Pictures by him are in Santa Maria in Trastevere, and San Giacomo degli Incurabili at Rome. He was a distinguished portrait-painter. {Bag- Uone,) GRANACCI, Francesco, b, at Flo- rence 1469, d. 1544. Tuscan School. A fellow student with Michelangelo under Ghirlandsgo, and the intimate friend and imitator of that great artist, in the new style first fully developed by him in the "Cartoon of Pisa." There are some good pictures by Gra- nacci in the Pitti Gallery, and in that of the Uffizj; also a Madonna and Saints, and a series of small pictures in the Academy representing the Life of Sant' ApoUonia. In his Assump- tion of the Virgin, formerly in San Pietro Maggiore, now in the Rucellai Palace, the style of Michelangelo is closely followed ; in the same collection is a Holy Family, one of his most charming works. (Vasarif Gaye.) GRANDI, Ercole, called Ercole da Ferrara, b, 1401, d, 1531. Ferrarese School. A scholar of Lorenzo Costa, whose manner he followed. His chief works were the frescoes in the church San Pietro Martire in Bologna, now demolished ; some portion of the fres- coes are preserved in the Tenara Pa- lace. Two pictures by Grandi are in the Dresden Gallery, Christ on the Mount of Olives, and Christ bearing His Cross ; and there is a Conversion of St. Paul by him in the National Gallery, London. (Barvffaldi,) GRIMALDI, Gio. Francesco, called n Bolognese, b. 1606, d. at Borne 1680. Bolognese School. A scholar and a re- lative of the Carracci, a good portrait- painter, and correct designer of the figure, though he preferred landscape painting, and latterly devoted himself chiefly to this branch. He was em- ployed in the Vatican, and the Gallery at Monte Cavallo by Innocent X. ; and also in 1648-50 by Louis XIV. and the Cardinal Mazarin in the Louvre. On his return to Rome he was also much patronised by Alexander A^II. and Cle- ment IX. There is a series of land- scapes by Grimaldi in the Colonna Gallery; although inferior to Annibal Carracci in execution, they are works of superior merit in this comparatively- neglected department of the art in Italy. Grimaldi also etched many good plates ; he engraved some of Ti- tian's landscapes. (Malvasia.) GUARDI, Francesco, b, at Venice 1712, d, 1793. Venetian School. Painted views of Venice in the style of Canaletto, whose scholar he was ; but though the imitator of his master, he did not attain the architectural preci- sion of Canaletto, and his execution is loose. In the Louvre are seven pic- tures by Guardi. GUARIENTI, Pietro, d, about 1765. Bolognese School. A Veronese, and a scholar of J. M. Crespi. He was made Director of the Dresden Galleiy by Augustas III., and wrote
