John Theodore Heins : ウィキペディア英語版 | John Theodore Heins John Theodore Heins (c.1697–1756) was a painter and engraver, probably of German birth, but active in Great Britain. He settled in Norwich and by 1720 was working on a series of portraits of members of prominent local families. ==Life== Heins was working in Norwich from around 1720. He is recorded as living in Hog Hill in the city in 1729 when he held a raffle, with three of his pictures as prizes. Some of his early works are signed "D. Heins"; the "D" is thought to stand for "Dietrich", the German form of "Theodore". In 1732 he was commissioned to execute the first of a number of portraits of Norwich civic dignitaries which can now be seen at Saint Andrew's Hall in the city.〔 He monopolised civic portraiture in Norwich until 1746,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/arts/yourpaintings/galleries/collections/norwich-civic-portrait-collection-931/foreword )〕 when Thomas Bardwell was commissioned by the city's artillery company to paint a portrait of William Crowe, who became mayor the following year.〔''General History of Norfolk'' 1829, p.1131〕 Heins painted two portraits of the Hanoverian composer and emigre to England, Handel. Some of his finest works were commissioned by the Astley family of Melton Constable, including one of a Musical Party,〔 and a double portrait of Edward and Blanche Astley, the children of Sir Jacob Astley, 3rd Bt. (1692 – 1760).〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.nationaltrustcollections.org.uk/object/1276710 )〕 Heins also depicted allegorical and historical subjects and candle-light scenes, and painted genre pieces, including two Scenes from the Life of Thomas Guy.〔http://www.answers.com/topic/john-hein〕 In October 1745, the ''Gentleman's Magazine'' published a poem called "Lines on seeing some portraits of the celebrated Mr. Heyns of Norwich".〔 It includes the lines: "In Fame's high temple shall forever live,/ Blessed in the immortality you give./ Had Homer never sung, long since had died, His country's bulwark, happiness, and pride,/ The god-like Hector; nor had Helen's charms/ Shone now, as when she fir'd the world to arms./ Had Heyns! thy pencil never canvas stain'd/Norwich, thy boasts had but a moment reign'd".〕
