CESBIION Marino was in poetry. Pupil of his father, an obscure painter ; went, when about thir- teen years old, to Rome, where he was employed by several painters engaged in decorating the Vatican. His ability in sketch- ing attracted the attention of Pope Gregory XIII., who took him under his protection. Clement VIII. continued his patronage, made him superintendent of the decorations in S. Giovanni in Laterano, and knighted him. He enjoyed a great reputation in his time, | and was enriched and honoured by the ten popes under whom he lived ; but posterity has failed to accord him the rank in art which he enjoyed when living. The taste of the time was for glitter and ostentation, and Cesari, who had great facility of execu- tion, satisfied the popular expectation with- out troubling himself with much study. He had a well-attended school at Borne, and [ was at enmity with Caravaggio and Annibale Carracci. Among bis pupils was his brother Bernardino, who assisted him in many of his works. Works : Expulsion from Eden, Diana and Actseon, Louvre ; Roman Battle, Dresden Gallery ; Betrayal of Christ, Nymphs and Tritons, Cassel Gallery; Perseus and Andromeda, Vienna Museum ; Rape of Sa- bines, Horatii and Curiatii, Capitol Palace, Rome ; Diana, Capitol Museum, ib. ; Annun- ciation, Lateran Museum, _ ib. ; St. Clara, Hermitage, St. /K Petersburg. The ceiling fres- M^ T) 1 VT cos in the choir of S. Silvestro * * * ** Monte Cavallo, Rome, are among his better works. Ch. Blanc, cole napolitaine ; Lan- zi, i. 422 ; Burckhardt, 652, 757.

CESI, BARTOLOMMEO, born in Bo- logna in 1556, died there, July 11, 1629. Bolognese school ; pupil of Gio. Francesco Brizzi, but afterward studied the works of Pellegriuo Tibaldi. He became a good painter, with a manner of his own, marked by suavity and elegance, which served Guido as a model. He succeeded best in fresco, his most noted works being a series of ten pictures illustrating the life of jEneas, in the Palazzo Favi, Bologna. His paintings in oil were only inferior to those of Tibaldi and of Aunibale Carracci. Among the best are the Adoration of the Magi, in S. Do- menico, Crucifixion of SS. Paul and Andrew, in S. Martino Maggiore, Crucifixion in S. Giovanni in Men to, Bologna. Malvasia, i. 239 ; Lanzi, iii. 49 ; Ch. Blanc, Ecole bo- lonaise ; Gualandi, Guida, 28, 50, 70. CESPEDES, PABLO DE, born at Cor- dova in 1538, died there, July 26, 1608. Spanish school ; of a noble family, educated at University of Alcala, studied art in Rome and be- came distin- guished there, where he was called Paolo de Cordova, not only as a painter, sculptor, and architect, but also as a poet and scholar. The Pope conferred on him a canonry in the Cathe- dral of Cordova, and in 1577 he returned to Spain to attend to the duties of his office, finding time, however, for the pursuit of art and literature. His most famous work, the Last Supper, is in the Cathedral of Cor- dova, but much faded and injured. Viardot, Peintres de 1'Espagne, 119 ; Stirling, i. 321 ; Ch. Blanc, ficole espagnole.
