deceive the most experienced. Of his own com-
positions, tlie most meritoriouB was his picture of
'The Decollation of St. John,' in the church of San
Donate at Cremona. One of his pictures is signed
Luca Catapan, 1597.
CATTERMOLE, Charles, a nephew of George Cattermole, exhibited tirst in the year 1858. Most of his pictures appeared at the Royal Institute of Painters in Water-Colours, of which he became an associate in 1864, and a full member in 1870. He was also a member of the Society of Bj itish Artists, and a frequent contributor to its exliibitions. He painted figure subjects both in oil and water- colours, and, follo^ving the example of his uncle, drew a few illustrations for books. He died in 1900.
CATTERMOLE, George, a water-colour painter, was bom at the village of Dickleborough, near Diss, in Norfolk, in 1800. At an early age his attention was directed to the delineation and study of the architectural antiquities which par- ticularly abound in his native county ; and when only sixteen years old, his name appeared as one of the illustrators of Britten's ' English Cathedrals.' These pursuits determined, as it were, the scene upon which his imagination was after- wards to work ; and he soon began to people the quaint remains of feudal times with incidents of history or romantic adventure appropriate to each. In 1830 he travelled into Scotland for the purpose of making sketches of localities mentioned in tlie writings of Scott ; many of these have been pub- lished in various forms, and a large number of them are widelj' known as illustrations of the ' Waverley Novels.' He illustrated the ' Historical Annual,' devoted to the history of the civil war, written by his brother the Rev. R. Cattermole ; and contri- buted illustrations to ' Barnaby Rudge,' and other of Dickens's novels. Cattermole was from 1833 to 1850, in which j-ear he withdrew his name from the roll of the institution, a member of the Societj' of Painters in Water-Colours, and during that period was a constant exhibitor. He died in 1868, at Clapham Common. He was a member of the Royal Academy of Amsterdam, and of the Belgian Society of Water-Colour Painters.
The following are some of his principal works : At South Kensington — The Silent "Warning. 1S37. Hamilton of Bothwelthaugh preparing to ehoot the Kegent Murray. 1843. Lady Macbeth. 1850. CeUini and the Robbers. Macbeth and the Murderers. The Armourer's Tale. Interior with Figures and Armour. {In the Edinburgh ^'ational Gallery.)

CATTERMOLE, Rev. Richard, an elder brother of George Cattermole, bom in 1795, was a water- colour painter, and exhibited drawings of interiors at the Water-Colour Society from 1814 to 1818. He afterwards gave up art, and entering the Church, became Vicar of Little Marlow, Bucks. He died at Boulogne in 1858.
CATTINI, GiovASNi, an engraver, was born at Venice in 1725. He was a pupil of Faldoni, and executed plates of some antique statues which are at Venice, and a set of fourteen large heads, after Piazetta. He also engraved some portraits of Vene- tian nobles, and one of Francesco Zuccarelli, the artist ; as well as st^me of the statues in the Giustiniani Gallery, Venice, in the manner of Claude Mellan, with a single stroke.
CATTON, Charles, was bom at Norwich in 1728, and apprenticed to a coach-painter in London. He afterwards became a member of the St. Mar- tin's Lane Academy, and in 1784 served the office of Master of the Company of Painter-Stainers, the fraternity of English artists in olden time. He was the first herald-painter who designed the sup- porters to coats of arms with any resemblance to nature, which probably obtained for him the honour of being appointed coach-painter to his Majesty, George III., who also nominated him one of the foundation members of the Royal Academy in 1768. He exhibited at the Academy chiefly land- scapes, and occasionally composition pictures and animals. He died in London in 1798. In St. Peter Mancroft, Norwich, there is a picture by him of 'The Angel delivering St. Peter.'
CATTON, Charij:s, the son of the Royal Acade- mician of the same name, was born in London in 1756, and studied in the Academy Schools. His first efforts were devoted to architectural subjects. In 1788 he published a series of drawings of animal life engraved by himself , and shortly afterwards, in conjunction with Edward Burney, he illustrated an edition of Gay's 'Fables.' In 1804 he emigrated to America, where he died in 1819. In the South Kensington Museum there are four small drawings of animals by him.
CAUCIG, Fbanz, an Austrian historical painter, was bom at Gorz in 1762. He studied the first principles of art at Vienna, and went, aided by a grant, in 1781, to Bologna and to Rome, where he spent seven years. In 1791, he was enabled in the same way to visit Mantua, and to reside for upwards of five years at Venice. He returned to Vienna in 1797, and in 1799 became professor of historical painting at the Vienna Academy, and, in 1820, Director of the School of Art, which office he held until his death. Specimens of his paint- ings, which were numerous, may be seen at Prague, and in the Belvedere and other galleries at Vienna. He was clever as a draughtsman, and has left us upwards of 2000 historical designs. His colouring, however, was feeble and indifferent. He died at Vienna in 1828.
CAUKERCKEN, Cornelis van, was a Flemish engraver and printseller, bom at Antwerp in 1626. He engraved several plates of portraits, and other subjects, from the works of Rubens, Van Dyck, and other Flemish painters. They are executed with the graver in a stiff and laboured style, but are not without merit. The following are his best prints :
PORTRAITS. Peter Snayers, painter of battles ; after D. van ffeil. Tobias Verhaect, painter ; after Otto van Veen, Robert van Hoeck, painter ; after G. Coqves. Peeter Meert, portrait painter ; after C. Caukercken. Charles van den Bosch, Bishop of Bruges. Charles II., King of England ; the figure by Caukercken, the rest by Hollar.
VARIOUS SUBJECTS. The Dead Christ in the lap of the Virgin; after
Annibale Carracci.
