he was forced to leave Bologna. After studying the works of the great masters in Rome he returned to Bologna and opened a school in opposition to Guido. Humiliated at his want of success in painting a portrait of the Duke of Mantua, he went to Verona, and died there, some say of poison. Baldinucci calls him another Guido, but though he copied Guido with great success, he had little originality. He was an able engraver. Works: Repose in Egypt (2), Louvre; Miracle of St. Peter, S.

CAPORALI, GIOVANNI BATTISTA, born in Perugia about 1476, died there about 1560. Umbrian school; son of Bartolommeo Caporali, an inferior painter of Perugia (1472-1521); commonly called Bitte or Bitti, an abbreviation of Battista; erroneously called Benedetto by Vasari. Brought up by his father, but went about 1507-8 to Rome, where he became acquainted with Perugino, Pinturicchio, Bramante, and Signorelli, and learned to imitate them. On his return to Perugia in 1519 he was made a decemvir. He was also an architect, and built and decorated with frescos the Villa Passerini near Cortona. A fresco in S. Croce in Gerusalemme, Rome; Virgin and Saints (1492), S. Girolamo, Citta di Castello; Nativity, Duomo, Panicale, and at S. Salvatore, in neighbourhood, are attributed to this painter.—C. & C., Italy, iii. 360; Ch. Blanc, École ombrienne; Vasari, ed. Mil., iii. 597.
