STANGE, Bernhard, painter, born at Dresden, July 24, 1807. He was intended for the profession of the law, and studied for a time at Leipsic University, but his admiration for Rottmann and Rahl caused him to devote himself to art. His first works were poetical landscapes, which had a great popularity in his native country. His ' Morning Bell,' in particular, had such success, that he repeated it twenty times. In 1849 he went to Venice, where he began moonlight scenes, for which he became famous. Later he painted many historical and genre pictures. He died in 1880 at Sindelsdorf, a village in the Bavarian Highlands to which he had retired. There are several of his pictures in the New Pinakothek, Munich, and one in the possession of Queen Victoria.

STANLEY, Caleb Robert, landscape painter, bom about 1790, studied in Italy and practised in London. He painted in oil and water-colours, and exhibited at the Academy from 1820 to 1863. He died in London in 1868. There are three of his landscapes in the South Kensington Museum.

STANLEY, Harold John, painter, was born at Lincoln in 1817. He studied at Munich under Kaulbach. In 1845 lie painted ' King Alfred Avith his Code of Laws.' He afterwards travelled and painted in Italy. For the ' Ludwig's Album' he made a series of drawings illustrating 'Some Years of an Artist's Life.' He died at Munich in 1867.

STANLEY, Montague, landscape painter, was bom at Dundee in 1809. Losing his father when young, he spent a wandering childhood with his mother, visiting New York, Nova Scotia, and Jamaica before he was ten years old. At the age of eight he played the part of ' Ariel,' and up to the year 1838 he followed the theatrical profession, in which he obtained a considerable reputation. From conscientious motives he quitted the stage and devoted himself to art, receiving instruction from J. W. Ewbank. He rapidly rose in public estimation, and was elected an Associate of the Scottish Academy. He died in the island of Bute in 1844.

STANNAKD, Alfred, a brother of Joseph Stannard, born at Norwich in 1806, where he died in 1889. He was connected with the Norwich School of Art, and liis landscapes represent local scenery almost exclusively, the very few exceptions being scenes painted in Holland. He was not as important as his brother Joseph, but his work is esteemed, and is marked by some poetic charm. He died in 1R89.

STANNARD, Alfred George, the son of Alfred Stannard, also a painter of landscapes, the date of whose birth was about 1864, and who died in 1885. He was trained by his father, and his works have considerable charm, and by some critics are con- sidered to exceed his father's in beauty.

STANNARD, Joseph, landscape and marine iiuinter, was born in 1797 at Norwich, where he j afterwards practised. He was a pupil of Robert Ladbrooke, and also studied for a time in Holland. He was a member of the Norwich Society of Artists. His works are chiefly coast and river scenes, with some portraits. He also published a set of etchings. he died in 1830. His most important picture was 'ine of the annual 'Water Frolic' at Thorpe, in which he introduced many portraits.

STANTON, Claek, born at Birmingham in 1832, was educated there, and studied at the Birmingham School of -Art. He early manifested a love of drawing and modelling, and, although destined for a business career, was allowed to follow his bent, and obtained employment as designer and modeller with the well-known firm of Elkington and Co., who sent him to Italy to study. In 1855 he came to Edinburgh, and in 1857 began to exhibit at the Royal Scottish Academy, sending ' The Ivy Wreath ' (a nude study) and some medallion portraits. He did many illustrations for the publishing firms of Nelson, Nimmo and Ballantyne, and produced many designs for cups, statuettes and plate for silversmiths. His work attracted much attention, and he was elected an Associate of the Royal Scottish Academy in 1862, becoming a full Academician in 1883. In 1881 he was appointed Curator of the Academy's Life School. His plastic work is marked by refinement rather than strength, and in reliefs he especially excelled. His oil and water-colour paintings, although somewhat conventional in style, are well drawn and pleasing in colour. His diploma work, ' Eurydice ' (a high relief in plaster), is in the Scottish National Gallery, and in the Glasgow Corporation Gallery hangs a water-colour ' Girl with Fruit.' He died in 1894. J.H.

STANTON, Tho.mas, landscape painter, born about the middle of the 18th century. He practised in London, painting views in which he generally introduced architecture. A 'View of Stonyhurst College' by him was engraved by Middiman.

STANZIONI, Massimo, painter, born at Naples in 1585, was a pupil of Giovanni Battista Caracciolo, but received some instruction in fresco from Belisario Corenzio. When Lanfranco visited Naples, Stanzioni profited by his lessons, and also by those of Fabrizio Santafede. He afterwards visited Rome, where he applied himself to study the works of Annibale Carracci, and formed an intimacy with Guido. On his return to Naples he displayed an ability that enabled him to compete with the ablest of his contemporaries. There existed between Stanzioni and Spagnoletto a jealousy and animosity which led the latter into the commission of a disgraceful piece of treachery.
