Arts

Lucas and Lisle are celebrated in two contemporary poems:

  • The Loyal Sacrifice, 8vo, 1648,
  • An Elegy on the Murder committed at Colchester upon Sir C. Lucas and Sir G. Lisle, 4to, 1648.

A portrait of Lucas, by Robert Walker, was in the possession of Lord Lyttelton in 1900. Engraved portraits are in Warburton's Prince Rupert and in the illustrated edition of Clarendon's Rebellion, said to be from a painting by William Dobson.

Famous quotes containing the word arts:

    “In the arts of life man invents nothing; but in the arts of death he outdoes Nature herself, and produces by chemistry and machinery all the slaughter of plague, pestilence, and famine.”
    —George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

    “Most arts require long study and application; but the most useful art of all, that of pleasing, requires only the desire.”
    —Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    “Self-expression is not enough; experiment is not enough; the recording of special moments or cases is not enough. All of the arts have broken faith or lost connection with their origin and function. They have ceased to be concerned with the legitimate and permanent material of art.”
    —Jane Heap (c. 1880–1964)
