DEAIII or MR. BATEMAN, THE ANIMAL PAINTER.
—Died, at his residence, 3. Eden-grove, Holloway, Mr.
James Bateman, the well-Imown animal painter. The
death of this accomplished artist will be much regretted
by the public, by whom his many and varied produc-
tions have always been
.so favourably received, and by
none more than the members of that profession of which
he was so unassuming and sterling an ornament. Second
to but one in that department of art in which be so
eminently excelled, his loss leaves a chasm in the ranks
of cur popular painters which will not be readily filled
up. After a long and severely painful affliction, borne
with unqualified patience and fortitude, he expired on
Saturday evening, March 24, in the 35th year of his age.
