John Bellini, Marco Basaiti, and Vittore Carpaccio, were the three principal painters of Venice of their time. Carpaccio is distinguished by the uniform general excellence of all departments of his pictures in accord- ance with the peculiar development of his art in his time; but he belongs strictly to the quattrocentiati. Some of his works are in tempera. A Benedetto Carpaccio painted in 1537—41. Works, Venice, Academy, the Pre- sentation in the Temple, and eleven other pictures, from various churches and religious houses, eight representing the History of St. Ursula (1495), others illustrating the Miracles of the Cross, &c, San Vitale, an altar-piece.

He painted n^any excellent portraits at Bologna; and applied himself with great industry at Parma, to the study and copying of the works of Corregio. Da Carpi executed several frescoes in company with Garofolo after the return of the latter from Rome, and several independently for the Duke Ercole II. of Ferrara ; a sexrcs of the Princes of £8te at the palace of Copario, and others.

CARPIONI, GiUMO, b. at Venice, 1611, d. at Verona, 1674. Venetian School. A pupil of Padovanino. He painted historical subjects, and also bacchanalian scenes and capricci. His works are usually of a small size : he was a good portrait-painter, and etched several plates. {Orlandi.) CARRACCI, Agostino, b. at Bologna, August, 1559, d. at Parma, March 22, 1601. Bolognese School. His father was a tailor ; he was placed first with a jeweller, and then by the advice of his cousin Lodovico with Prosper© Fon- tana, and afterwards with Domenico Tibaldi, and Cornelius Cort, with the latter of whom he paid particular at- tention to engraving, with which he was always' more occupied than paint- ing. Agostino was the most active teacher in the Academy until 1600, when he accompanied his brother to Rome; he stayed there, however, a short time, and then entered the ser- vice of the Duke Ranuccio of Parma. Agostino was the most learned of the Carracci,hewas also the best colourist; and he ranks amongst the best en- gravers of his time. The Communion of St. Jerome, by him, is one of the most important pictures in the Bo- lognese Gallery. He painted very few pictures. Antonio Cabbacci, b. at Venice, in 1583, was the son of Ago- stino : he died at Rome, in 1618. In the Louvre is a picture of the Deluge by him.
