Excerpt from A General Biographical Dictionary, Vol. 2 of 3Gandy (james) an able artist, was born in 1619, and wasa pupil of Vandyck. His works possess considerable merit, and some of his portraits are very little inferior to Van dyck, either in dignity, expression, or colour ing. He is however almost unknown, being taken to Ireland by the old duke of Ormond, and retained in his service, the then unsettled state of that country prevented his talents from receiving due notice. He died at Exeter in 1689. - Pilkington.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
