CALLOW, John, an English water-colour landscape painter, was bom in 1822. He was an associate of the Water-Colour Society, and died at Lewisliam in 1878.
CALOMATO, Bartolommeo, was a painter of the Venetian school who flourished in the 17th century. He was remarkable for his small pictures representing scenes from town and country life, enlivened with figures well composed and graceful in expression.
CALTHROP, Claude, was a brother of the celebrated actor, John Claj-ton, and a pupil of John Sparkes, and of the Royal Academy where he gained the Gold Medal for historical work. He completed his art education in Paris, and always painted pictures of a dramatic or anecdotal tend- ency, which interested the public. He died sud- denly at the beginning of the year 1893, aged 48.
CALVAERT, Dionysius, also called Dionisio FiAMMlNGO, who may be considered to have been a Eolognese rather than a Fleming, was an eminent painter who was born at Antwerp about 1540. His name was originally written Caluwaert, and is so entered in the Antwerp 'Liggeren' for 1656-57. He had made some proficiency in the art in his own country under Ohristiaen van Queecborne, when he visited Italy, and came to Bologna possessed of some talent as a landscape painter. To perfect himself in the study of figure drawing, he first frequented the school of Prospero Fontana in 1570, and afterwards became a disciple of Lorenzo Sabbatini, to whom he was of no in- considerable utility in his works in the Vatican. On leaving Sabbatini he occupied some time in studying the works of Raphael at Rome, and returned to Bologna about 1574, and there established that celebrated school where Albani, Domenichino, and Guido received their first instrnotion in art, and from which they subsequently passed into that of the Carracci. An excellent colourist, intelligent in perspective, and a correct and grace- ful designer, he was regarded at Bologna as the restorer of their school, which had at that period fallen into some degree of decadence. There is something of mannerism in his style, and a certain air in the movement of his figures that is strained and awkward. He was an excellent instructor of the youth of his time, and attended to the studies of his pupils with the greatest diligence. He also produced a considerable number of small paintings of sacred subjects on copper for the use of monks and nuns in their cells. Jlany of his most important works have been engraved. He died at Bologna in 1619, and was buried in the church of the Servites in that city. Most of the churches of Bologna possess paintings by this artist ; there are also :
Bologna, Gallery, Madonna and Child, with St. Anthony; Christ appearing to the Magdalen; The Flagellation. Florence, Fitti Palace, St. Jerome; Vffizi, Assumption of the Virgin.
CALVERT, Charles, a landscape painter, was bom in 1785 at Glossop Hall, in Derbyshire, of which estate his father was at that time agent for the Duke of Norfolk. He began life as a cotton- merchant, but soon relinquished that occupation for the fine arts. His time was much taken up in teaching; but he passed his leisure hours among the lakes, painting both in oil and water-colour. He was instrumental in founding the Royal Manchester Institution, and obtained there the Hey- wood gold medal for the best oil picture painted hy an artist residing within forty miles of Manchester, and also the silver medal for water-colour drawings. He died at Bowness in Westmoreland, in 1852.
CALVERT, Edwabd, painter and draughtsman, was bom in Cornwall about 1803. His father was a naval officer, and he himself served for a time as a midshipman. He studied painting under a west- country artist named Johns, married at an early age, and, coming to London, entered the Royal Academy schools. He began work in the capital as an illustrated draughtsman upon wood. His diffidence led him to constantly destroy his blocks and plates, so that impressions from them are very scarce. His admiration for Greek art led him to visit Greece, whence he brought back many studies. A worshipper of Blake, whose acquaintance he had made in his youth, he became the intimate friend of John Linnell, and of his son-in-law, Samuel Palmer. He died on the 14th of July, 1883. Among his prints the most remarkable are perhaps the ' Christian ploughing the Last Furrow of Life,' and the ' Cider Press,' both strongly reminiscent of Blake.
CALVERT, Frederick, is known as a contributor to the 'Arcliaeolosiical Journal,' in which he illustrated the tumuli in the Troad, and other antiquities. In 1830 he published ' Picturesque Views in Staffordshire and Shropshire,' with thirty-nine plates. Three water-colour drawings by him are in the South Kensington Museum.
