OANDOLFI— GAROFALO. 69 Ke was also a student of the works of the Carracci, and devoted some time to the Venetians, at Venice. He painted several pictures for the churches at Bologna, and other cities in Italy, and was considered one of the principal painters of his time. {Lanzi.) GABBIERI, Lorenzo, called H Nepote dei Carracci, b. 1580, cL 1654. Bolognese School. He studied in the school of Lodovico Carracci, and re- presented the most austere and dismal snbjects, without the sombre force of Iiodovico and Caravaggio. Works, Bologn a, chapel of San Carlo, a* Bamabiii, the Plague of Milan. Fano, at the Filippines, St Paul restoring the Dead Touth to life. Mantua, San Maurizio, the Martyrdom of Sta. Feli- oita and her seven Sons. (Malvasia,) GARBO, Raftaellino del, b. at Flo- rence, 1466, d. 1524. Tuscan School. The son of Bartolomeo del Garbo, and the scholar of Filippino lippi, whom he assisted in the Minerva, at Rome. He was a careful and graceful painter in the earlier portion of his career; but afterwards a numerous fa- mily reduced him to poverty, and a reckless indifference to his art Works, Florence, Academy, the Re- surrection of Christ (formerly at Monte Oliveto), considered the painter's mas- ter-piece. Cestello, refectory of the convent, the Miracle of the Loaves, &o, firesco. Rome, Sta. Maria sopra Mi- nerva, ceiling of the chapel of St Tho- mas Aquinas. Munich, Gallery, the Virgin, with San Bernardo and other Saints. Berlin Museum, a Madonna and Child, with Saints, and three other subjects. Louvre, the Coronation of the Virgin. (Vatari,) GARGIUOLI, DoMENico, called MiGco Spadaro, b. 1612, d. 1670. Nea- politan School. The scholar of Aniello Falcone, the master of Salvator Rosa. Gargiuoli was a good landscape-painter, and represented also historical subjects in small and in large, as in the Cer- tosa and other churches at Naples* He painted a picture of the insurree- tion of Masaniello ; and a representa- tion of the Plague of 1656. He was also an architect {Dominici.) GAROFALO, Benventjto Tisio, called Gabofalo, b, in the Ferraresej 1481, d. at Ferrara, 1550. Ferrarese School. He studied under several masters, first under Domenico Den- netti, at Ferrara; then with NicoolO Sorriani, at Cremona; and under Lo- renzo Casta, at Mantua. He was en^ gaged by Raphael, in 1508, to assist in the Vatican frescoes, and he remained so occupied for some years, when he returned to and settled in Ferrara, where he became the Capo Scuola. He acquired much of the Roman School, and has been called the Raphael in miniature; his colouring is, however, hot, his outline hard, and his ezeca> tion dry; his composition formal and symmetrical rather than dramatic ; but his pictures, especially the smaller, are executed with great care, and the figures are in a full and large style in form, yet his works are crude in effect, and have much of the qtuUtrocentiamo, or that want of harmony and tone which characterises the fifteenth century pain- ters generally. He painted much with the two Dossi for Alfonso I., of Ferrara, at Belriguardo and elsewhere. The surname of Garofalo arose from the circumstance of his marking his pic- tures with a gilliflower (clove-pink), as a monogram. He was blind the last few years of his life. Works, Ferrara, Gallery, the Tri- umph of the New Testament over the Old ; and other works : San Francesco, the Slaughter of the Innocents, fres- coes (1519-24) ; and a large altar-piece, representing Christ Betrayed : Sant' Andrea, an altar-piece : Palazzo del Magistrate, frescoes. Venice, Academy, Madonna in the Clouds. Rome, the
