He painted, originally, miniature, and be- eame the rival of Mengs and Batoni, at Rome: he excelled chiefly as a colonrist The family of the Gaetini at Rome, possess some of his works, and in the Palazzo Cesarini is a Ve- nus and Ascanius.

Bolognese School. Studied first under Bartolom- meo Passerotti, and later, in the school of Ludovico Carraeci.

( Grespi. ) CAVEDONE, Jacopo, b. at Sassuolo, in the Modenese, 1577, d. at Bologna, 1660. Bolognese School. An able scholar of the Carraeci. In his best works, he imitated successfully the colouring of Titian; his later works are inferior, owing to his many misfor- tunes ; he died in a state of extreme indigence. Wofka, Bologna, Academy, the Vir- gin and Child in glory, San Petronio and other Saints, his master - piece, painted in 1614 ; San Pietro Martire : San Paolo, the Nativity and the Adora- tion of the Magi.

Venetian School Pupil of Matteo Ponzone. In his flowing outline and gorgeous draperies, he seems to have taken Paul Veronese as his model ; his colouring is rich, but too positive, the middle tints having disappeared in some of his pictures, perhaps owing to the practice of paint- ing on dark grounds. He painted his- toiy, sacred and profane, landscapes, genre; and cabinet-pieces, gallery-pieces, and altar-pieces ; and was distinguished for a surprising facility of execution. In the Church of the Ascension at Ve- nice is the Adoration of the Magi, by Celesti ; but he is now nowhere better seen than in the Gallery at Dresden. Works. Bacchus and Ceres; Sam- son delivered into the power of the Philistines ; the Murder of the Inno- cents ; and the Adoration of the Golden Calf. (Boschini.)

Cerquozzi was a cele- brated genre and battle painter; he painted also fruit and flowers. Cer- quozzi has also the surname of deUe Bambocciate; he was a complete and successful imitator of Peter Xiaar; in his style of colouring, he belongs to the tenebrosi.
