Doolittle, which are believed to be the first
historical compositions by an American artist.

to America in 1786. Among his works are
a large picture of the Falls of Niagara, and
portraits of George III., Roger Sherman,
Judge Ellsworth, Colonel George Willis,
Dr. Dwight of Yale College, and Governor
Strong. His son, Augustus Earle, history
and marine painter, fellow-student at Royal
Academy in 1813 with C. R. Leslie and S.
F. B. Morse, was known from his roving

EUCHEIR, of Athens, mythic painter,
spoken of as the discoverer of painting in
Greece, and as related to Dædalus.—Pliny,
vii. 57 [205].
EUDORUS, scene-painter and statuary,
place and date unknown.—Pliny, xxxv. 40
[141].
EUMARUS, monochrome painter, of Athens,
latter part of 6th century B.C. Said to
have been the first to distinguish men from
women in his pictures by colour, by which
is meant, probably, that he painted the flesh
of the former of a reddish brown and that
of the latter white. Also said to have first
marked the differences in age between the
persons whom he painted. Painting in
Greece, up to his time on a level with that
in Assyria and Egypt, took with him the
first steps in the path of progress.—Pliny,
xxxv. 34 [55].
EUMELUS, painter, of Caria, probably
about A.D. 190. His picture of Helen was
in the Roman Forum.—Philost. Vita Sophist.,
ii. 5.
EUPHRANOR, one of the greatest of
Greek artists, of Corinth, Theban-Attic
school, pupil of Aristides of Thebes or of
his son and pupil Ariston, about 370–336
B.C. Master of all arts—painter, sculptor,
chaser of metals, and writer on symmetry
and colour (Pliny, xxxiv. 19; Quin., xii. 10,
6). He united the traditions of his Theban
master with those of the Sicyonic school,
and painted many famous works, both at
Corinth and at Athens. Upon one wall in
the Stoa Basilæus at Athens he painted
Theseus with personifications of Democracy
and the Demos, and upon the opposite one
the twelve great gods. There also he represented
a fight between the Athenian and
Bœotian cavalry at the battle of Mantinæa,
with portraits of Epaminondas and of Gryllus,
son of Xenophon (Paus. i. 3. 2, 3).
With reference to the first-named picture
Euphranor remarked that the Theseus of
Parrhasius had been fed on roses, but his
own on beef (Pliny, xxxv. 40). Some famous
pictures of his at Ephesus are also
mentioned: Ulysses in his feigned Madness,
yoking together an Ox and a Horse; and a
Warrior sheathing his Sword.
EUPOMPUS, a noted Greek painter, of
Sicyon, founder of the Sicyonic school, contemporary
and rival of Parrhasius and Timanthes,
about 400 B.C. (Pliny, xxv. 36 [61,
64, 75]). Before his time only two schools
of painting were recognized in Greece, the
Ionic (Asiatic) and the Attic (Hellenic).
We know the subject of but one of his
works, a winner in the Olympic games carrying
a palm of victory in his hand. This
picture was so marked in its individuality
that the painter was conceded to have founded
a third school, the Sicyonic, at the head of
which stands his scholar Pamphilus, the master
of Apelles.
EURIPIDES, painter and poet (485–406
B.C.). The great tragic poet was a painter

EYCK, HUBERT or HUYBRECHT
VAN, born at
Maaseyck after
1366, died in
Ghent Sept. 18,
1426. Flemish
school. There are
no authentic records
of his life
until 1424, when
he was living in
high repute as a
painter in Ghent.
The honour of
perfecting oil
painting, long known but hitherto undeveloped,
belongs to Hubert and his brother
Jan. They invented a colourless varnish
which could be applied with safety to oil
colours, and thus obviated the only impediment
to their use, namely, their excessive
slowness in drying, which had been before
met by the use of a varnish which darkened
many colours and was therefore objectionable.
Their new method was that of painting
with wet upon wet colour. The tints
were mixed with the drying medium upon
the palette, and then applied. Hubert’s
one certainly authentic work is that part of
33the great altarpiece in the Church of St.
Bavon (now St. John), Ghent—the Adoration
of the Lamb, which he painted for Jodocus
Vydt, a rich patrician of Ghent. The following
portions, as differing in drawing,
colouring, cast of drapery, and treatment
from the style of Jan, as recognized in his
other works, may be safely assigned to Hubert,
namely: the Almighty, the Virgin, St.
John the Baptist, from the upper inner
series, and the great picture of the Adoration
of the Lamb, being the central portion
of the lower series, in the Church of St. Bavon,
Ghent; St. Cecilia and Angels playing
on musical instruments, Berlin Museum;
both the upper outside wings, with Adam
and Eve, Brussels Museum. The side of
the centre picture with the Apostles and
Saints, and the wings with the hermits and
pilgrims, with the exception of the landscapes,
are also attributed to Hubert Van
Eyck. The altarpiece in its entirety is one
of the most wonderful works of art in the
world.—Biog. nat. de Belgique, vi. 775;

1848); Eastlake, Materials; Eisenman, The

EYCK, JAN VAN, born at Maaseyck
about 1381,
died in Bruges
July 9,
1440. Flemish
school.
Jan and his
elder brother
Hubert are
supposed to
have been
court-painters
to Philip
de Charolois,
afterwards Philip the Good, Duke of Burgundy,
who, with his wife, Michelle de
France, resided at Ghent between 1418 and
1421. In October, 1422, Jan entered the
service of Duke John of Bavaria as “painter
and varlet,” at The Hague, and after his
death (May 19, 1425) re-entered that of
Duke Philip in the same capacities. During
the next three years he lived at Lille,
whence he was sent by the Duke, Oct. 19,
1428, to Portugal, to paint the portrait of
his affianced bride, the Princess Isabel. At
Christmas, 1429, Jan returned to Flanders
with the Princess, and settled at Ghent to
complete the great altarpiece of the Adoration
of the Lamb, left unfinished by his
brother Hubert. Having accomplished this
work in 1432, he established himself at Bruges,
where, in consideration of his great
merit, the Duke exempted him from taxes,
and in 1434 honoured him by becoming
godfather to his daughter Lyennie. Authorities
differ as to what part of the great
altarpiece in the Cathedral of St. Bavon at
Ghent was painted by Jan after his brother’s
death. The question is the more difficult to
decide, as it is Hubert’s one authentic work.
Many pictures by Jan exist, and these when
compared with the altarpiece have led Woltmann
to conclude that only the paintings
on the outer shutters, Berlin Gallery, are
by him. They consist of the Annunciation
and the Prophets and Sibyls who foretold
the event, and of four figures in niches, two
of which in monochrome represent Gothic
statues of SS. John the Baptist and the
Evangelist, and two in colour, the kneeling
donors, Jodocus Vydt and his wife, Frau
Lisbet Barlut. To these as Jan’s work are
added in Kugler’s Handbook (Crowe) the
wing picture with the singing angels of the
upper series on the inner side, the side of
the centre picture of the Adoration of the
Lamb containing the Patriarchs and Prophets,
etc., and the entire landscape, the wing
with the soldiers of Christ and the Righteous
Judges, and the landscapes to the wing with
the hermits and pilgrims. Other works by
Jan are the Consecration of Thomas à Becket
34(dated Oct. 30, 1421), Chatsworth, England;
Seated Madonna (1432), Ince Hall, near
Liverpool, England; Burghley House Madonna,

FABIUS, CAIUS PICTOR, of the noble
Roman house of the Fabii, lived about
300 B.C. One of the few Roman painters
known to us. He decorated the Temple of
Salus (dedicated 302 B.C.) with a mural
painting representing a battle won by the
Dictator C. Junius Brutus Bubulcus over
the Samnites (Valer. Maximus, viii. 14, 6).
This is the earliest recorded Roman painting.
Fabius’s style was marked by simplicity
and absence of mannerism. An excellent
draughtsman, he combined in his work
the clear outlines of the Old Attic with the
rich colouring of the Theban Attic school.
On account of his eminence in his art his
surname, Pictor (Painter), was given to a
family of the Fabia gens, and borne by his
descendants.—Pliny, xxxv. 19.
FABRE, FRANÇOIS XAVIER, Baron,

and afterwards in Naples and Florence, where
he became a professor in the Academy and
is said to have secretly married the Countess
of Albany, after the death of Alfieri.
He returned in 1826 to Montpellier, and
founded there the École des Beaux Arts,
of which he became director. Medal, 1808;
L. of Honour, 1827; officer, 1829; created

FABRIANO, GENTILE DA, born at Fabriano
in 1370 (?), died in Rome in 1450 (?).
Umbrian school. Real name Gentile di Niccolò
di Giovanni Massi. Pupil probably of
Allegretto Nuzi, who died when Gentile was
fifteen years old; has been called both master
and pupil of Fra Angelico, but rather on account
of a certain superficial resemblance
between them than from any real affinity.
He left Fabriano some time before 1521 to
become court-painter to Pandolfo Malatesta,
for whom he decorated a chapel at Brescia.
Thence Gentile probably went to Venice to
paint a fresco of the battle between Doge
Ziani and Otho, son of Barbarossa, in the
Hall of the Grand Council, Palazzo Ducale,
destroyed by fire in 1574. Jacopo Bellini
was his pupil there and accompanied him in
1422 to Florence, where Gentile painted,
the next year, his most famous picture, the
Adoration of the Magi, now in the Academy,
a work which entitles him to be called the
Umbrian Fra Angelico. Like him, Gentile
paints in the spirit of the old school, with
the gay colouring of the early Umbrian
masters, the profuse use of gilt relief ornament,
and the somewhat formal system of
composition peculiar to the Florentines before
Masaccio; but pleasing and poetical as
the result is, Gentile shows in it none of the
deep mystical fervour of Angelico, and in
this more nearly resembles Benozzo Gozzoli
than his master. Among his other works
Gentile painted a charming fresco of the
Madonna at Orvieto (1426), being on his
way to Rome. He remained in the latter
city until his death, and executed many masterpieces
for Popes Martin V. and Eugenius
IV., which have all perished. Among his
other works are: Coronation of the Virgin
with Saints, and a predella with five subjects,
Brera, Milan; Virgin adoring the Infant
Jesus, hall of the Pia Casa, and Adoration
of the Magi, S. Domenico, Pisa; Virgin
enthroned with Saints and a Donor, Berlin

FALCONE, ANIELLO, called l’Oracolo
delle Bataglie, born in Naples in 1600, died
there in 1665. Neapolitan school, pupil of
Spagnoletto; became famous as a painter
of battle scenes, whose subjects were taken
from sacred and profane history, and from
the poets. During the insurrection of Masaniello,
he, with his pupils and partisans,
formed the Compagnia della Morte (Band
of Death), and massacred many Spaniards
in revenge for the death of a relative and
scholar killed by their soldiery. On the
death of Masaniello, Falcone fled to France
and painted in Paris until about 1656, when
he was permitted to return to Italy. In the
Naples Museum are interesting pictures by
him relating to the revolt of Masaniello, and
to the plague of 1656. Other works in the
Madrid Museum, and a Fight between Turks
and Cavalry, in the Louvre. Falcone was
the master of Salvator Rosa.—Lanzi, ii. 50;

FALCONER, ALGERIAN. See Algerian
Falconer.
FALCONNETTO, GIOVANNI MARIA,
born in Verona in 1458, died in Padua in
1534. Neapolitan school. He was more
noted in his time as an architect than as a
painter, and it has been said of him that he
was overrated as an architect and underrated
as a painter. The figures in some of
his early frescos are correct neither in action
nor in outline, and without style in
draperies; but his later pictures, especially
the religious allegories executed in 1509–16
for S. Pietro Martire, Verona, are less deformed
41by mannerism, and show affinity
with Liberale and Pisano. The last of his
life was devoted to architecture, chiefly at
Pavia.—C. & C., N. Italy, i. 469; Burckhardt,
606.

FARINATI, PAOLO, born in Verona in
1524, died in 1606. Venetian school. He
belonged to a famous Florentine family, the
Farinati degli Uberti, who in the 13th century
were at the head of the Ghibellines of
Florence. Dispersed by the Guelphs, a
branch of the family settled in Verona,
where Paolo became its most distinguished
member. His first master was Niccolò Giolfino,
on leaving whom he is said to have gone
to Venice to study Giorgione and Titian;
but his style resembles rather that of Giulio
Romano than that of either of those masters,
and it is certain that he spent some time in
Mantua, where he painted a St. Martin for
the chapel of the Sacrament in the Duomo.
Ten of his pictures are in the Museum at
Verona. In S. Maria in Organo are four,
of which the Massacre of the Innocents is
dated 1566, and in S. Anastasia two, one of
which, a Christ between SS. Peter and Paul,
is dated 1589. In S. Giorgio Maggiore is
the Multiplication of the Loaves, painted in
1603, when Paolo was seventy-nine years
old. Other examples of his work are in the
Duomo, in S. Giovanni in Fonte, in S. Pietro
in Monasterio, in S. Tommaso, in S.
Nazzaro e Celso, and in the Palazzi Carlotti,
Serego, and Murari. Farinati painted much
in fresco. His son and pupil, Orazio, was
also a history painter; works in S. Paolo, S.
M. del Paradiso,
and S. Stefano,

FERRAMOLA, FLORIANO (Fioravante),
born latter half 15th century, died in Brescia,
July 3, 1528. Venetian school. While
Brescia was being sacked by Gaston de
Foix (1512) he worked on regardless of the
assault until he was surprised by the plunderers
at his easel. Gaston compensated
him for his losses and ordered a portrait of
himself. Among Ferramola’s few extant
pictures, frescos, dated 1514, and parts of
an organ screen (1518) in S. M. di Lovere,
frescos in Casa Borgondio, Brescia, and a
Christ carrying his Cross in the Tosi Collection,
Brescia, are characteristic specimens.
They show that he was educated under the
influence of Foppa, Costa, and Francia, and
hardly suggest that he was a contemporary
of Titian and Pordenone.—C. & C., N. Italy,
ii. 362; Vasari, xi. 263, N. 2.; Lübke, Gesch.

FERRARI, GAUDENZIO, born at Valduggia
in 1481, died in Milan in 1546 or
1547. Lombard-Milanese school. Called
by Vasari Gaudenzio Milanese; asserted
pupil of Stefano Scotto, Girolamo Giovenone,
and Perugino, whose influence is unmistakable
in Gaudenzio’s fine altarpiece
(1514–15) in S. Gaudenzio, Novara. Affected
also by Raphael, whose fellow-student
he had been, and by Leonardo da Vinci, his
later style acquired life and energy. He
had considerable power of expression, and
used colour harmoniously, especially in his
frescos, but he was at times capricious
and extravagant, and his compositions are
often overcrowded and wanting in beauty
of arrangement. He painted many works
at Varallo, in 1504, 1513, 1524, and 1531,
the earliest of which are in S. M. di Loreto,
and S. Marco, the best in S. M. delle Grazie,
where he decorated the choir with scenes
from the Passion, and painted the Presentation
in the Temple, Christ among the
Doctors, and other subjects in chapels at
the Sacro Monte. In 1516 he went to Rome
and is said to have worked in the Farnesina
with Raphael, after whose death he was associated
with Giulio Romano and Perino del
Vaga. Other frescos by Ferrari may be seen
in the Brera, Milan, and in the Pilgrims’
Church at Saronno, where he painted in
1534, as also a Flagellation in S. M. delle
Grazie, Milan. His last fresco (1542) is in
S. Giuliano, on an island in the Lago d’Orta.
Among his pictures are the Baptism of Christ,
S. Celso, Milan; Martyrdom of S. Catherine,
Brera, Milan; Christ bearing the Cross, Canobbio;

Venice, his Madonna (1436) in the Venice
Academy, and a large picture in the Sacristy
of the Duomo at Ceneda, are fair specimens

FIORENZO DI LORENZO, born at Perugia
about 1440–50, died after 1521. Umbrian
school, probably a pupil of Benedetto
Bonfigli. In 1472 he contracted to paint an
Assumption of the Virgin, the principal
parts of which are now in the Perugia
Academy. Though the figures are of common
type and the action is broken and exaggerated,
the drawing is good and the execution
careful. The influence of Perugino
upon Fiorenzo shows itself in a fresco (1475)
of the Eternal in a circular glory between
Saints, in S. Francesco of Diruta, one of the
most important wall-paintings recovered in
our day. There are other pictures by him
in the Perugia Academy; a Madonna on a
gold ground, dated 1481, Berlin Museum;
Madonna, S. Giacomo, Assisi; Altarpiece
(1485), S. Francesco, Terni; Head of Christ
and Saints, Madrid Museum.—C. & C., Italy,

one of the most beautiful by the painter, has
a cascade in the middleground, which forms
a rivulet crossed by a bridge; in background,
a city and mountains. Other figures, besides

of Isis, by priests, by a Roman officer
in a chariot, and by the sacred bull Apis.
In the foreground, near the Holy Family,
are a young lover fastening an amulet around
the neck of his betrothed, a negro carrying
for sale a tray of Egyptian gods, and a
mother holding in her arms a sick child,
before whose unconscious face three girls
and a negro girl-slave hold up images of

FLINCK, GOVAERT, born at Cleves,
Jan. 25, 1615,
died in Amsterdam,
Feb. 2, 1660.
Dutch school;
history and portrait
painter, pupil
of Lambert
Jacobzen at Leeuwarden,
then of
Rembrandt, under
whom his
talent developed
so rapidly that after one year his pictures
could scarcely be distinguished from those
of the master. He left Rembrandt in 1638,
and took the freedom of Amsterdam in 1652.
After Eeckhout, he was the scholar who approached
nearest to Rembrandt. His best
pictures are of the period 1640–50; later,
having studied the old Italian masters, he
aimed at precision of form rather than at
66chiaroscuro effects, and lost ground. He
enjoyed the favour of the Elector William
of Brandenburg, and of Prince Maurice of
Nassau, for whom he executed many pictures.

FOPPA, VINCENZO, the elder, born at
Foppa, province of Pavia, died in Brescia in
1492. Lombard school; a disciple probably
of Squarcione, but nothing known of him
before his engagement in Milan in 1456,
when he called himself a citizen of Brescia.
In 1461 he was in Pavia, where he painted
in 1462 frescos in the Carmine, and in 1465
a chapel in the Certosa. At a later date he
worked in Savona and in Brescia. His
earlier pictures show the prominent characteristics
of the Paduan school, but in the
course of years he shook off Mantegnesque
peculiarities and gained the mastery which
comes from long practice. Among his best
extant works are the St. Sebastian, Brera,
Milan, and the altarpiece in six panels in S.
71M. di Castello, Savona, dated 1489. Other
examples are: Adoration of the Magi, National
Gallery, London, ascribed to Bartolommeo
Suardi, and frescos in the Carmine,

FRANCESCA DA RIMINI, Alexandre
Cabanel. See Paolo and Francesca.
By Dominique Ingres, Angers Museum;
canvas. Illustration of the mediæval story
of Francesca da Rimini, as related by Dante
and Boccaccio. Francesca, the wife of Giovanni
Malatesta, called from his lameness
from birth Gianciotto (commonly made into
Lancelotto), fell in love with her handsome
brother-in-law, Paolo Malatesta, a liaison
which ended in the death of the two at the
hands of the enraged Gianciotto. In the
picture the couple are represented as just
having finished reading the story of Lancelot
and Guinevere. The book has fallen from
Francesca’s hands; Paolo, bending forward,
gives her the fatal kiss, and Lanciotto, lifting
the drapery, advances with drawn sword to
take his revenge. Painted in Rome in 1819;
bought by M. Turpin de Crissée, who bequeathed
it to Angers Museum. Original
sketch, Mme. Montett-Gilibert. Lithographed
by A. Lecomte, 1834. Replica
painted by Ingres for Prince Salerno, Naples.—Larousse,
xiii. 1218.
By Ary Scheffer, Sir Richard Wallace,
Manchester House; canvas (Dante, Inferno).
Salon of 1835, under title: Dante and Virgil
encountering in Hell the Spirits of Francesca
da Rimini and Paolo. Francesca, her
eyes closed, her hair dishevelled, hangs tenderly
on the neck of Paolo as they float
through the air, while the two poets contemplate
the touching scene in silence.
Painted for Duc d’Orléans; bought in 1853
by Prince Demidoff for 43,000 fr.; Demidoff
sale (1870) to Lord Hertford for 100,000 fr.
Engraved by Calamatta; etched by Veyrasset.

1859, owned by Mme. Marjolin, the artist’s
daughter.—Larousse, xiii. 1218.
By George Frederick Watts, London;
canvas, H. 5 ft. × 4 ft. 1 in. Francesca and
Paolo, phantoms pale and death-like, clasped
in a loving embrace, are swept onward before
the wind against a background of clouds
and fiery rain. Painted in 1879. Exhibited
in New York in 1884.
FRANCESCA, PIERO DELLA, born at
Borgo San Sepolcro
in 1416 (?), died
there, Oct. 12, 1492.
Umbrian school.
Real name Pietro di
Benedetto degli
Franceschi; first
master unknown. In
1439 he assisted Domenico
Veneziano
in painting the frescos
in S. M. Nuova,
Florence, where he was brought into contact
with many eminent painters, and laid
the foundation of his great scientific knowledge
of linear and aerial perspective. In
the projection of shadows, the perfecting of
mediums for oil painting, the delineation
of architecture in backgrounds, and the
correct balance of light and shade, he had
few rivals. So perfect was his rendering
of nature, that had he been guided by a
80principle of selection in form, he would
have ranked with the greatest Italian painters.
Between 1447 and 1452 Piero worked
at Loreto, and at Rimini for Sigismond Pandolfo
Malatesta, for whom he painted, in the
Chapel of the Relics, S. Francesco kneeling
before his patron saint, with two couchant
greyhounds at his heels. The fresco, dated
1451, is an admirable piece of quattrocento
work. We next find Piero at Arezzo painting
the Legend of the Cross around the
choir of S. Francesco, between 1453 and
1454, and then at Borgo San Sepolcro, employed
upon an altarpiece on panel for the
Confraternity of the Misericordia, which
still exists in the Church of the Hospital,
formerly occupied by the Brothers. Other
works by this painter in his native town are
a fresco of the Resurrection, in the Monte
Pio, and another of St. Louis (1460), in the
Municipal Palace. His Baptism of Christ,
National Gallery, London, is pure in outline,
and, like all his works, most carefully elaborated
in every detail. In same gallery are
a Nativity, portrait of Isotta da Rimini, and
portrait of a Lady. In 1469 Piero went to
Urbino, where he painted a Flagellation,
now in the Cathedral, and an Apotheosis,
with portraits of the Duke and his wife,
Battista Sforza. The well-known profile
portraits of this same ducal pair, in the
Uffizi Gallery, are masterpieces of their
kind, painted about 1472. Piero was the
author of a highly esteemed Treatise on
Perspective, the MS. of which belongs to the
Saibanti Library, Verona.—Vasari, ed. Mil.,

FRANCESCHI, PAOLO (Paul Franchoys,
Francesco Paolo de’ Freschi, Paolo Fiammingo),
born at Antwerp in 1540, died in
Venice in 1596. Flemish-Venetian school;
landscape, animal, history, and portrait
painter, pupil and assistant of Tintoretto in
Venice, whither he went when very young,
and where he acquired reputation as one
of the best landscape painters of the time.
By order of the Venetian Senate he painted
the large picture in the Ducal Palace, and
for the Emperor Rudolph II. two Allegories.

FRANCESCHINI, MARCANTONIO, Cavaliere,
born at Bologna
in 1648, died there

whose assistant he became.
Called to Genoa,
in 1702, to decorate
the Hall of Public
Counsel with pictures
on the history of the
Republic (destroyed by fire in 1777); invited
to Rome by Pope Clement XI., in 1711, to
Genoa in 1714, and to Crema in 1716, to
execute fresco paintings. He was the head

FRANCIA, FRANCESCO, born in Bologna
in 1450, died there, Jan. 5, 1517.
Bolognese
school. Real
name Francesco
di Marco di
Giacomo Raibolini;
son of
poor parents,
apprenticed to a
goldsmith, matriculated
in
1482, became
steward of the
guild in 1483, and afterwards Master of the
Mint under Bentivoglio. He was painter, engraver,
and medallist, as well as goldsmith.
His master was Lorenzo Costa, but he may
have studied under Marco Zoppo. His
Madonna, Berlin Museum, and his St.
Stephen, Palazzo Borghese, Rome, are examples
of his pre-Peruginesque manner,
which show the hand of the goldsmith
trained to careful finish and precision. In
1490 Francia had become the ablest draughtsman
and master of composition in North
Italy. An Umbrian character, derived from
the study of Perugino’s works, shows itself
from this time; as in his fine Madonna
with Saints, Nativity (1499), Madonna of St.
George, Annunciation (1500), Bologna Gallery;
Madonna with Angels and Saints (1499),
S. Jacopo Maggiore, Bologna; Madonna
with St. Joseph, Dudley Gallery, London;
The Deposition, Parma Gallery; Madonna
with Angels (doubtful), Madonna in Adoration,
Old Pinakothek, Munich; Madonna
with Saints (1502), Holy Family, Berlin Museum;
Madonna, do. with Saints and Angels,
Hermitage, St. Petersburg. Francia’s
third manner, uniting Umbrian softness
with Florentine energy and power, was influenced
by Raphael, whom he may have
seen in 1505 or 1506 at Bologna, with whom
he corresponded, and for whom he had
a deep admiration. His portraits show a
gradual change from the style of Perugino
to that of Raphael, and the frescos by Francia
(1509) in S. Cecilia, Bologna, are Raphaelesque.
Other works are: Coronation
of the Virgin, Duomo, Ferrara; Annunciation,
Brera, Milan; do., Gallery Estense,
Modena; Assumption, S. Frediano, Lucca;
Pietà, Virgin enthroned with Saints, and
Madonna with Saints, National Gallery, London;

FRANCIA, GIACOMO DI FRANCESCO,
born before 1486, died in 1557. Bolognese
school. Was the most noted, as a painter,
of Francesco Francia’s sons. In the fresco
of the Baptism of St. Valerian, Oratory of
S. Cecilia, Bologna, by Giacomo, the figures
are lifeless, coarse in outline, and of short
proportions. His Martyrdom of St. Cecilia,
ib., was probably painted after his father’s
design. Other works by Giacomo are:
Christ on the Cross adored by Saints, Madonna
with Saints (1526), Saints and the
Painter, Bologna Gallery; Angels, S. Petronius,
Bologna;
Virgin
Enthroned,
Florence Academy; Virgin and Saints (1544),

FRANCIA, GIOVAMBATTISTA, born
June 13, 1533, died May 13, 1575. Bolognese
school. Son of Giulio and grandson of
Francesco Francia; a poor painter, though
a rich man, none of whose works can be
authenticated. Many inferior pictures which
pass under the name of his grandfather,
Francesco Francia, may safely be attributed
to him.—C. & C., N. Italy, i. 574; Vasari,
ed. Mil., iii. 558.
FRANCIA, GIULIO DI FRANCESCO,
born in Bologna (?), Aug. 20, 1487, died (?)
83Bolognese school, son of Francesco Francia.
The St. Margaret and the Dragon, signed
and dated July 10, 1518, in the church of
the Almo Collegio di Spagna, Bologna, is a
joint work of Giulio and Giacomo. The
only picture by Giulio alone is a Descent of
the Holy Ghost, Bologna Gallery.—C. & C.,
N. Italy, i. 574; Vasari, ed. Mil., iii. 558;
Gualandi, 64.

pictures of Velvet Brueghel, Neefs the elder,
and Josse de Momper. His various modes
of signature have caused the greatest difficulties
in attributing certain works to him

certain that in his father’s lifetime he signed
“den jon. F. F.,” after the death of the elder
Frans (1616) signed his name without addition,
occasionally prefixed “Do., Ds.” (Don,
Dominus?), but also still “Den jon.,” and
after 1630, “D., Do.,” or “D’ouden” (the
elder), as then his son, Frans III., may have
begun to work independently. He is the

FUNGAI, BERNARDINO, born about
1460, died in 1516. Sienese school; pupil
of Benvenuto di Giovanni or of Matteo da
Siena; was associated with Giacomo Pacchiarotti
and influenced by Pinturicchio.
He was one of the last representatives of
the old school. In his Coronation of the
Virgin (1500?) in S. M. de’ Servi, the figures
are rigid, awkward in movement, and
stiffly draped. His Madonna and Saints
(1512) in the Carmine, Siena, is better proportioned,
though less characteristic than
the Coronation in Church of the Madonna
di Fontegiusta, Siena, and the Assumption
in the Siena Academy. His best and perhaps
his latest work is a Christ between SS.
Francis and Jerome in the same gallery, a
weak, rosy-coloured picture, carefully and
flatly treated.—C. & C., Italy, iii. 372; Vasari,
ed. Le Mon., xi. 173; Burckhardt, 685;

FURINI, FRANCESCO, born in Florence
about 1600, died there in 1649. Florentine
school; pupil of his father, Filippo Furini,
and successively of Passignano, Bilevelt,
and Matteo Rosselli. Afterwards studied
works of Guido in Rome. On return to
Florence won considerable reputation for
painting the nude, generally choosing subjects
in which he could introduce the forms
of women and children. His flesh tints are
very mellow and tender. Among his works
are, Magdalen in the Desert, Siena Academy;
do. (2), Vienna Museum; Daughters of Lot,
Madrid Museum; Venus
and Adonis, Buda-Pesth
Gallery; Creation
of Eve, Palazzo
Pitti, Florence; Birth
of Cyrus, New York Museum.—Ch. Blanc,

Berlin in 1810. Genre and portrait painter,
pupil of Wach in 1829–32, and then of the
Düsseldorf Academy. In 1846 he was appointed
teacher of drawing in the Realschule
at Treves. His genre pieces and portraits
are remarkable for truth to nature and finish.
Works: Fortune-Teller; Return from the
Kirmess; Father’s Friend; The Widow.
FURTMEYR, PERCHTOLD, flourished
in Ratisbon, 1470–1501, died about 1502.

(1470–72), and a missal (1481, for Archbishop
Bernhard of Salzburg), Court Library,

FUSELI (Fuessli), HENRY (Heinrich),
born in Zürich,
Feb. 7,
1741, died in
London, April
16, 1825. History
painter
and writer on
art, son of Johann
Caspar
Fuessli (1707–81),
portrait
and landscape
painter of Zürich; took holy orders after
graduating from Zürich University (1761),
left on account of some theological dispute
in 1763, and after wandering through Germany,
where he supported himself by making
translations, went to England in 1765,
and in 1767 adopted painting as his profession,
by the advice of Sir Joshua Reynolds.
Three years later he went to Italy, and resided
there from 1770 to 1779, studying
Michelangelo especially, and forming a fantastic
style which also betrays the influence
of Goltzius and Spranger. After his return
to London he attracted attention by a picture
called The Nightmare (1782). From
the year 1774 to 1825 he exhibited sixty-nine
pictures and drawings at the Royal
Academy. In 1788 he was elected an A.R.A.
and in 1790 R.A.; was made professor in
1799, and keeper in 1805. A fantastic and
prolific designer rather than a painter, he
had neither the judgment to control, nor
the technical knowledge to adequately represent,
the fancies of his powerful but ill-regulated
imagination. His literary abilities
were of no mean order, and the lectures
which he delivered at the Royal Academy
give evidence of thought, study, and critical
acumen, and are remarkable as specimens
of English writing by a foreigner. Works:
Ugolino and his Sons; Celadon and Amelia;
Romeo and Juliet; Lady Macbeth; Francesca
and Paolo; An Incantation; Hercules
and Theseus.—Redgrave; Sandby, i. 205;

FYOLL, KONRAD, flourished in Frankfort
in 1466–98. German school; son
and probably pupil of Sebald Fyoll, whose
name appears in Frankfort documents in
1439–62 as having executed wall-paintings.
The pictures in the Städel Gallery
under the name of Konrad are not authenticated.—Schnaase,
viii. 377; W. & W., ii.

in 1617, died in 1706. Neapolitan
school; portrait painter, pupil of Antonio
Rücci; afterward, in Rome, of Pietro da
Cortona, and for nine years in Venice of
Maroli; returned to Messina, where he remained
till the revolution in 1674 compelled
him to leave Sicily, when he went to Padua.
102His best works are in the Church of San
Francesco di Paola, Messina, and in the Palazzo
Borromeo, Padua.
GABRON, GUILIAM (Willem), born at
Antwerp, Oct. 28, 1619, died there, Aug.

GADDI, AGNOLO, died in Florence,
Oct., 1396. Florentine school; son and
pupil of Taddeo Gaddi, and like him a follower
of Giotto. His early labours were in
the church of S. Jacopo tra’ Fossi, Florence,
where the Raising of Lazarus was treated,
according to Vasari, in an exceedingly realistic
manner; but he must have changed his
style, as there are no traces of such realism
in his later frescos. Those in the parish
church of Prato (1365), a double series, at
the ends of a central aisle, representing the
legends of the Virgin and the sacred girdle,
are the best and probably the earliest of his
works. In them he was evidently guided
by Giotto’s maxims in regard to the composition,
and they are more perfect in balance
and therefore more pleasing than any of
Taddeo’s. The figures also have more repose
and dignity, and more nature and individuality.
The drawing is free and bold,
though not always correct, and the colouring
bright, clear, light, and transparent in its
tones. But, though superior to Taddeo,
Agnolo was inferior to Orcagna, and art in
his hands had somewhat degenerated and
become decorative. Other examples of Agnolo’s
work are eight frescos of the legend
of the Cross, in the choir of S. Croce, Florence;
and a Madonna, Angels, and Saints,
Florence Academy; Annunciation, Uffizi,
Florence; do., Louvre.—C. & C., Italy, i.
463; Lübke, Gesch. ital. Mal., i. 148; Vasari,
ed. Le Mon., ii. 150; Seguier, 79; Baldinucci,
i. 225; W. & W., i. 455.
GADDI, GADDO, born in 1239, died in
1312. Florentine school. An intimate friend
of Cimabue, whom he survived twelve years.
He laid the foundation of a fortune which
raised his family to the highest social distinction.
According to Vasari, he executed
mosaics in the Baptistery, and in S. Maria
del Fiore, Florence. In 1308 he was invited
by Clement V. to Rome, and certain
mosaics in S. Maria Maggiore are assigned
to him. They are more modern in style
than Rusutti’s mosaic in the same church,
and mark the transition between Cimabue
and Giotto. Vasari says that he painted
many easel pictures, and he probably took
part in the decoration of the upper church
of Assisi.—C. & C., Italy, i. 229; Vasari,
ed. Mil., i. 345; Baldinucci, i. 89.
GADDI, TADDEO, born about 1300,
died after 1366. Florentine
school; son and
pupil of Gaddo Gaddi,
and godson and disciple
of Giotto, with
whom he worked
twenty-four years.
After the death of his
master he was considered
the first in his
art, which, however,
but dimly reflected that of Giotto. His
artistic career began when Giotto went to
Naples, at which time (1352–56) he painted
the frescos of the legend of the Virgin
assigned to him in the Baroncelli chapel in
S. Croce, Florence. These show that he had
little fancy, and that his execution was rapid,
decorative, and conventional. Remains of
other frescos by him are in S. Francesco,
Pisa. A Madonna with Donors and Saints,
103Berlin Museum, is signed and dated 1334;
and a Virgin Enthroned with six Angels,
Siena Gallery, is dated 1355. Two small
panels, Berlin Museum, part of a series of
which twelve more are in the Florence
Academy, though ascribed to Giotto and designed
by him, are evidently painted by
Taddeo. The Baptism of Christ, and Sixteen
Saints, National Gallery, London, belong
to this painter’s school, and the predella
of an altarpiece, three subjects, Louvre, is
attributable to him. Taddeo was also an
architect, and designed the Ponte Vecchio
and the Ponte
a S. Trinità.—C.& C.,
Italy, i. 354;

GAINSBOROUGH, THOMAS, born at
Sudbury, Suffolk,
baptised May 14,
1727, died in London,
Aug. 2, 1788,
British school;
went to London in
1741, and became
a pupil of Gravelot,
the French engraver;
then of Francis
Hayman, with
whom he studied drawing. After an unsuccessful
struggle as a portrait and landscape
painter in London, he returned home
in 1744 or 1745, and in 1760 settled in
Bath, where he devoted himself chiefly to
portraiture; in 1774 he went again to London,
and won such a reputation that he was
considered the rival of Reynolds in portrait,
and of Wilson in landscape, painting. In
1766 he became a member of the Society of
Artists, and he was one of the foundation
members (1768) of the Royal Academy. Sir
Joshua Reynolds observes of him: “Whether
he most excelled in portraits, landscapes, or
fancy pictures, it is difficult to determine,”
and Ruskin calls him “the purest colourist
of the English school.” His pictures command
high prices. Works: Market Cart,

GALASSI, GALASSO, born in
first half of 15th century, dead in
1473. Lombard school; son of a
tailor and master-painter of Ferrara.
Name appears in 1450–53 in
account books of house of Este,
where he is called Maestro Galasso
de Matheo Calegaro, in connection
with the decoration of the palace of
Belriguardo. In 1455 he composed
the Assumption and finished a portrait of
Cardinal Bessarion in Santa Maria in Monte,
Bologna. Vasari says he went to Venice and
acquired there the use of oils, but it is doubtful
if he ever used them. Much more has
been made of him than he deserves. His
pictures show bad drawing, affected or spasmodic
action, and skinny flesh. Examples:
Trinity, Ferrara Museum; Entombment, and
Virgin with Saint and Donor, Costabili Collection,
Ferrara.—C. & C., N. Italy, i. 514;

fourth, half hidden in clouds, is preparing
his darts. Painted in 1514 for Agostino
Chigi, owner of the Palazzo Chigi (now Farnesina).

GAROFALO, IL, born in Ferrara in 1481,
died there, Sept. 6, 1559. Lombard-Ferrarese
school. Real name Benvenuto di
Piero Tisi, but called Garofalo (Gilliflower)
from his use of that flower as a device.
Pupil of Domenico Panetti, of Niccolò Soriani,
and of Boccacini, from whose studio he
ran away to Rome (1499) and studied about
a year under Giovanni Barrini. In 1502 he
was in Mantua, where he must have remained
four years if, as Vasari says, he studied with
Lorenzo Costa, who entered the service of
the Gonzagas in 1506. In 1508 he went
again to Rome and became intimate with
Raphael. Later he worked at Ferrara for
Duke Alfonso, in whose palace (Scrofa Calcagnini)
he decorated a hall with mythological
subjects. Other pictures in Ferrara:
Old and New Testament, Adoration of the
Magi (1537), Christ in the Garden, Massacre
of the Innocents, Madonna del Pilastro, Madonna
111with Saints, Madonna del Riposo,
Raising of Lazarus, St. Peter Martyr, Discovery
of the Cross, Municipal Gallery; and
several in the Duomo. Works in other

of Magi, Deposition, Naples Museum;

Venus, Neptune and Pallas, Madonna in
Adoration, Dresden Gallery; Holy Family,
Vatican, Rome. The pictures of Garofalo
are almost always pleasing. He was a good
draughtsman and colourist, though sometimes
a little too vivid in his reds and
greens for perfect harmony of effect. According
to Vasari he was totally blind during
the last
nine years
of his life.—Vasari,

GATTA, Don BARTOLOMMEO DELLA,
born about 1408, died in Arezzo in 1491.
Florentine school. Learned miniature
painting in the Camaldolensian Convent of
the Angeli, Florence, where he was a friar;
became abbot of the Convent of S. Clemente,
Arezzo, and decorated its walls with frescos,
now destroyed. Some panels by him in the
public gallery, Arezzo, one dated 1479, show
careful and patient execution, but little sense
of colour. In 1479–86 he was in Rome,
where he worked in the Sistine, according
113to Vasari, with Signorelli and Perugino.
His later pictures, as, for instance, a Madonna
with Saints and Angels, in the Collegiate
church at Castiglione Fiorentino,
display little power, though they show that
he had learned to imitate Signorelli.—C. &
C., Italy, iii. 36; Vasari, ed. Le Mon., v. 44;

GATTI, BERNARDO (Bernardino), born

Lombard school; called Il Sojaro or Sogliaro
(the cooper) from his father’s trade.
Went early to Parma to study under Correggio,
and became his ablest pupil. He
left numerous works in Parma, Piacenza,
and Cremona. In S. M. di Campagna, Piacenza,
he painted a fresco, St. George and
the Dragon, in competition with Pordenone’s
St. Augustine, and on the death of that
painter was selected to finish his frescos of
the Life of the Madonna, in the tribune
of the church. Lanzi praises his Miracle of
the Loaves and Fishes, in the refectory
of the Padri Lateranensi, Cremona; it is
dated 1552. He afterwards (about 1560)
painted the cupola in the Madonna della
Steccata, Parma. His Assumption of the
Virgin, in the Cathedral of Cremona, his
last work, is said to have been painted
with his left hand, his right having been
paralyzed. An Ecce Homo, and a Crucifixion,
are in the Naples Museum.—Vasari,

Gatti, from whom he inherited his

of Correggio, and painted some pictures
with much success; but he had a deplorable
facility of execution, and his works are very
unequal. Lanzi conjectures that Uriel Gatti,
also called Il Sojaro, was his brother.—Lanzi,

of England, was, according to the legend, a
tribune in the army in the time of Diocletian.
When on the way to join his legion,
he overcame a terrible dragon, near Selene,
in Libya (or Berytus, Syria, according to
another account), and rescued the king’s
daughter, Cleodolinda, who was about to
be sacrificed to appease the beast. St.
George suffered martyrdom in the persecution
of Diocletian. The combat with the
dragon has been illustrated by nearly all
the great painters.

GÉRICAULT, JEAN LOUIS ANDRÉ
THÉODORE,
born at Rouen,
Sept. 26, 1791,
died in Paris,
Jan. 18, 1824.
History and animal
painter, pupil
of Carle Vernet
and of Guérin.
In 1817,
after serving in
the army three
years, he went to Italy and studied in Rome
and Florence. His Raft of the Medusa
(1819, Louvre) was loudly denounced by
the critics on account of its bold realism;
but its exhibition in London brought the
painter 20,000 francs and on his return to
Paris a gold medal. He executed afterwards
many studies in crayon and water-colour,
128colour, and many lithographs; also modelled
for sculpture. Works: Raft of the
Medusa (1819), Officer of the Imperial Guard
Charging (1812), Wounded Cuirassier Retreating
(1814), The Derby at Epsom (1821),
A Carbineer, The Plaster Kiln, Turkish Horse

ix. 72.
GERINI, LORENZO, Florentine school,
beginning of 15th century. Son of Niccolò
Gerini and equally mediocre. A fair painter
among the third-rates, and of considerable
practice. His most important work is the
Coronation of the Virgin, an altarpiece with
predella, painted in 1440, in S. Domenico,
Cortona.—C. & C., Italy, ii. 23.
GERINI, NICCOLÒ DI PIETRO, Florentine
school, 14th century, died after 1401.
He was a careful and diligent painter, but
in colour wanting force and fusion. In his
frescos he continued the school of Taddeo
Gaddi, but, as compared with Agnolo Gaddi
and Spinello, his painting is lifeless and
third-rate. His earliest and most important
work is a series of frescos in the Convent of
S. Francesco, Pisa, dated 1392.—C. & C.,
Italy, ii. 19; Lübke, Gesch. ital. Mal., i.
151; Vasari, ed. Le Mon., ii. 197, N. 1.
GERINO DA PISTOJA, Umbrian school
(1502–29). Vasari says he was a friend of
Pinturicchio, a diligent colourist, and a follower
of Perugino. His Virgin of Succour
(1502) in S. Agostino, Borgo S. Sepolcro,
shows that he was a fair copyist of his master
when he painted it. His Madonna and
Saints (1509), S. Pietro Maggiore, Pistoja,
is a mixture of Perugino, Pinturicchio, and
Raphael. He grew feeble later; his Madonna
and Saints (1529), Uffizi, Florence,
is gray and dull, with none of his early richness
of tint.—C. & C., Italy, iii. 349; Ch.
Blanc, École ombrienne; Vasari, ed. Le
Mon., v. 276.
GERMANICUS, TRIUMPH OF, Karl
von Piloty, Munich Gallery; canvas, H. 17
ft. 8 in. × 24 ft. 6 in. Triumphal entry into
Rome accorded by Tiberius to Germanicus,
A.D. 17, after his victory over the Germans
on the Elbe, in which he recovered the
eagles lost by Varus (Tac. An., ii. 41).
Thusnelda, wife of Arminius, leading by
the hand her little boy Thumelicus, walks
in the procession, while Segestes, her father,
through whose treachery she had fallen into
the hands of the Romans, sits near Germanicus
as an ally. Painted in 1873; sold
for 35,000 florins. Replica, Mrs. A. T.
Stewart, New York.—Art Treas. of Amer.,
i. 26.
GÉRÔME, JEAN LÉON, born in Vesoul,
May 11, 1824. History
and genre
painter, pupil of
Paul Delaroche,
whom he accompanied
to Rome, and
of Gleyre after his
return from Italy.
Failed to obtain the
prix de Rome, but
obtained a 3d class
medal for his Cock Fight in 1847, and increased
his reputation by his Anacreon in
the following year. Then visited Russia,
where he painted a successful picture of
Russian Musicians, and Egypt, whence he
brought back valuable material afterwards
treated (1857). Since this period he has
129painted a variety of subjects ancient and
modern, which have gained him a place as
one of the best-known modern French
painters. Gérôme has also exhibited several
sculptured groups, and has executed
mural paintings for the city of Paris, among
them the Plague at Marseilles in St. Séverin.

afterwards of Guido, whose assistant he was,
131together with Sementi, in his great works
in Ravenna, Naples, and Mantua. Some of
his earlier pictures nearly approach the excellence
of his master, but his facility of
execution led him to abuse his talents, and
his later works show the coldness of a mannerist.
He had a well-attended school at

Madonna, Christ praying to the East,

called, born in Florence in 1458,

for whom he chiefly worked during the great
painter’s lifetime. To this mediocre painter,
who lived several years in France, and
was richly recompensed by the king, are
ascribed a Resurrection, Berlin Museum;
St. Lucy, in S. M. Novella, Florence; and a
Christ on the way to Golgotha, Louvre.—C.
& C., Italy, iii. 518; Vasari, ed. Le Mon.,
xi. 284.
GHIRLANDAJO, DAVID BIGORDI
called, born in Florence, March 14, 1452,
died there in 1525. Florentine school.
Brother of Domenico and Benedetto; master
in guild of Florence when Domenico
died. He was a mere mechanical workman,
with little talent, but superior to Benedetto.
Employed himself chiefly with mosaics.
David assisted his nephew Ridolfo
in painting the Madonna della Misericordia,
S. Felice, Florence.—C. & C., Italy, iii. 520;
Burckhardt, 639.
GHIRLANDAJO, DOMENICO, born in
Florence in 1449, died there, Jan. 11, 1494.
Florentine school. Real name Domenico di
Tommaso Curradi di Dosso Bigordi; took his
surname from his father, a goldsmith, who
was called Ghirlandajo (garland-maker) from
the wreaths of gold and silver, worn as head-ornaments,
which he made. Domenico’s
earliest recorded works were painted about
1480, before
which he had
perhaps received
instruction
from
Alesso Baldovinetti,
and
had learned
much by
studying the
masterpieces
of Masaccio at the Carmine. He began his
career by decorating the Vespucci chapel
in the Ogni Santi, Florence, with a series
of frescos, now destroyed, of whose quality
a St. Jerome in the church and a Last
Supper in the refectory give no very high
idea. In those representing the Apotheosis
of St. Zanobius, the Madonna, and several
Roman heroes afterwards executed in
1481 in the Sala dell’ Orologio, Palazzo Vecchio,
the style is still unformed, though advance
in technic is manifest. Called to Rome
by Sixtus IV. in 1482, Ghirlandajo painted
the Calling of Peter and Andrew upon the
walls of the Sistine Chapel (finished before
1484), in which he showed himself a follower
of Masaccio in composition. The dignity
of the Saviour, the somewhat formal
though varied grouping of the attendant
figures, and the vast landscape which fills
the background combine to form an impressive
and effective picture. In his next work,
the frescos in the Chapel of S. Fina, San
Gemignano (before 1485), Ghirlandajo manifested
a hitherto unrevealed grace and tenderness,
especially in that which represents
the body of the Saint lying on a bier. After
painting a Last Supper in the Convent of S.
Marco, Florence, which is little varied from
his first in the Ogni Santi, Ghirlandajo executed
the frescos of the Life of St. Francis
(1485) in the Sassetti Chapel, S. Trinità,
Florence, in which he gave the whole measure
of his admirable powers. Here landscape
and architectural backgrounds with
133local features are used to set off groups of
figures conceived in a spirit of noble realism;
the compositions are formed in the
spirit of Masaccio; the heads, many of them
portraits, are drawn with the accurate and
faithful pencil of a Holbein. In the portraits
of the donors, Francesco Sassetti and
his wife Nava, Ghirlandajo equalled the great
German master in truth, in character, and
in modelling. The altarpiece of this chapel,
an Adoration of the Shepherds (1485), is now
in the Florence Academy. Even more important
than the frescos at S. Trinità are
those of the Life of the Virgin (1490) in the
choir of S. M. Novella. Among them, the
Birth of the Virgin is a typical example of
Ghirlandajo’s style. Of the former altarpiece
of this chapel, the Munich Gallery possesses
the Madonna appearing to St. Dominic
and other Saints, together with side panels
of Saints Catherine and Laurence;
and the Berlin Museum the Resurrection of
Christ and Saints. Other works by Ghirlandajo
are, a Madonna with Saints, and a
predella, sacristy of S. Martino, Lucca; Madonna
with Saints and Adoration of the Magi
(1487), Adoration of Shepherds (1485, Uffizi),
Florence; Madonna with Saints, Academy,
ib.; Adoration of the Magi (1488), Chapel of
the Hospital of the Innocenti, ib.; Christ in
Glory, Palazzo Publico, Volterra; Visitation
(1491), Louvre; St. Anthony, New York
Museum.—C. & C., Italy, ii. 459; Vasari,
ed. Mil., iii. 253, 279; Dohme, 2i.
GHIRLANDAJO, RIDOLFO BIGORDI
called, born in Florence,
Feb. 14, 1483,
died there in 1561.
Florentine school; son
of Domenico; brought
up under guardianship
of his uncle, David.
Vasari says he studied
under Fra Bartolommeo,
but he was probably
most indebted for
guidance in art to Granacci, Piero di Cosimo,
and perhaps Rosselli. His Procession
of Christ and the Marys to Calvary, in Palazzo
Antinori a S. Gaetano, Florence, and
his Coronation of the Virgin (1504), Louvre,
are among his earliest works. Later works
show the influence of Fra Bartolommeo and
of Raphael, as the Nativity, Berlin Museum;
Nativity, Eszterhazy Collection, Vienna; and
a predella in the Oratory of Bigallo, Florence.
Raphael had great esteem for his
talent, and vainly tried to persuade him to
join him in Rome in 1508, as Ridolfo was
satisfied with his success in Florence. His
skill reached its highest point in his richly-coloured,
well-composed, and expressive St.
Zanobius raising a Dead Child, and the Burial
of St. Zanobius, Uffizi, Florence. His
Madonna dropping her Girdle to St. Thomas
is in the church at Prato, and M. della
Misericordia in S. Felice, Florence. Ridolfo
became the most noted painter of his time
in Florence, where he executed many commissions
for the Medici.—C. & C., Italy, iii.
518; Vasari, ed. Le Mon., xi. 284; Marchesi,
ii. 141; Ch. Blanc, École florentine.
GHISOLFI (Grisolfi), GIOVANNI, born
in Milan in 1632, died there in 1683. Roman

Rosa; esteemed as a painter of architecture,
he devoted himself after his return to Milan
to large histories and altarpieces, and executed

Ships in a Seaport, Dresden Museum;

GIORDANO, LUCA, called Fa-Presto,
born in Naples in 1632, died there, Jan. 12,
1705. Neapolitan school; son of Antonio
Giordano, a poor painter, who taught him
design; studied nine years with Spagnoletto,
then went to Rome and became pupil and
assistant of Pietro da Cortona for three
years. Visited Bologna, Parma, Venice, and
other cities, making many copies of the pictures
of the great masters, which his father
sold. He acquired at this time the surname
of Fa-Presto, because he painted with such
extreme rapidity.
In 1679 Luca was
called to Florence
by the Grand Duke,
who gave him large
commissions,
through which he
acquired a great
reputation. In
1692 he was invited
to Spain by Charles
II., who gave him titles, honour, and wealth.
Giordano painted many frescos in the Escorial,
in the palace of Buen Retiro, the Cathedral
of Toledo, and other churches, and
numerous portraits. He returned to Italy
in 1702, was splendidly received by Clement
XI., and settled in his native city. Giordano
was the last of the great Italian painters.
Some of his works show marks of genius,
and with more conscientious labour he
might have equalled the greatest masters,
but owing to his fatal facility of execution
he violated all the rules of good taste.

GIORGIONE, IL, born at Castelfranco
about 1477, died at
Venice in 1511. Venetian
school. Real
name Giorgio Barbarelli;
pupil of Giovanni
Bellini and fellow-pupil
of Titian, who
afterwards became his
(Giorgione’s) pupil.
Of his life nothing is
known, save that it
was passed at Venice and Castelfranco, in
which latter place the house where he was
born, now called Casa Pellizzari, contains
remains of his decorative frescos. Giorgione
decorated the exterior of many houses
and palaces at Venice with frescos now effaced;
his oil paintings, owing to the shortness
of his life, are comparatively few. He
treated subjects of the class introduced by
Bellini, such as allegories, legendary episodes,
and bacchanals, in which figures are
set off by landscape with the happiest effect,
and painted many splendid portraits. His
works are conspicuous for rich and brilliant
colour, for breadth and nobility of style, and
for a poetical, sensuous charm which fascinates
and delights the beholder. Works:
Ordeal of Moses, Judgment of Solomon,
Uffizi, Florence; Concert, Palazzo Pitti, ib.;
Family of Giorgione, Prince Giovanelli, ib.;
Madonna with Saints (before 1504), Parish
Church, Castelfranco; Christ bearing Cross,

GIORNO, IL (The Day),
or Madonna of St. Jerome,

wood, H. 6 ft. 6 in. × 4 ft.
8 in. The Virgin, with Jesus
on her arm, sitting;
Jesus is playing with the
hair of the Magdalen, who
is half kneeling beside him;
behind her is a boy with a
vase of ointment; on the
other side, St. Jerome, with
the lion behind him, is
standing, carrying a book
which an angel aids him
in supporting. Called Il
Giorno because represented
in full daylight, and to
distinguish it from La
Notte. Ordered in 1523 by
Donna Briseide Colla Bergonzi,
of Parma, and placed
in 1528 in S. Antonio Abbate.
Carried to Paris, but returned in
1816, though the French government is said
to have offered 1,000,000 francs for it. Many
copies: one in Bridgewater House, supposed
by Lodovico Carracci; another in Palazzo

GIOTTINO, born (?), died after 1369.
Florentine school. Probably identical with
Giotto di Maestro Stefano, whose name appears
in the register of Florentine painters
in 1368. Vasari calls him Tommaso di Stefano,
and says he was born in 1324, thus
confounding him with Maso di Banco (died
after 1351), whom Ghiberti makes the pupil
of Giotto, and who was admitted to the guild
of Speziali in 1343, and to the Company
of St. Luke in 1350. To Maso, Ghiberti ascribes
the series of frescos in the chapel of
S. Silvestro in S. Croce, Florence, representing
the legend of Constantine, while Vasari,
who made one painter out of two, gives them
to Giottino. The fresco of the Last Judgment
in the Bardi Chapel, S. Croce, belonging
to the monument of Ubertino de’ Bardi,
is probably by the artist who painted two
frescos, the Birth and Crucifixion of Christ,
142in the mortuary chapel of the Strozzi, Florence,
and in a panel in the Uffizi, the Bewailing
of Christ. The last is given in the
catalogue to Giottino, but whether it and
other works mentioned belong to him or to
Maso remains to be proved.—C. & C., Italy,
i. 410; Lübke, Gesch. ital. Mal., i. 153; Baldinucci,
i. 253; Vasari, ed. Mil., i. 622; W.
& W., i. 453.
GIOTTO, born at Colle in the district of
Vespignano in 1266;
died in Florence,
Jan. 8, 1337. Florentine
school. Son
of a shepherd named
Bondone; found
drawing sheep upon
flat stones, by Cimabue,
who, struck
with his talent, took
him to Florence and
taught him to paint. Dante tells in the
Divina Commedia (Purgatorio, xi. 93) how
the master was outdone by the pupil, who
is called the reviver of painting, because he
broke loose from Byzantinism and took nature
for his guide. In simple and unaffected,
although necessarily imperfect, language, he
represented scenes from holy writ, legends
and allegories, according to the dogmas of
the Church; and, though living at a time
when art was wholly in her service, worked
in a comparatively independent spirit. In
his pictures there is no striving after ideal
beauty, no attempt at deceptive imitation of
natural objects, no difference of handling in
the treatment of flesh, drapery, or architecture,
and but a scant supply of that technical
knowledge which in later times enabled
men of infinitely less genius to surpass them
in execution, in chiaroscuro, perspective,
drawing, and colour. In all these things
the apprentices of the next century were
Giotto’s superiors; though in earnestness,
in the power of telling a story with dramatic
effect, and in truth of expression, but few of
their masters equalled, and still fewer surpassed,
him. He worked in many parts of
Italy: in Assisi before 1296; in Rome from
1298 to 1300; in Florence from 1300 to 1304;
in Padua from 1304 to 1306; later in Rimini,
and in Naples, where he painted the Miracle
of the Loaves and Fishes in the old convent
church of S. Chiara (but not the Incoronata
frescos), from 1330 to 1333. In the following
year he was appointed master of the
works at the Duomo, Florence, for which he
designed the façade, commenced but afterwards
destroyed, and built its exquisite campanile.
Giotto’s twenty-eight frescos representing
scenes from the lives of the Saviour
and of St. Francis, in the aisle of the upper
church of S. Francesco, Assisi, were probably
painted before the ceilings of the lower
church (1296), in which he allegorized the virtues
of the Franciscans, Poverty, the spouse
chosen by St. Francis, Obedience and Chastity,
the rules of his Order. In Rome Giotto
next decorated the tribune of the church of
S. Giorgio in Velabro with frescos, designed
the so-called Navicella represented by a mosaic
in the portico of St. Peter’s, and painted
the three panels of a predella now in the
sacristy of the canons of St. Peter, representing
the Redeemer and Angels, the donor
Cardinal Stefaneschi, and the Martyrdoms
of St. Peter and St. Paul. The same Apostles,
with the Madonna and Saints, appear
upon other predella panels in the sacristy.
In the Lateran Basilica is a fragment of a
fresco by Giotto representing Pope Boniface
VIII. proclaiming the opening of the
Jubilee in 1300, when Giotto and Dante
were in Rome. The frescos of the Palazzo
del Podesta or Bargello, Florence, portions
of which have been recovered, were painted
about 1302 or 1303. As containing the
well-known portraits of Dante, and some of
his contemporaries, that which represents an
incident in the feud of the Bianchi and the
Neri factions has a peculiar interest. About
1305, Giotto went to Padua to paint the thirty-eight
frescos of the Cappella dell’Arena of Enrico
degli Scrovegni. They represent scenes
from the lives of Christ and the Virgin, the
Last Judgment, and the Virtues and Vices,
143and are the most important works of the
master. Several Crucifixes by Giotto exist;
one is in the Sanctuary of this chapel, others
in S. Marco, S. Felicità, and the Gondi Doni
chapel of the Ogni Santi, Florence. Other
mural paintings by the master are: Incidents
from the lives of SS. Anthony and Francis, in
the chapter house of S. Antonio, Padua; a
ceiling with the four Doctors of the Church
and the four Evangelists, in S. Giovanni
Evangelista, Ravenna; the frescos of the
Peruzzi, Giugni, and Bardi chapels, S. Croce,
Florence; and the remnants of frescos in
the Carmine. Among the works of Giotto
in public galleries are: a Madonna with
Angels, and many small panels of incidents
in the lives of Christ and St. Francis, Florence
Academy; two of the same series in
the Berlin Museum, and two at Munich;
Madonna, Brera, Milan; St. Francis receiving
the Stigmata, Louvre, Paris; Two Apostles,
National Gallery, London.—W. & W.,

GIOVANNI D’ASCIANO, of Siena, born
in Asciano, flourished latter part of 14th
century. Sienese school; pupil of Barna,
and a weak imitator of his style. He finished
the frescos in the church at S. Gimignano,
begun by his master. Vasari says he
executed paintings in the hospital of Siena,
and in the ancient palace of the Medici,
Florence, which gave him reputation, but
they are all lost.—C. & C., Italy, ii. 110;
iii. 62; Vasari, ed. Le Mon., ii. 163.
GIOVANNI DI MARTINI DA UDINE,
born latter half 15th century, died at Udine,
Aug. 30, 1535. Venetian school. Son of
Martino da Tolmezzo, a carver of Udine, and
called Martini to distinguish him from his
cousin, Giovanni Mione. Pupil of Luigi
Vivarini, but how long he was in Venice
is not known. Had returned to Udine in
1497, where he resided until his decease,
his later days being principally devoted to
carving. As a painter he imitated Luigi
Vivarini’s early style, and in many respects
he recalls Jacopo da Valentia. Works: Madonna
(1498), Museo Civico, Venice; St.
Mark Enthroned (1501), Cathedral, Udine;
others in the Spilimberg Cathedral, and in
the Brera, Milan.—C. & C., N. Italy, ii. 182;
Lübke, Gesch. ital. Mal., ii. 582.
GIOVANNI DA MILANO, born in Milan
in 14th century. Florentine school. Real
name Giovanni Jacobi; long an assistant to
Taddeo Gaddi; settled at Florence in 1366.
He made no advancement in composition
beyond Taddeo, but he was less conventional
than his master, and more finished and
elaborate in execution. His earliest extant
picture, a Bewailing of Christ, in the Florence
Academy, dated 1365, shows excessive
conscientiousness, but lacks elevation. A
larger and more important picture is the
Virgin Enthroned, Municipal Gallery, Prato.
An altarpiece in five compartments, in the
Uffizi, Florence, and the frescos of scenes
from the story of the Virgin and Mary Magdalen,
in the Rinuccini Chapel, S. Croce,
are also by this painter.—C. & C., Italy, i.
402; Lübke, Gesch. ital. Mal., i. 143; Vasari,
ed. Le Mon., ii. 115, 179; ed. Mil., i.

GIOVANNI DA MURANO. See Antonio
da Murano.
GIOVANNI DI PAOLO, died about 1481.
Sienese school. Commonly called del Poggio.
On the roll of Sienese artists in 1428;
in the service of Sano di Pietro in 1447.
According to Ricci, he attended the school
of Gentile da Fabriano. His strange fancy
in composition and awkwardness in representing
action are shown in a Last Judgment
144(1453) in the Siena Academy, and in seven
panels, Ramboux Collection, Cologne.—C.
& C., Italy, iii. 80; Vasari, ed Le Mon., iv.
168; vi. 186.

GIOVANNI DA SAN GIOVANNI. See

GIOVANNI DA UDINE, born in Udine,
Oct. 15, 1487, died
in Rome in 1564.
Umbrian school.
Real name Giovanni
de’ Recamatori,
son of Francesco
de’ Recamatori (of
the Embroiderers).
Pupil of Giorgione,
but afterwards of
Raphael, under
whom he superintended the ornamental
decorations in the Vatican Loggie, such as
animals, birds, fruit, flowers, and grotesques.
His arabesques have ever since been considered
models of their type. In 1527, when
Rome was sacked by the Constable de Bourbon,
he went to Florence and painted for
the Medici; worked also in Udine, Venice,
and in other cities, but finally returned to
Rome about 1550. Most of his works are
mural decorations. Among the easel pictures
attributed to him are: Christ among
the Doctors, Holy Family, Venice Academy;
Madonna and Saints, Palazzo Manfrini, Venice;
do., Museo Civico, ib. The only authenticated
work of this kind is a Madonna
Enthroned (1517), belonging to Signor
Frizzoni, Bergamo.—Ch. Blanc, École ombrienne;

1470, died in 1524. Sienese school; son
and pupil of Benvenuto del Guasta. Painted
in 1508 a Virgin of the Snow, in S. Domenico,
Siena, which, though resembling his
father’s productions, is more pleasing.
There are several pictures by him in the
Siena Academy, and a S. Chiara with a
kneeling Pilgrim in the Osservanza outside
Siena.—C. & C., Italy, iii. 73.
GIROLAMO BRESCIANO. See Savoldo.
GIROLAMO DA CARPI, born at Ferrara
about 1501, died about 1561. Lombardo-Ferrarese
school. Real name de’ Sellari or
de’ Livizzani, but called da Carpi because
his father, Tommaso, was born there. Pupil
of Benvenuto Garofalo; afterwards
painted at Bologna, and later studied works
of Correggio and Parmigianino in Modena
and Parma. Though he imitated them, he
was not a servile copyist, but had a style of
his own. Painted in fresco and in oil, and
was very successful in portraits; was also an
architect. Among his works are: Adoration
of the Magi, and Madonna, Bologna
Academy; Christ in the House of Martha
and Mary, Uffizi, Florence; Entombment,
Palazzo Pitti, ib.; Portrait of Archbishop
Salimbeni, ib.; Christ on the Mount of Olives,
ib.; Venus and Cupid, Dresden Gallery.—Vasari,
ed. Mil., vi. 469; Lanzi, iii.

Memorie di ... Garofalo (Ferrara, 1872);
Lavice, 63.
GIROLAMO DA COTIGNOLA, born in
Cotignola about 1481, died in 1550. Bolognese
school. Real name Girolamo Marchesi,
son of Antonio M.; pupil of Zaganelli(?)
and of Francesco Francia, but in his
later days an imitator of Raphael and Michelangelo.
A Nativity of 1513, in his early
style, is in Lord Ashburton’s Collection.
Examples of his later manner, dated 1516
and 1526, are in the Berlin Museum; Madonna
and Saints, dated 1518, L’Annunziata,
Parma; Marriage of the Virgin, and
the Annunciation, Nativity, and Flight into
Egypt, in a predella, Bologna Pinac. Vasari
says he was chiefly known as a portrait
painter.—C. & C., N. Italy, i. 601; Vasari,
ed. Mil., v. 182; Ch. Blanc, École bolonaise.
GIROLAMO DAI LIBRI, born in Verona
in 1474, died July 22, 1555. Venetian
school. Son of Francesco dai Libri, a miniaturist
(or illuminator of books, whence he
got his name), of whom no vestige has been
preserved, and grandson of Stefano da Zevio.
His first picture, Christ deposed from the
Cross, in the Church of Malsesine, painted
when sixteen years old, is an illustration of
his education in the school of a miniaturist,
but in his later works, inspired by a deep
study of the Mantegnesques, he exhibits the
form and the spirit of a greater art. His
Madonna and Saints, lately in Hamilton
Palace, near Glasgow, is a good example of
this style. Later he shows the influence of
Francesco Morone, as in the Madonna and
Saints, Berlin Museum. Still later he acquires
a more modern treatment in every
branch of practice, as seen in the Conception,
in S. Paolo, Verona. The culminating
point in his career is reached in the Virgin
in Glory and the Madonna and Saints
(1530), Verona Museum; and in the Madonna
and St. Anne, National Gallery, London.
Beginning as a miniaturist, he rose to
a high place amongst the painters of North
Italy, being neither a plagiarist nor a servile
copyist. His son, Francesco (born 1500),
was a miniature and oil painter.—C. & C.,
N. Italy, i. 493; Burckhardt, 606; Lübke,
Gesch. d. ital. Mal., ii. 578.
GIROLAMO DA SANTA CROCE, born
at Santa Croce (?), near Bergamo, flourished
at Venice in 1520–49. Venetian school;
history and landscape painter, perhaps pupil
and assistant of Francesco da Santa
Croce, of whom he may and may not have
been a relative; further developed under
influence of Giovanni Bellini and the great
148Venetian masters. Works: Nativity, Martyrdom
of St. Sebastian, Coronation of the
Virgin, Crucifixion, Berlin Museum; Nativity,
Martyrdom of St. Lawrence, Dresden
Gallery; St. Thomas Aquinas Enthroned
(1520), S. Silvestro, Venice; Adoration of
the Magi, Manfrini Gallery, ib.; Resurrection
(early work), Last Supper (1549), S.
Martino, ib.; Head of Christ, A Bishop,

GIROLAMO DA SERMONETA, born at

about 1580. Umbrian school. Real name
Girolamo Siciolante; pupil of Perino del
Vaga, whom he assisted in his frescos in
Castello S. Angelo and in other works.
Employed by Gregory XIII. in the decorations
of the Sala Regia in the Vatican; also
executed works in many churches in Rome.
His best work is the Madonna and Saints,
in S. Bartolommeo, Ancona. Said to have
been a good portrait painter. His style is
antiquated, more like that of the Peruginesques
than of any of his contemporaries.—Vasari,
ed. Le Mon., x. 170, 185; ed. Mil.,
vii. 571; Ch. Blanc, École ombrienne.
GIROLAMO DA TREVISO, the elder, of

in S. Niccolò in 1470. His oldest known
picture is the Death of the Virgin, at Lonigo,
painted in 1478. Better than this is
the Christ at the Column, in Casa Rinaldi,
Treviso, in which there is an echo of Antonello
da Messina. Virgin with Saints, Duomo,
Treviso (1487).—C. & C., N. Italy, i.

GIULIO ROMANO, born in Rome in
1492, died in Mantua, Nov. 1, 1546. Real
name Giulio Pippi de’ Giannuzzi,
but called Romano
from his birthplace. Umbrian
school; became the
assistant of Raphael when
quite young, and with Il
Fattore and Pellegrino da
Modena aided him in the
decoration of the Vatican.
He was Raphael’s favourite
pupil and was, with Il
Fattore, his heir and art executor. He
painted frescos in Rome in the Villa Lanti,
in the Villa Madama, which he built, and
in Trinità de’ Monti. Having fulfilled his
duties towards Raphael by finishing his
incomplete works in the Vatican, and in
painting, with Il Fattore, the Assumption
which Raphael had promised to the Convent
of Monteluce, now in the Vatican, he went
(1524) to Mantua and entered the service of
Duke Federigo Gonzaga. There he directed
works in architecture as well as in painting,
having under him many scholars and assistants.
While under Raphael’s care he was a
close imitator of his style; but when left to
himself his taste soon became depraved, and
he was largely responsible for the decay of
Italian art. Among his works in Mantua
are frescos in the Palazzo del Tè, which he
built. They represent the Defeat of the
Giants, and the History of Cupid and Psyche,
the latter with a licentious freedom of treatment
which ill accords with the traditions of
the school in which he was bred. He also
painted other frescos in the Uffizio della
Scaccheria and in several churches in Mantua.
In 1546 he was chosen architect of St.
Peter’s, Rome, as successor to Sansovino, and
was about to set out for that city when he
died. Among the best of his few easel pictures
are: Madonna del Bacino, Pan and the
young Olympus, Dresden Gal.; Martyrdom
of St. Stephen, S. Stefano, Genoa; Madonna,
Sacristy of St. Peter’s, Rome; Julius II.

are in S. Pietro in Grado, near Pisa. He
is said to have painted in 1236, in the
upper church of S. Francesco Assisi, a Crucifixion
with Father Elias. Other pictures
in the Academy, and in the Campo Santo at
Pisa, are ascribed both to him and to Cimabue.—C.

assistant; worked under Neri di Bicci
in 1458–59, with Fra Filippo in 1460, and
assisted Benozzo Gozzoli in the Campo
Santo, Pisa. His style is a mixture of that
of Fra Filippo and of Gozzoli, but inferior
to both. By him are, perhaps, a Madonna
and Saints in S. Gimignano Gallery (attributed
to Gozzoli); do. in S. Girolamo, Volterra;
do. in Gallery Comunale, Prato; do.
in Florence Academy.—C. & C., Italy, ii.

Godlieb, and his sister, Diana, also a skilful
artist, and was received under the name of
Polydor into the society of Dutch and German
artists there, called the Schilderbent.
152Having spent two years in Rome, one year
in Padua, and two years in Venice, he went
in 1680 to Hamburg, and resided there and
in Copenhagen until 1685, when he settled
in Amsterdam, in the house of Gerard de Lairesse,
who painted figures in his landscapes.
His pictures show a conception kindred to
Poussin, combining elevated composition
with excellent drawing. In colouring, chiaroscuro,
and individuality, he often surpassed
his model. Works: Landscapes in

Father and the Son are seated, with crystal
orbs and sceptres in their hands; around
them countless cherubim and seraphim fading

the clouds the Virgin stands interceding for
sinners, at whose head Charles V., to the

GODDESS OF DISCORD, Joseph M.
W. Turner, National Gallery, London; canvas,
H. 4 ft. 11 in. × 7 ft. The Goddess of
Discord choosing the apple of contention in
the Garden of the Hesperides. The three
daughters of Hesperus, Ægle, Hespere, and
Erytheïs, dwelt in the garden, where they
had charge of the tree of the golden apples,
the gift of Earth to Juno on her wedding day.
The Hesperides and the garden were
guarded by the dragon Ladon, destroyed by
Hercules in his eleventh labour. The Goddess
of Discord, not having been invited to
the marriage feast of Peleus and Thetis,
procured one of these apples, and writing
upon it, “For the most beautiful,” threw it
among the guests at the feast. It was
claimed by Juno, Minerva, and Venus.
Jupiter, to end the strife, ordered that the
dispute should be settled by Paris, the
shepherd of Mt. Ida. The Judgment of
155Paris, who awarded it to Venus, that goddess
having promised him Helen of Sparta
for his wife, led to the Trojan war. In
Turner’s picture, a glorious mountain landscape,
with the River Lethon and nymphs
in foreground, the Goddess of Discord is
seen receiving the apple from the Hesperides;
in the background, the fiery dragon is
lying at length along the summit of a lofty
crag. British Institution, 1806. Engraved

GOES, HUGO VAN DER, born in Ghent
about 1430, died in the Rooden Cloister,
near Brussels, in 1482. Flemish school;
history and portrait painter. In 1465 he
was a member, and in 1473–75 dean, of the
painters’ guild at Ghent, where, in 1468, he
assisted in preparing decorations for the
marriage of Charles the Bold and Margaret
of York. About 1475 he took refuge in the
Rooden Cloister, of the Augustine Choir-Masters,
whence, in 1479–80, he was called
to Louvain, as one of the greatest painters
in the country, to value an unfinished picture
by Dierick Bouts. About 1481 he became
insane. The one authentic picture by
Hugo van der Goes is the altarpiece in the
Hospital of S. Maria Nuova, Florence, which
was ordered at Bruges by Tommaso Portinari,
and painted about 1470–75. The middle
picture represents the Adoration of the
Shepherds; on the wings are the portraits
of Tommaso Portinari and his two sons,
presented by SS. Matthew and Anthony,
and of Folco Portinari, with his wife and
daughter and their patron saints, Margaret
and Mary Magdalen. Heads earnest and
severe, draperies broken into stiff folds,
colour wanting in harmony, cold, though
clear in tone. Attributed to him is also an
Annunciation in the Old Pinakothek at Munich.—Allgem.

1558, died in Haarlem,
Dec. 29,
1616, or Jan. 1,
1617. Dutch
school; history,
portrait, and landscape
painter, although
his great
reputation rests
upon his skill as an engraver, which was exceptional.
He did not begin to paint until
he was forty-two years old. Unhappily
married to a rich widow much older than
himself, he lost his health, and by the advice
of his physicians travelled through
Germany (1590), then went to Rome and
(1592) to Naples. After his return to Haarlem
he suffered from the harsh climate and
gradually declined. He was a versatile,
skilful, and extravagant mannerist, who, like
Spranger, delighted in forced attitudes and
unnaturally-developed muscles, and caricatured
the style of Michelangelo, whom he
endeavoured to emulate. Works: Female
portrait, Brussels Museum; Adoration of
the Magi, St. Maurice Chapel, Nuremberg;

the mulatto slave of Murillo; learned his
art by watching his master at work. According
to the story, he once ventured to finish
a Virgin’s head which had been sketched

composition, but are much like Murillo’s
in colouring. Works: Holy Family, Seville

head. Waagen and Passavant think it the
portrait at Charlecote Park, near Warwick,

made him popular. In 1780 he became a
member of the Academy of San Fernando,
in 1795 director of the same, and painter in
ordinary to Charles IV., an honour continued
under Ferdinand VII. Goya painted also
religious compositions and portraits, but he
is best known as a satirist and caricaturist
of very remarkable, though eccentric, genius,
as his many etchings and sketches abundantly
show. He has been called the Hogarth
of Spain. Works: Equestrian Portrait of

GOZZOLI, BENOZZO, born in Florence
in 1424, died
there in 1498.
Florentine
school. Real
name Benozzo di
Lese di Sandro;
pupil of Fra Angelico,
whom he
followed to
Rome, and his
assistant at Orvieto
in 1447. He parted from him in
1449, and established himself at Montefalco,
near Foligno, where he remained until 1456
and executed many important works in the
manner of his master, though they are far
from approaching him in spiritual power.
Those in S. Fortunato consist of a Madonna
with Saints and Angels, an Apotheosis of
the titular Saint, an Annunciation, and St.
Thomas receiving the Girdle, now in the
Museum of St. John Lateran, Rome. In S.
Francesco, Benozzo filled the choir with a
triple course of episodes from the life of St.
Francis, and painted a Madonna and Saints
and other frescos in the Chapel of St. Jerome
in the same church. In 1456, after painting
in Perugia the Madonna and Saints,
now in the Academy, Benozzo returned to
Florence, and was employed by Piero de’
Medici to paint a series of frescos representing
the Journey of the Magi to Bethlehem,
in the Chapel of the Palazzo Riccardi. In
these, like the realists, he made Scripture
incidents a vehicle for the treatment of rich
costume, animal life, and landscape. In
1463–67 he painted in S. Agostino, San
163Gimignano, a series of scenes from the life
of St. Augustine, and other subjects in the
Pieve. Between 1469 and 1485 he painted,
in the Campo Santo, Pisa, a series of frescos
representing 24 subjects from the Old Testament,
the most pleasing of which is Noah
and his Family, which contains the charming
episode of the vintage and a rich architectural
and landscape background. Among
his extant easel pictures are the Triumph of
St. Thomas Aquinas, Louvre; Conception,
Pisa Academy; Miracles of St. Hyacinth,
Vatican, Rome; Madonna with Saints, Vienna
Museum; Miracles of S. Jacinto, Vatican;
Madonna with Saints, Rape of Helen,

with Poussin; returned after three
years, and lived successively at Amsterdam

subjects, which were much admired.—Immerzeel,

GRANACCI, FRANCESCO, born in
Florence, July 23, 1477, died there, Nov.
30, 1543. Florentine school; pupil of Domenico
and David Ghirlandajo at same time
with Michelangelo, with whom he formed an
intimate friendship. His early tendency
was to imitate the Michelangelesque, at the
same time endeavouring to acquire the technical
improvements of Mariotto Albertinelli
and of Fra Bartolommeo. He was one of
those whom Michelangelo invited to Rome
in 1508 to aid in the frescos of the Sistine
Chapel, but he did not satisfy him, and this
led to their estrangement. After that Granacci
came under Raphael’s influence. On
his return to Florence he became Ridolfo
Ghirlandajo’s partner, and devoted himself
chiefly to the painting of banners and stage
scenery. Among his best pictures are Virgin
in Glory, Uffizi, Florence; Holy Family,
Palazzo Pitti, ib.; Virgin and Saints,
Academy, ib.; Madonna and Saints, The

GRANDI, ERCOLE DI GIULIO, born in

Lombard school. Called also Ercole da
Ferrara. Son of Giulio Cesare Grandi;
was in the service of the Duke of Ferrara in
1492–99. He was a disciple of Costa, or
rather of Francia as represented by Costa,
in his later period. Among his typical
works may be cited the Martyrdom of St.
Sebastian in S. Paolo, Ferrara, and the St.
George and the Dragon in the Corsini Gallery,
Rome;
Conversion of
St. Paul, National
Gallery,
London.—C. &

by whom he was frequently employed;
finished a view of Naples in 1490–93;
and painted in 1494 the likeness of Hercules
I. for Isabella of Mantua. Vasari, who confounds
him with Ercole the disciple of Costa,
ascribes to him the frescos in the Garganelli
Chapel of S. Pietro, now destroyed. His
Capture and Procession to Golgotha in the
Dresden Museum (the centre-piece, belonging
to these, a Pietà, is in the Royal Institution
at Liverpool) show that he was a
close follower of Mantegna rather than of
Costa. In similar style are: Christ on the
Mount, Ravenna Gallery; Crucified Saviour,
Museo Civico, Venice; and the Lucretia,
Modena Gallery.—C. & C., N. Italy, i. 530;

GREUZE, JEAN BAPTISTE, born at
Tournus (Saône-et-Loire),
Aug.
21, 1725, died
in Paris, March
21, 1805. French
school; genre
and portrait
painter, pupil in
Lyons of Grandon,
and in Paris
of the Academy
in 1755. His picture of the Father reading
the Bible to his Children was exhibited and
greatly admired in the same year, at the
close of which he was taken to Italy by the
Abbé Goujenot. After his return he exhibited
at the Salons of 1757, 1759, and
1761, at which latter his Accordée du Village
(Louvre) excited the greatest enthusiasm.
Angry at being received into the
Academy (1767) as a genre and not as a
history painter, Greuze retired for a time to
Anjou, whence he returned to exhibit pictures
in his studio which attracted all Paris.
He amassed a large fortune, but lost it at
the Revolution. Neglected by the public,
which admired only the new school of David,
174Greuze passed his last years in misery and
regret. His wife, Mlle. Babuty, whose
charming face appears in so many of his
pictures, was an extravagant and worthless
woman, from whom he was separated long
before his death. Works: Septimius Severus

1835. History and
portrait painter,
son of Jean Antoine,
miniature painter,
and pupil of David;
competed unsuccessfully
for the prix
de Rome in 1792,
supported himself by
painting portraits,
and in 1793 went to
Italy. In 1796 he was presented to General
Bonaparte at Milan, and obtained his
favour by painting him on the bridge at
Arcole. The General had the picture engraved
by Longhi, gave the plate to Gros,
appointed him review inspector, and put
him on the commission charged to select
works of art to be sent to France. In 1799
he escaped from Genoa on an English ship,
arrived half dead at Antibes, and in 1801
gained at Paris a competition prize for
a sketch of Battle of Nazareth, an historical
picture never executed. Up to 1812, he
painted battles of the Empire and portraits,
then was commissioned to paint the cupola
of St. Geneviève, which he finished in 1824,
when he was ennobled. In 1815 directed
the school of David during that painter’s
exile; in 1816 named member of the Institute,
counsellor of Royal Museum, professor
of École des Beaux Arts; 1819, Order of
San Michel; 1828, L. of Honour. His portrait
of Charles X. (1827), some ceilings at

fell into a state of melancholy and drowned
himself. Between 1816 and 1835 he had
formed more than four hundred pupils.

GUERCINO, IL, born at Cento, Feb. 8,
1591, died in Bologna, Dec. 22, 1666. Bolognese
school. Real name Giovanni Francesco
Barbieri, but called Guercino because
he squinted. Son of a peasant and mostly
self-taught, but studied the works of the
Carracci; afterward studied under Benedetto
Gennari and later in Venice and Bologna.
Went to Rome in 1621, returned
to Cento in 1623, and in 1642 established
himself in Bologna. His house in Cento,
Casa di Guercino,
contains many of his
works; others are
in the Church del
Rosario. His statue
by Galletti is in the
Piazza. Guercino
painted at first in
the manner of the
Carracci, but afterward
inclined to imitate Caravaggio, and a
few of his latest works approach the manner
of Guido; but he is very unequal, and
some of his pictures are crude and marked
by an insipid mannerism. His masterpiece
is St. Petronilla raised from the Tomb, Capitoline
Gallery, Rome. Works: Investiture

GUIDI, TOMMASO DI GIOVANNI.
See Masaccio.
GUIDO (Guido Reni), born in Bologna,
Nov. 4, 1575,
died there, Aug.
18, 1642. Bolognese
school.
Son of Daniele
Reni, a musician;
pupil of Denis
Calvart, afterward
of the Carracci.
For a time he was
the favourite pupil
of Lodovico, but he soon aroused so
much jealousy that he was dismissed from
the academy. After painting several years
in Bologna, where his pictures excited much
admiration, he went to Rome about 1608,
with his fellow-pupil Francesco Albani, and
notwithstanding the opposition of Caravaggio
and of Annibale Carracci, then at work
in the Palazzo Farnese, he soon won an
honourable position. Caravaggio was then
the fashion in Rome, and when Cardinal
Borghese gave Guido an order for the Crucifixion
188of St. Peter, he coupled it with the
command that it should be in the manner
of that painter. Guido obeyed, but he gave
his composition a grandeur and dignity beyond
the powers of Caravaggio. Paul V.
employed him to decorate the private chapel
in the Palace of Monte Cavallo, a work which
gained him great reputation and made him
many enemies, even his friend Albani becoming
inimical when he found that Guido’s
fame was likely to exceed his own. After
an absence in Rome of twenty years, Guido
returned to Bologna, where he painted the
Massacre of the Innocents for S. Domenico,
now in the Bologna Gallery, and St. Paul
reproving St. Peter, for the Palazzo Zampieri,
now in the Brera, Milan. Paul V.
soon induced him to return to Rome, where
he executed works in S. M. Maggiore and
other public buildings, his most famous one
being the fresco Aurora, in the pavilion of
the Palazzo Rospigliosi. Guido’s productions
vary much in manner according to the
time of their execution, and may be assigned
to three different periods: The first, marked
by strong contrasts of light and shade; the
second or transition period, stronger and
more natural; the third, pale-gray tones
and insipid sentiment. Works: Massacre
of Innocents, Madonna della Pietà, Christ on
the Cross, Samson Victorious, St. Sebastian,

GUIDO DI PIETRO. See Angelico, Fra.
GUIDO RENI DI NAPOLI. See Stanzioni,
Massimo.
GUIDO DA SIENA, Sienese school, latter
half of 13th century. The Madonna in
S. Domenico, Siena, falsely dated 1221, was
painted probably in 1281; and Guido is
probably identical with Guido Graziani, who
appears in documents of 1278. The inscription
has been often retouched, and the
heads of the Virgin and Child have evidently
been entirely repainted. This is important,
as upon it rests the question
whether Florence or Siena was the cradle of
the revival of painting in the 13th century.
By the rectification of the date, the priority
of the Florentine Cimabue to the Sienese
Guido is established, and the honour remains
to Florence. The Madonna in the Academy
at Siena, also ascribed to Guido, is much inferior
to the one at S. Domenico. A Madonna
with Saints, attributed to him, is in
the Gallery of the Historical Society of New
York.—C. & C., Italy, i. 180; Vasari, ed. Le

Soldiers, but dissatisfied
with the
position assigned it refused to contribute
any more. After painting portraits in Plymouth,
he won a considerable reputation in
1814 by his Judgment of Solomon, which
sold for 700 guineas. In 1820 he produced
Christ’s Entry into Jerusalem, the exhibition
of which in London brought him 3,000 guineas;
but it procured him no commissions, and
was finally sold for £240 and sent to America.
It is now in Philadelphia. Though in
great pecuniary difficulties and several times
the inmate of a debtor’s prison, he still clung
218to the belief that he was the great historical
painter of the age, and that his efforts would
in time be appreciated. His Raising of Lazarus
(14 x 20 ft.), now in the National Gallery,
was exhibited with some success in 1823,
and a few years afterwards his Venus appearing
to Anchises, Alexander taming Bucephalus,
and Euclus. By teaching and lecturing
he maintained his family for a time, but
falling into new troubles and overwhelmed
by disappointment at the cold reception
given in 1846 to his Banishment of Aristides,
and Nero watching the Burning of Rome,
he committed suicide. Haydon’s Lectures
on Painting were published in 1844–46, and
his Life from his autobiography and journals,
edited and compiled by Tom Taylor,
in 1853. Works: Portrait of Himself,
Leigh Hunt, Anti-Slavery Convention, National

whom is ascribed a Fruit-piece in the Amsterdam
Museum; David III. (born in 1628),

HÉMICYCLE, Paul Delaroche, Palais des
Beaux-Arts, Paris; encaustic painting, H.
15 ft. × about 50 ft. Scene—the portico of
an Ionic temple; in centre sits Apelles enthroned,
with Ictinus on his right and
Phidias on his left. Near them are five allegorical
figures: in front, Fame, nude, kneeling,
casting out wreaths from a heap at her
side; back of her, at left, seated, are Greek
Art and Gothic Art, the latter (with the
model of a cathedral) a portrait of Delaroche’s
wife, daughter of Horace Vernet;
at right, Roman Art and Renaissance Art.
On each side of this ideal group extend the
wings of the picture, in which are grouped
the great artists of the world, standing or
sitting in their habits as they moved of old.
The work contains 75 colossal figures. The
original, called the Hémicycle because it
occupies the semicircular frieze of the amphitheatre
of the Beaux-Arts, was painted
in 1837–41. Delaroche received for it 80,000
francs, the price set for a canvas of fifteen
figures, the work originally contemplated.
It was injured by fire in 1855, but the damage
was repaired by the artist himself, aided
by Mercier and Fleury. The engraving by
Henriquel Dupont cost eight years’ labour.
Delaroche made for Dupont’s use a copy of
the work, in small (1853), now owned by
W. T. Walters, Baltimore. There is a photogravure
of it in Art Treasures of America,
together with a key to the figures. The
original sketch for the large work is in the
Nantes Museum.—Art Treas. of Amer., i.

HERRERA, FRANCISCO DE, el Viejo
(the elder), born
in Seville about
1576, died in
Madrid in 1656.
Spanish school;
pupil of Luis
Fernandez, but
disdaining to
imitate him,
adopted a free
bold style, and
became one of the most original and famous
artists of his time in Spain. He painted
many religious compositions, and attracted
numerous students, among whom was Velasquez,
but his temper was so violent that
he was abandoned by even his children.
Accused of coining false money, he took
refuge in the Jesuits’ College, Seville, where
he painted a noble altarpiece, St. Hermengild
in Glory, now in the Seville Museum.
Philip IV. on seeing this picture granted
him a free pardon. In 1650 he settled in
Madrid. Other works: Last Judgment, S.

where he learned to paint still-life, especially
fish, so well that he was called Il
Spagnuolo degli Pesci. Returning to Seville
on the death of his father, he painted
several large altarpieces for churches. In
1660 he aided in founding the Academy at
Seville, of which Murillo was chosen president
and Herrera second or vice-president;
but, displeased at this inferior position, he
went in 1661 to Madrid, where he became
painter to Philip IV. and superintendent of
the royal works (1671). Named royal
painter to Charles II. Though possessed
of considerable mechanical facility, Herrera
did not inherit much of his father’s genius;
he coloured
with some
brilliancy,
but his drawing
and his composition are alike affected.

and was the first English native
artist of importance whose contemporary
reputation has been maintained. Hilliard
was especially noted for his miniatures, of
which that of Jane Seymour in the Royal
Library at Windsor is one of the best. The
influence of Holbein is traceable in his works.

distinction as a subject painter, his works
being marked by refined taste in design,
and by rich and harmonious colouring,
though they have much depreciated, owing
to the excessive use of asphaltum. Though
his skill was recognized by the profession,
his art was not popular, and want of encouragement
weighed heavily upon him.

HOBBEMA, MEYNDERT (Minderhout),
born at Koeverden or at Amsterdam (?) in
1638, died at Amsterdam, buried Dec. 14,
1709. Dutch school; landscape painter,
formed himself under the influence of
Jacob van Ruisdael. Much neglected in
his life-time, and little esteemed, this painter
now takes rank as one of the greatest
masters of landscape art, thanks to the initiative
of England, where nine-tenths of his
works are to be found. With less inventive
genius and less poetic feeling than Ruisdael,
Hobbema surpassed him in truth to atmospheric
effect, in tone, and in brilliancy of
colour. These qualities give a magical
beauty to the generally prosaic scenes which
he habitually treated. Some of his landscapes
are enlivened with figures by Pieter
Bouts, Adrian van der Velde, Berghem, Lingelbach,
Storck, Helt-Stokade, B. Gael, and

HOGARTH, WILLIAM, born in London,
Dec. 10, 1697, died
there, Oct. 26, 1764.
Son of Richard Hogarth,
schoolmaster;
apprenticed to Ellis
Gamble, silversmith,
to learn to engrave
arms and cyphers on
plate; when his time
had expired (1718),
became a student in
St. Martin’s Lane Academy, where he
learned to draw. About 1720 he set up in
business as a silversmith, and began to engrave
book-plates, the first of his prints to
attract notice being a series of illustrations
for Butler’s Hudibras (1726). In 1730 he
clandestinely married the daughter of Sir
James Thornhill, serjeant-painter to the
269king, whose studio he had frequented. As
his book-plates were not profitable, he set
up as a portrait painter and met with considerable
success. In 1733 he completed
his series of six pictures entitled the Harlot’s
Progress (5 burned at Fonthill, 1755;
1, the sixth picture, Earl of Wemys, Gosford
House), which was followed by the
Rake’s Progress (8 pictures), and Marriage à
la Mode (6), in which he reached the height
of his art, his more ambitious works, such
as the Good Samaritan (1736), Paul before
Felix (1748), Moses brought to Pharaoh’s
Daughter (1752), and others, being less successful.
Among his other pictures painted
especially for engraving are: Southwark
Fair (1733), Duke of Newcastle; Midnight
Modern Conversation (1734); Distressed
Poet (1735); The Four Times of the Day
(1738); Strolling Actresses Dressing in a
Barn (1738, burned at Littleton House,
near Staines, 1874); The Enraged Musician
(1741); Calais Gate (1749); March to Finchley
(1750); The Election (1755), Soane Museum,
London. In 1753 he published a
work entitled “The Analysis of Beauty”;
in 1757 he was appointed serjeant-painter
to the king. Hogarth painted several portraits
of himself; the best of them, in which
he is represented with his dog Trump (1745),
is in the National Gallery, London. Other
pictures in the National Gallery are: Marriage
à la Mode (6), Portrait of his sister,
Mary Hogarth (1746), Sigismonda (1763),

Berl. Malersch., 69.
HOLBEIN (Holbain), HANS, the elder,

about 1460, died

worked conjointly with him on several
works.—Allgem. d. Biogr., xii. 713; Cundall,

HOLBEIN, HANS, the younger, born in
Augsburg in 1497,
died in London between
Oct. 7 and
Nov. 29, 1543. German
school; history
and portrait painter,
son and pupil of
Hans Holbein the
elder. After completing
his apprenticeship
he went to
Basle with his brother, Ambrose, in 1515,
served as journeyman under Herbster, Koch,
271or Dig, matriculated in 1519, when he joined
the painters’ guild. Two years before, he
decorated the house of Jacob von Hartenstein
at Lucerne with frescos no longer extant
(copies in Lucerne Library). His frescos
in the City Hall at Basle were painted
in 1521–22, and The Passion, in the Basle
Museum, about the same time. It is possible
that Holbein made a short visit to
Northern Italy before 1523, when he painted
the fine portrait of Erasmus at Longford
Castle, which the great humanist sent to Sir
Thomas More in 1525 as a specimen of the
painter’s ability and as a recommendation
to his patronage. Probably in September,
1526, Holbein visited Antwerp to see Quinten
Massys, and spent some time there, after
which he went to England, where Sir Thomas
More lodged him in his own house near London.
There he painted the Chancellor and
his family (original lost, sketch in Basle
Museum), and many fine portraits. From
August, 1528, Holbein lived at Basle until
1532, when he returned to England, where,
despite the earnest invitations of the magistrates
of Basle, he remained, with the exception
of a visit in 1538, during the rest
of his life. At what time Holbein became
painter to Henry VIII. is not known (1536?),
but probably not until after the death of
Anne Boleyn, whose successor, Lady Jane
Seymour, he represented in the family picture
of the two Henrys, which was burned
at Whitehall in 1698. (Copy at Hampton
Court.) In March, 1538, when Holbein is
first mentioned as the recipient of a quarterly
salary from the king, he was sent to
Brussels, and then revisited Basle. In August,
1539, Henry again sent him to Flanders
to paint Anne of Cleves (Louvre). The
wonderful series of 89 portraits in red chalk
and India ink by Holbein in the royal collection
at Windsor are in themselves sufficient
to stamp him as one of the greatest
of all masters in portraiture. As a designer
he shines most brightly in the wood cuts of
the Dance of Death, executed by Hans
Lützelburger, and published at Lyons in
1538 and 1547. Works: Head of the Virgin
(1514), do. of a Saint, Christ on Mount

and is only known now through its
many copies. Discovery of original often
announced, but without good evidence.

Probably the second of two painted in Florence
in 1506 for Taddeo Taddei. Belonged

it for 5,000 livres to M. de la Noue; from
his collection passed to President Tambonneau,
and thence to the Orleans collection,
at the sale of which (1798) bought by Earl
of Bridgewater for £1,200. Two vertical
splits in the panel have necessitated repainting.

about 1517 for Federigo II., Gonzaga,
Duke of Mantua, according to Passavant,
but probably identical with the Nativity
described by Vasari as painted for Bishop
Lodovico da Canossa; passed from Canossa
family, Verona, to Duke of Mantua, and sold
in 1628 to Charles I. of England; bought
after Charles’s death, for £2,000, by Don
Alonzo de Cardeñas, Spanish Ambassador,
for Philip IV. of Spain, who is said to have
exclaimed when he saw it: “This is the
pearl among my pictures!” Carried in 1813
to Paris, where transferred to canvas; returned
to Madrid in 1822. Many copies.
Engraved by Gio. Baptista Franco, L. Vorsterman,
and others. The M. della Gatta, by
Giulio Romano, Naples Museum, is a repetition
of the Perla, with a change of accessories;
derives its name from the cat (gatta)
crouching at St. Elizabeth’s feet. Engraved
by G. B. Franco; L. Vorsterman. Giulio
Romano had perhaps some hand in painting
the Perla.—Gruyer, Vierges de Raphael, iii.

HONTHORST, GERARD VAN, born at
Utrecht, Nov. 4, 1590, died there, April 27,
1656. Dutch school; history, genre, and
portrait painter, pupil of Abraham Bloemart,
but spent several years in Rome,
where he studied the pictures of Caravaggio,
and found a patron in the Marchese Giustiniani.
As he painted many night scenes
lighted by torches or candles, he was surnamed
Gherardo dalle Notti. After his return
he worked
(1619–20) at the
court of King
Frederic in
Prague, later for
Charles I. in
England, where
in 1628 he executed
portraits
and historical
paintings for the
Banqueting Hall, Whitehall. He was free
of the Utrecht guild in 1623, and at The
Hague in 1637. In 1645–50 he worked
chiefly for the princes of Orange, but also
painted a series of pictures from Danish
history for the King of Denmark, and in
his later years a number of portraits for
Frederick William, Elector of Brandenburg.
His early pictures are preferable to those
painted after his journey to Italy (1612–15),
where he imitated Caravaggio and
Correggio in his night pieces, Rubens in
his historical paintings, and Mierevelt in
his portraits. He worked very rapidly. His
numerous works are markedly realistic, show
skilful arrangement, good drawing, and powerful
chiaroscuro, but they are deficient in
elevation. Works: Lute-Player (1614), Concert

bosom falls to the ground, shedding its
leaves. Royal Academy, 1852; painted for

makes the sign of the cross, when, according
313to the church tradition, it miraculously
ceased. A typical conflagration, suggestive
of the burning of Troy, with Æneas, Anchises,

INGEGNO, L’, born in Assisi, flourished
end of 15th and early part of 16th century.
Umbrian school. Real name Andrea Luigi,
Alovigi, or Lovigi, but called L’Ingegno (the
Cunning), on account of his pictorial ability
and his versatility. Vasari’s account of him
is full of errors. He was more probably the
pupil of Niccolò Alunno, who opened a school
at Foligno in 1460, than of Perugino, whose
school at Perugia did not begin until about
1499, and is first heard of in 1484, painting
coats-of-arms in the Council Hall and on the
city gates of Perugia. He was proctor in
1505, justice in 1507, assistant in 1510, and
Papal cashier in 1511, under Pope Julius II.
His name is attached to several pictures in
European galleries, evidently painted by a
master who was at the school of Fiorenzo di
Lorenzo, and a companion of Pinturicchio.—C.

beard, in a cap and red dress, sitting, pen
in hand, behind a table, on which are an
inkstand, a book, and a casket. He was
Secretary to the Conclave; called Phædra,
because, having once taken part in the performance
of Seneca’s Hippolytus, he improvised
some Latin verses about Phædra to
avert a panic when the theatrical machinery
gave way. Painted in Rome about 1513;
carried to Paris in 1799; returned in 1815.

INGRES, JEAN AUGUSTE DOMINIQUE,
born at
Montauban (Tarn-et-Garonne),
Aug. 29,
1780, died in Paris,
Jan. 14, 1867. History
and portrait
painter, pupil of
Roques in Toulouse,
and of David in
Paris (1796); won
the second grand prix in 1800, and the
grand prix de Rome in 1801, but being unable
to go to Italy on account of the war he
spent the next five years in Paris studying
the pictures in the Louvre, supporting himself
meanwhile by making designs and book
illustrations. After living from 1806 to
1820 in Rome, where he studied the works
of Raphael with devotion, and from 1820 to
1824 in Florence, he returned to Paris to
take rank as one of the greatest artists of
his time, and to produce an immense number
of works, many of which are of great
excellence. As a colourist he is cold and
unsympathetic, but as a draughtsman he is
perhaps the first of French artists. Some
of his portraits, as, for instance, that of M.
Bertin, are masterpieces in character and in
drawing. He had many distinguished pupils,
such as Hippolyte Flandrin, and was
familiarly known in Paris as “Le père Ingres.”

JACOPO DA CASENTINO, 14th century,
born in Prato Vecchio, died there,
aged eighty. Florentine school. Met Taddeo
Gaddi while the latter was decorating a
chapel in the church of Sasso della Vernia
in Casentino, and followed him to Florence.
He painted many frescos in that city, both
as a subordinate and as a master, and was
one of the founders, in 1349, of the Company
of St. Luke. About 1354 he went to
Arezzo, where he reconstructed the waterworks
of the Fonte Guinizelli, and executed
a great number of frescos. His work is
weakly Giottesque and feeble in execution.
Among the few extant examples of his style
are a St. John Evangelist with predella in
the National Gallery, London; a predella
in the Uffizi, Florence; and a Dead Christ
(fresco) in S. Bartolommeo, Arezzo.—C. &

1485, at Belluno. He probably became a
master, beginning of the 16th century, in
Serravalle, where he received frequent commissions.
Two Madonnas by him (one

1813. Animal and
landscape painter,
engraver, and
etcher. Few
French artists
have a more widely
extended or

reputation,

than a painter, his colouring being somewhat
crude. He paints farmyard scenes in
perfection, and excels in accurate knowledge
of sheep and poultry, of which he is a fancier;
has also been called Le Raphael des
Porceaux, from his truthful pictures of pigs.

Lamen; master of the guild in 1644. The

from Flemish court life of the times, and
are treated in an original, truthful, refined
manner; drawing correct, colouring excellent.

JOEST, JAN, born probably at Calcar
about 1460, died at
Haarlem in 1519. History
painter, first instructed
at Calcar,
then formed himself
undoubtedly in the
school of Haarlem,
whence he seems to
have returned to Calcar
in 1505, and began
to paint the great altarpiece
in the parish church of St. Nicholas,
representing, in twenty panels, the Life,
Passion, and Triumph of Christ, containing
216 figures, which was completed in 1508.
This shows him to have been a skilful master,
trained in the old school of the Netherlands.
In all probability he then returned
to Haarlem, where he seems to have spent
the remainder of his life, and where he was
buried in the cathedral of St. Bavon. A
Holy Family, attributed to him, is in the
Brussels Museum.—Allgem. Zeitg. Oct. 28,

JUSTUS
or JODOCUS
OF
GHENT, latter
half of
15th century.
Flemish
school. Supposed
by
some to be
identical
with Justus
de Allamagna
or Giusto
d’Alemania,
who painted
an Annunciation
of the
Virgin in the
Convent of S.
M. di Castello,
Genoa, in
1451, but
there is little
if any evidence
of it.
Justus of Ghent, a contemporary of Van der
Goes and of Van der Meire, and perhaps
pupil of Hubert Van Eyck, was called to
Urbino by Duke Federigo di Montefeltro to
paint the portrait of his duchess, and to
decorate his library. In 1470–74 he painted
the Last Supper, an altarpiece for S. Agata,
Urbino, now in the Town Gallery. In the
Palazzo Barberini, Rome, and in the Louvre,
are a series of panels representing poets,
philosophers, etc., supposed to be the decorations
of the library at Urbino. If Justus
painted them, he tempered in his later work
the harshness of the Flemish style with
Italian breadth and freedom. Works attributed
to him: The Last Judgment, Church
of S. Maria, Dantzic; The Nativity, Benediction
of the Holy Sacrament, Antwerp
Museum.—Allgem. d. Biogr., viii. 574; C.

he went to Vienna, and afterwards settled at
Pressburg. His three sons and a daughter

KAUFFMANN, (MARIA ANNA) ANGELICA,
born
at Coire, Switzerland,
Oct. 30,
1741, died in
Rome, Nov. 5,
1807. History
and portrait
painter, daughter
and pupil of
Joseph Kauffmann,
an inferior
portrait painter, who was, at that time,
employed by the Prince-Bishop of Coire.
From 1742 until 1757 the family lived in
North Italy, at Morbegno until 1752, at
Como until 1754, where Angelica, at the
age of eleven, attracted general attention
by her portrait of the Bishop of Como, and
finally at Milan, where she copied the masterworks
of the Lombard school, and painted
portraits. After her mother’s death, she
went with her father to Schwarzenberg,
Vorarlberg, his native place, and assisted
him in decorating the parish church. Soon
after completing this work, she returned to
Italy, and having visited Milan, Bologna,
and Parma, was in Florence in 1762, in
Rome in 1763–64, whence she visited Naples,
then in Bologna in 1765, and studied in Venice
Titian, Tintoretto, and Paolo Veronese.
In 1776 she accompanied Lady Wentworth
to England, where she met with the most
flattering reception. An unfortunate marriage
with an impostor who had passed himself
off for a Swedish Count Horn blighted
her life, although she soon obtained a divorce.
In 1769 she was elected one of the
original members of the Royal Academy, to
whose exhibitions she annually contributed
until 1781, when she married the Venetian
painter Antonio Zucchi, and went to Venice,
and in 1782 to Rome and Naples, where she
was in great favour with the royal family.
On her return to Rome, the Emperor Joseph
II. sought her acquaintance, and gave
her commissions for his gallery. Her numerous
compositions, although weak in
drawing and often monotonous through
repetition of the same subject, especially in
her female figures, show in their warm colouring
and graceful treatment the influence
of Mengs. She painted her own portrait
several times; her bust was placed in the
Pantheon in 1808. Works: Twelve Apostles
(fresco, 1757), Church at Schwarzenberg;

History painter,
pupil of Düsseldorf
Academy under
Cornelius, whom
he followed in 1825
to Munich and continued
his studies
in the Academy
there. Though occupied from 1826 with
several great decorative compositions in the
Palace, the Odéon, and the Hofgarten, Munich,
he did not really learn to paint until
he went to Rome in 1839. In 1847 he was
called to Berlin to decorate the Treppenhaus
(Staircase Hall) of the New Museum,
which occupied him many years; in 1849
appointed director of the Munich Academy.
He was an officer of the L. of Honour, Grand
Commander of St. Michael, Commander of
the Order of Francis Joseph, corresponding
member of the Institute of France, and member
of several academies. Kaulbach made
many designs for book illustrations, among
them those for Reynard the Fox (1846),
Goethe’s Faust, The Gospels, Dance of
Death, the works of Shakespeare and Schiller,

he was one of the greatest modern

represents the new Munich school
during the reign of King Louis of Bavaria.

of the Kit Kat Club, and his Beauties at
Hampton Court, are examples of his facile
and meretricious style and corrupt taste.
That he was the leading portrait painter of
his day shows the low state of art at the
time. “Where,” says Walpole, “he offered
one picture to fame, he sacrificed twenty to
lucre.” The National Portrait Gallery contains
fifteen portraits by him, including Addison,
Congreve, Watts, Wren, James II.
(1685), and Lady Russell. Portraits of Addison,
Pope, Dr. Wallis, and of himself,
hang in the Bodleian Library, Oxford.
