ZUCCHEBELLI, or Zuccarelli, Fbancesgo, h. at Pitigliano, near Flo- rence, 1702; d. 1788. Tuscan School. He first painted history, but afterwards landscapes, which he studied under Paolo Anesi, at -Florence, then at Borne with Giovanni Maria Morandi, and Pietro Nelli. He established him- self in Venice, and visited England in 1752 ; and here in 1768 he became one of the original members of the Boyal Academy. He was more excel- lent in his early works ; latterly success made him careless : his later works are cold, unharmonious, and artificial in composition. He returned to Florence in 1778, where he was still indebted to the patronage of English gentlemen. Though an inferior painter, Zucche- relli was so fashionable in London, that Wilson could barely earn a living. Zuccherelli etched some plates.
