lost mosaics in San Crisogono in the same city. Several paintings at Florence are attributed to him ; they are in the churches of SS. Annunziata, Santa Lucia, and San Marco. He died about 1364.

CAVALLINO, BeKiN'ardo, an ItaUan painter, born at Naples in 1622, was instructed by Massimo Stanzioni, and studied the works of Andrea Vac- caro, Rubens, and Poussin. He died in 1658. His paintings are small and of a tender character. Two of them are preserved at Naples — an ' Im- maculate Virgin' at the church of San Lorenzo Maggiore and a 'St. Cecilia' at that of San Gio- vanni di Porta Alba.

CAVALLUCCI, Antonio, was born at Ser- moneta in 1752, and was perhaps the most admired painter of the modern Roman school after A. R. Mengs and Pompeo Batoni. The Duke of Gaetani sent him, at his own expense, to Rome, where he studied under Pozzi and Lapis ; he afterwards went to Parma, and studied the works of Cor- reggio. He painted several important works for the Duchess of Gaetani, amongst them ' Christ appearing to St. Theresa,' ' Anatolio Gaetani con- quering the Saracens,' and the portraits of the Pope and of Prince Rospigliosi. Other paintings by him may be found at Catania, Rieti, and Rovigo ; at Pisa, where is his ' St. Bona distribut- ing his Wealth to the Poor, and taking the Re- ligious Garb ; ' at the Palazzo Cesarini at Rome, his ' Venus with Ascanius ; ' and in the Basilica of Loreto, his ' St. Francis of Paola.' He died at Rome in 1795.

CAVARAZZI, Bartolommeo, also called Cres-CENZI, was bom at Viterbo about the year 1590, and was a pupil of Cavaliere Roncalli, called Pumarancio. He had made great progress under that master at Rome, when he was taken into the protection of the noble family of the Crescenzi, whence his acquired name. He painted many pictures for his patron, and was also employed at several of the public edifices of Rome, where he died in the prime of life in 1625. Of his paintings we note :

CAVAZZONI. Fbancesco. was born at Eo'osn:i in 1559, and is known to have been living up to 1612. He was first the pupil of Bartolommeo Passarotti, but afterwards attended the school of Lodovico Carracci. Less distinguished than Guido and Domenichino, he nevertheless held a respectable rank amongst the followers of that great school. His principal works are :

Bologna. 5. Maddaleiia di } Magdalene washing the feet of J'ia S. Donato. j Christ. „ .?. Cecilia. The Crucifixion. '^' ^Monir '" } St- John the Baptist preaching.

CAVAZZONI ZANOTTI, Giovanni Pietro, though of Bolognese origin, was born in Paris in 1674. He was sent when young to Bologna, where he became a scholar of Lorenzo Pasinelli. Under that master he acquired an agreeable tone of colouring, a mellow pencil, and an intelligent acquaintance with the principles of chiaroscuro. He painted several altar-pieces for the churches at Bologna, of which the most esteemed are the ' Incredulity of St. Thomas,' in the church of San Tommaso dal Mercato ; ' The Resurrec- tion,' in San Pietro , 'The Nativity,' in La Puriti , and a large picture representing the ' Ambassadors from Rome swearing fidelity to the Bolognese,' in the Palazzo Pubblieo. He travelled extensively in France, Germany, and Italy, and resided during a great part of his life at Cortona, where he also distinguished himself bj' several pictures which he painted for the churches, particularly ' Christ ap- pearing to the Magdalene,' ' Christ bearing His Cross,' and 'The Murder of the Innocents.' Zanotti was a laborious and intelligent writer on art, the most considerable of his numerous publications being his ' Storia dell' Accaderaia Clementina di Bologna,' published in two volumes, quarto, in 1739. He died at Cortona in 1765. CAVE, F. Mobellan de la. See Mobellan. CAVE, Henbv, an architectural draughtsman, born in 1780, is best known by his ' Antiquities of York,' in forty plates, drawn and etched by him- self, and published in 1813. He died at York in 1836.

CAVE, James, an architectural draughtsman, illustrated Milner's ' Historj' of Winchester,' pub- lished in 1809. He occasionally exhibited drawings at the Roj-al Academy.

CAVEDONE, Jacopo, an eminent but unfortun- ate painter, was born at Sassuolo in the Modenese, in 1577. Driven, when a boy, from his home by the severity of his father, he sought a 8ub.sistence by becoming a page to a nobleman, a great lover of art, who possessed a valuable collection of pic- tures. The young Cavedone had employed him- self in his moments of leisure in copying some of them with a pen, and the copies appeared to his master such extraordinary efforts of untaught genius, that he showed them to Annibale Carracci, and introduced the young artist to liim, who encouraged the youth to persevere, gave him some of his drawings to copy, and soon after- wards received him into his school. The pro- gress of Cavedone under such an instructor was surprising. He also studied under Passarotti, and then went to Venice, where he applied himself to study the works of Titian, and acquired that admirable style of colouring in which he may be said to have surpassed every other painter of his school. On his return to Bologna, he commenced the display of his talents with such eclat, that some

of the pictures he painted for the churches were
