ZELOTTI— ZUCCHERO. 206 tares by Zelotti, in the Sala del Con- siglio de' Died, in the Ducal Palace at Venice, have been engraved by Valen- tine Le Febre as the works of Paul. In the cathedrid at Vicenza he repre- sented the Conversion of St. Paul, and Christ in the Fishing Barque, much in the style of Paul Veronese; but his principal work is the series commemo- rating the history of the Obizzi family, in the former villa of that count at Gataio, painted in 1670. Zelotti's re- putation is less than he deserves, owing to his compositions for the most part having been executed for small provincial places and private families. He is one of the most dis- tinguished of the native painters of Verona. ( Vasarif Bidolfi, Dal JPozzo, Zarteiti.) ZEVIO, Aldighieri da, of the Veronese, living 1376-9. Paduan School. This painter, in coi^junction with D'Avanzo Veronese, decorated the chapel of San Giorgio de' Lupi, and the chapel of San Felice in the church of Sant' Antonio, at Padua, for which Aldighieri was paid 792 ducats. The seven first frescoes are probably by Aldighieri, and represent scenes from the life of St James the Elder. The works of San Giorgio were first dis- covered by Dr. Forster in 1837 ; they are all described as compositions fuU of life and expression, of powerful and decided drawing, and rich in cha- racteristic motives; they have the force and truth of the works of Giotto, with even a more defined indi- viduality, and a well-expressed drama- tic power of representaion. A Stevano da Zevio, the scholar of Angelo Gaddi, also distinguished him- self at Verona in the commencement of the fifteenth century. There are some works by Stefano at Verona, in San Niccolo, Santa Maria Consola- trice, and in Sant' Euphemia. ( Va- writ Forster,) ZOPPO, Masco, painted 1468-98. Bolognese School. He was the scholar first of lippo Dalmasio, then of Squarcione, and is considered the founder of the School of Bologna. His works are very inferior to those of his fellow-scholar Mantegna, but dis- play all the peculiarities of the School of Padua or Squarcione in a deterio- rated degree. His figures are unrefined, harsh, and heavy ; and his drapery in coarse, ill-arranged folds. On the other hand, the accessories are finished with great care. His principal picture is the Virgin enthroned, with the Infant Christ and four Saints, marked Opera del Zoppo da Bologna ; it is now in the sacristy of the church of the Collegio degli Spagnoli, San Clemente, at Bo- logna. Another principal work, formerly in the church of San Giovanni Evange- lista at Pesaro, a Madonna enthroned, with Saints, is now in the Berlin Gid- lery ; it is inscribed, Marco Zoppo da Bologna pinxit MCCCCLXXI. in Fe- nexia. At Venice, in the Manfrini Gallery, is a Madonna and Child, with Cherubs, marked Opera del Zoppo cH Squarcione. The Gallery of Bologna also possesses an altar-piece attributed to Zoppo. Two other pictures, a Ma- donna and Child ; and Christ praying in the Garden, are in private collections in Bologna; and also a Sant' Appol- lonia in San Guiseppe de' CappuccinL Zoppo is said by Malvasia to have de- corated the fa9ades of houses in Bo- logna.
