(McUvofiOf Passeriy VtUoL) GUINACCIA, Deodato, b, at Na- ples about 1510, living 1580. Neapoli- tan School. A Messinese painter, the principal scholar of Folidoro da Gara- vaggio, whose picture of the Nativity, in the Chiesa dell' alto Basso, he finished. In the church of the Gonfratria de Pel- legrini is a Trinity by Guinaccia (1577), painted completely in the style of Foli- doro; and in San Salvatore de' Greci is the Transfiguration by him ; besides some few other works, well drawn, and remarkable for natural truth and force. (Hackert.) GUISONI, Fermo, pfidnted 1540-68. Lombard School. A native of Mantua, and one of the best scholars of GiuHo Bomano, from whose cartoons he painted the Gall of St. Peter and St. Andrew, in the dome of the cathedral at Mantua. In Sant' Andrea is an original picture of the Crueifiidon by Guisoni. IMOLA, Innocenzio da, the name by which Innocenzio Francucci is com- monly known, b. at Imola 1494, d. at Bologna about 1550. Bolognese School. He studied first under Francia, with whom he was placed in his fifteenth year, and later in Florence under Ma- riotto Albertinelli, and he eventually be- came a zealous admirer of the works of Raphael; he has borrowed entire figures from the works of that painter in his own compositions, and appears to have constantly made him his model. Innocenzio settled finally in Bologna, where he is now best seen. His works resemble those of Francia and the earlier works of Baphael, to whom some are probably even now attributed. Innocenzio was modest and retired, and led a secluded life. Works.
