. Besides painting, Boudewyns devoted much of his time to en- graving. His plates are chiefly after the pictures or designs of Van der Meulen, and are etched in a bold, free style, producing a good efEect. His works are as follow

Six Landscapes, with Figures ; middle-sized pl.itcs. Six large Landscapes ; dedicated to Ph. de Cham- pagne. Eight Landscapes, with Buildings. Two Stag-hunts ; one dedicated to the Marquis de Louvois. A large Landscape, with the March of the King to Vincennes ; dedicated to Ch. le Brun.

BOUDIN, Eugene, a distinguished French marine painter. The son of a Honfieur pilot, he was from his infancy acquainted with the sea, and none of his fellow-artists could equal him in his renderings of its atmosphere and movement. He was a close student of nature, and exhibited first at the Salon in 1853, but it was not till 1881 that he was honoured with a medal of the third class, a second-class medal following in 1883. In 1889 he gained the gold medal, and was created knight of the Legion of Honour in 1892. Two of his best works are in the Luxembourg, namely, ' Une Corvette Russe ' and ' La Rade Villefranche.'

BOULANQER, Gustave Rodolphe Clarence, painter, was born in Paris, April 25, 1824. He began his art education at an early age, and when only fourteen was sent by an uncle to Africa, where he spent eight months making sketches, and where he seems to have imbibed his love for Oriental subjects. He became a pupil of Paul Delaroche and of Jolivet, and in 1849 gained the 'prix de Rome,' and remained in Italy till 1856. He devoted himself to Roman and Grecian archsological themes somewhat in the manner of Mr. Alma Tadema. In 1882 he was elected a member of the Institute, and was long a professor at the ficole des Beaux Arts. He married Madame Nathalie, of the Comddie Fran^ais. and to this theatre he presented a portrait of his wife, painted in 1867. He was also the author of a series of mural pictures in the Foyer de la Danse of the new Opera house in Paris, and of two in Prince Napoleon's Pompeian house in the Avenue Mon- taigne, the 'Flute Player' and the 'Wife of Diomed,' themes which he several times repeated. He died in Paris, September 22, 1888.

BOULANGER, Jean, though a native of Franca is better known in Italy than in his ovn country. He was born at Troyes in 1606, but went to Bologna when he was young, and entered the school of Guido Reni. Under that able instructor he acquired a correct and graceful mode of designing, and a tender and harmonious colouring. His merit re- commended him to the protection of the Duke of Modena, who appointed him painter to the court ; and he ornamented the ducal palace with several historical pictures, composed and painted in the elegant style of his master. He established an academy at Modena, and had many pupils. He died in 1660. In the Modena Gallery there are five works by him.
