CRIVELLI— DAMINI. 53 CRIVELLI, Cav. Cablo, painted 1470-1482. Venetian School. A pupil of Jacobello del Fiore, and a con- temporary of Bartolomeo Vivarini. He belongs to the better quattrocento masters, but excelled in small pictures, in which he introduced landscapes, fruit, ' flowers, and other accessories, with the accurate finish of the Dutch painters : he was a good colourist. He painted in tempera ; and some of his pictures have been mistaken for those of Pietro Perugino. Works. Milan, the Brera, Madonna and Child, with Angels ; his own por- trait, and other pictures ; Madonna di Matelica. Ascoli. Rome, Vatican, Dead Christ. Berlin Gallery, two sacred subjects. CHOCE, Baldassare, 6. at Bologna, 1553, d. 1628. Bolognese School. He painted chiefly in Rome, both in fresco and in oils, and died there president of the Academy of St. Luke. Works. Rome, Chiesa del GesiH; the Chapel of San Francesco ; at San Giovanni in Laterano; San Giacomo degli Spagnuoli; and other Roman churches. {Baritone.') CURRADO, Cav.

A pupil of Spinello Aretino. Some of his works, still at Florence, remain on the Porta San Giorgio, the Madonna and Child, &e. ( Vasari.) DALLAMANO, Giuseppe, b. at Mo- dena, 1679, d. there, 1758. Lombard School. He painted architecture and ornament, chiefly at Turin; he excelled as a colourist. {Bantffaldi.) DALMASIO, Lippo di, called Dppo dalle Madonne, painted from 1376 to 1410. Bolognese School. A pupil of Vitale da Bologna, chiefly distinguished for his pictures of Madonnas, whence his name. His reputation was still great among the painters of Bologna in Malvasia's time, who records the high opinion of Guide and others of the superior sanctity of expression which Lippo embodied in his pictures of the Virgin. He was remarkable for his piety, and such was the popularity, of his Madonnas, that Malvasia says, a man was not considered rich, or com- pletely established, who did not possess one of these pictures. They are now extremely rare, Bologna possessing few known works by Lippo, as in San Do- menico, an altar-piece: in San Paolo, a small Madonna : at the Servi and in the Palazzo Ercolani, a Madonna. DAMIANI, Feuce, called FeUce da Gubbio, painted from 1584 to 1606. Roman School. He is supposed to have studied in the Venetian School, although his works partake more of the Roman taste. Works. Gubbio, in the church of Sant' Agostino, the Baptism- of that Saint: San Severino, Madonna de' Lumi: Recanati, Martyrdom of St. Paul. {Lanzi.) DAMINI, PiETRO, ft.atCastelfranco, 1592, d. 1631. Venetian School. A pu- pil of Gio. Battista Novell).
