George Vertue (1684 – July 24, 1756) was an English engraver and antiquary, whose notebooks on British art of the first half of the 18th century are a valuable source for the period.
Famous quotes containing the word vertue:
“In her whole frame,
Have Nature all the Name,
Art and ornament the shame.
Her flattery,
Picture and Poesy,
Her counsell her owne vertue bee.”
—Richard Crashaw (1613?–1649)
