ANGELI, GIULIO CESARE, born in
Perugia about 1570, died there in 1630.
Bolognese school; pupil of Lodovico Carracci,
whose influence is not very apparent
in his paintings; his drawing, especially of
the nude, is negligent, while composition
and colouring show talent. Works: Madonna
with Saints, Perugia Cathedral.—Meyer,
Künst. Lex., ii. 44.
ANGELI, GIUSEPPE, born in Venice
about 1710, died in 1798. Venetian school;
pupil of Gio. Batt. Piazetta, from whom he
derived his blackish shadows and disagreeable
yellowish tint. His drawing is skilful,
composition vivid, and in his later period
the colouring becomes more light and pleasing,
but is lacking in strength. He painted
a great deal in oil and fresco for the churches
in Venice and neighbouring cities. Works:
Little Drummer, Louvre; Lot and Daughters,

ANGELI, HEINRICH VON, born in
Oedenburg, Hungary, Feb. 8, 1840. History,
genre, and portrait painter, pupil in
1854 of the Vienna Academy, then of Gustav
Müller, and with Leutze went to Düsseldorf
in 1856. In 1859-62 he was in Munich,
and in 1862 settled in Vienna, where he
soon became the favourite portrait painter
of the aristocracy. His portraits are distinguished
for truth, an air of high breeding,
and elegance of arrangement, and his genre
pictures are full of dramatic life. Medal,
Paris, 3d class, 1878. Professor in Vienna
Academy since 1876. Works: Mary Stuart

ANGELICO, Fra GIOVANNI, born in
Vicchio in 1387, died in Rome in 1455.
Florentine school; real name Guido or Guidolino
di Pietro; called also Fra Gio. da Fiesole
and Il Beato (the Blessed); may have
studied under Starnina, but was probably
bred with his younger brother, Benedetto,
in the monkish school of miniature. Together
they took the vows in 1407-8, either
at Cortona or at the Dominican Convent,
Fiesole, where they remained until 1409,
when with the brethren who adhered to
Gregory XII. they retired to the Dominican
Convent at Foligno, and lived there and at
Cortona until 1418. The next eighteen
years were passed by Fra Angelico in Fiesole,
after which he spent nine years (1436-1445)
in the Convent of S. Marco, Florence.
From 1445 until his death, with the exception
of three months' (1447) employment in
Orvieto, he resided in Rome, where he
painted frescos in two chapels of the Vatican
for Eugenius IV., and his successor,
Nicholas V. The residence of Fra Angelico
at Foligno during an early period of his
life favoured his peculiar development. At
Assisi, which lies at no great distance from
Foligno, he saw and studied the works of
Giotto, of whose school he may be called a
follower, inasmuch as he exclusively devel-
