CASTRO— CAVALLINO. 43 Naples, and at Sorrento, where at Sant' Aniello, the Sposalizio, the Annuncia- tion, and the Archangel Michael expel- ling Lucifer from Paradise, are his principal works. He was a celebrated picture restorer. {Dominici.) CATENA, ViNCENZio, b, at Venice, about 1470, d. about 1532. Venetian School. Accounted amongst the scho- lars of Gio Bellini, who at first painted in the severe manner of that master ; his later productions are more broadly treated, in the manner of Giorgione. He painted some excellent portraits and cabinet pieces, by which he ac- quired a great reputation during his life-time. Works. Venice, Academy, the Flagel- lation of Christ; Madonna and Child, with St Francis, and St. Jerome ; San Girolamo; Sant' Agostino: Manfrini Gallery, Adoration of the Kings. Ber- lin Museum, Madonna and Saints; Portrait of Kaimond Fugger. {Ridolfi, Zaneiti.) CATI DA Jesi, Pasquale. Boman School. Executed many works in Rome dnring the latter part of the sixteenth century, of which the Martyrdom of St. Lawrence, in fresco, in the church of San Lorenzo, in Panepema, painted for Gregory XIII., is his principal work, showing that he was one of the better followers of the anaton^ical school of Michelangelo. {Baglione.) CATTANIO, CosTANZO, h. 1602, d, 1665. Ferrarese School. He studied nnder Ippolito Scarsellino, and after- wards, with Guide Reni : he was fond of representing soldiers and banditti, to whom he gave a ferocious and bravo- like expression; but he sometimes dis- played the more characteristic delicacy of the school of Guide, in his rehgious pieces. Works. Ferrara, Church of San Giorgio, the Flagellation, and the Ecce Homo: Santo Spirito, the Annuncia- tion. (Baruffaldi.) CAVAGNA, Gio. Paolo, b. in the neighbourhood of Bergamo, about 1550, d. May 20, 1627. Venetian School. He studied first at Venice, in the school of Titian, and became after- wards a pupil of Gio. Battista Moroni, at Bergamo. He was a good portrait- painter, and also painted history, much in the style of Paul Veronese, and little inferior to that master : he excelled as a fresco-painter. His son Francesco, called Cavagnuola, was likewise a painter of considerable merit. Works. Bergamo, Santa Maria, Mag- giore, the Assumption of the Virgin ; the Nativity ; Esther and Ahasuerus : Santa Lucia, the Crucifixion, with many Saints, in Sto. Spirito, and other chnrchs. {Tassi.) CAVALLINI, PiETBO, b. at Borne, and died at an advanced age about 1344. Boman School. He was archi* tect, Mosaic-worker, and painter, and was the contemporary, if not the pupil, of Giotto, whom he assisted in the Mosaic of theNavicellcL, in St. Peter's at . Bome. He executed also some original Mosaics, in the Basilica of San Paolo, and in Santa Maria, in Traste- vere. He painted some frescoes at Florence, Orvieto, and Assisi, of which there are still remains, and as they are inferior to those of Giotto, it is not im- probable that he was an older painter ; and he may, as Vertue suggests, have beeen the Petrus Romanus Civus of the inscription on the shrine of Edward the Confessor, in Westminster Abbey, 1279. Works, Assisi, San Francesco, the Crucifixion. Bome, Santa Maria, in Trastevere, the life of the Virgin. (Vasari,) CAVALLINO, Bernardo, b, at Na- ples, Dec. 10, 1622, d. 1656. Nea- politan School. A pupil and imitator of Massimo Stanzioni, but Bubens was his model for colouring. He painted sacred and profane subjects on a small
