Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Life and Uncollected Poems of Thomas Flatman: A Thesis to the Faculty of the Graduate School in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy
Other activities beside poetry must have occupied him' for two of his extant miniatures are dated but two years later, 1661. N o mention has been found where and under whom Flatman studied the art of miniature painting, but from his own to our time his work has been highly commended and more than one critic has stated that his work is second only to that of Cooper the most noted miniature painter of his time. Some fifteen portraits of prominent persons of his time are still preserved in various collections in England.
