Spanish school ; pupil in Cordova of Yaldcs Leal and of Alfaro ; went to Madrid in 1G78, after lie had received minor orders in the church, and became famous for works in the Alcuzar and the Escorial, and at Sala- manca and Granada. After the death of his wife lie entered into full orders. Though a fair painter, Palomino is best known as the historian of the artists of Spain, a work in two folio volumes, entitled "El Museo Pictorico y Escala Optica" (Madrid, 1715- 24).

PALTRONIERI, PIETRO, called II Mi- randolese dalle prospettive, born at Bologna in 1073, died there in 1741. Bolognesc school. Architecture painter, pupil of F. Cassana, and of Marcantonio Chiarini (1652- 1730), whose manner he adopted. Many of his pictures, in which the figures were fre- quently supplied by Ercole Graziani, may be seen in public buildings at Bologna, Rome, and Vienna ; they usually represent arches, fountains, aqueducts, temples, and ruins, tinged with a certain reddish colour. In the Dresden Museum is a specimen with Ruins of Palaces. Lanzi (Roscoe), iii. 176. PAMPHILUS, painter, of Amphipolis in Macedonia, pupil of Eupompus, about 377 B.C. He became the head of the Sicyonic school, and did much more for it than even his master. His pupils, among whom were Apelles and Melanthius, paid him a talent for a course of study extending over twelve years. His scientific attainments enabled him to found a school based on the exact knowledge of proportion and perspective ; and he did for painting what Polycletus did for sculpture. Among his pictures were the Battle of Philios, Victory of the Athenians, and Ulysses in his Ship. Pliny, xxxv. 75, 76; Plut. Arat, 13 ; Quin., xii. 10, 6 ; Snid., v.; and Schol. Arist.
