known, by whom he was instructed in the elements of art. He afterwards studied at Venice the works of Tintoretto and Paolo Veronese. Accord- ing to Lanzi, Friuli has not produced a greater genius than Carnio since the time of Pordenone. The composition of his historical subjects is in- genious and novel, and his design lofty and bold. His colouring, especially in his carnations, is tender and harmonious. Some of his best works at Udine have been much injured by retouching. The best preserved is his ' St. Thomas of Villa- nuova ' in Santa Lucia. He painted many easel pictures and portraits for the private collections at Udine. He was living in 1680.

CARNOVALE, Fra. See Cobeadisi.

CAPiNOVALE, DoMENico, was, according to Vidriani, a native of Modena, where he flourished about the year 1564. He excelled in painting architectural views, with figures, which he intro- duced ^^th great propriety. He was also a reput- able architect. A specimen of his style may be seen in Rosini, plate xciiL Wonderful things are related of his skill in architectural painting, and of the Ulusion produced; the parallels are "to be found in like stories recorded of Zeuxis and Parrhasius.

CABNULI, Fra Simoxe da, was a Franciscan monk of Genoa. He flourished about the year 1519, and painted several pictures for his convent, two of which, representing ' The Last Supper,' and ' The Preaching of St. Anthony,' possessed great merit; they are dated in 1519. His manner, with respect to his figures, is not quite divested of the dryness that prevailed at his time ; but he painted architectural designs and bird's-eye views with small figures which are estimable for their aerial perspective.

CARO, Francisco, was the son of Francisco Lopez Caro, and bom at Seville in 1627. He received his first instructions from his father, but afterwards went to Madrid and entered the school of Alonso Cano. According to Palomino his principal works are the pictures of 'The Life of the Virgin,' in the chapel of San Isidoro in the church of St. Andrew, and the celebrated ' Porciuncula,' in the church of San Francisco at Segovia, both of which show considerable talent, and sustain the reputation of the school of Cano. He died at Madrid in 1667.

CARO DE TAVIRA, Juan, a Spanish painter, who flourished in the 17th century, was a native of Carmona and disciple of Zurbaran. He died young, but his early promise procured him the cross of Santiago from Phihp IV. None of his works remain.

He lived in the 16th century, and was the author of a ' Coronation of the Virgin, with Saints ' (amongst whom is St. Mercuriale), signed and dated 1512, and now in the Communal Gallery of Forli.
