BAGLIONE, Cesare, b. at Bologna, about 1550, living 1610. He was the contemporary of the Carracci, and spent some years at the court of Ottavio Famese, duke of Parma, and was afterwards a favourite with the Duke Ranuccio, for whom he executed many works. He painted in fresco with ex- traordinary celerity and great ability, selecting subjects of all kinds, whether religious, serious, humorous, figures, animals, fruit, flowers, or landscape. His fantastic taste occasionally excited the ridicule of the Carracci, but chiefly for the absurdity of his ornamental designs. He was a great humouiist and noted boon companion, and used to say it only required good wine to make good colour. Messer Cesare, says Malvasia, was loved by all who knew him. Works.
