A BIOGRAPHICAL DICTIONARY OF


date is correct it must have been painted while he was in the East.

ANGELI, Battista. See Angolo.

ANGELI, FiLlPPO DE LiANO d', was called Ii, Napoletano, from his being sent to Naples when he was very young. He was bom at Rome towards the end of the 16th century, and was the son of an artist who was employed under Sixtus V. He excelled in painting landscapes and battles, and, according to Baglioni, was much employed in ornamenting the palaces and villas at Rome. He frequently painted architectural views, with a number of figures arranged and composed with great ingenuity. He died at Rome during the pontificate of Urban VIII., about 1640. The Louvre has a ' Satyr and Peasant ' by him, and his own portrait is in the Uffizi at Florence.

ANGELI, GinLio. See Angolo.

ANGELI, GiULio Cesabe, born at Perugia about 1570, studied in the school of the Carracci, at Bologna. He was more remarkable for his colour than design, and excelled rather in the draped than the naked figure. There is a vast work by him in the oratory of Sant' Agostino in Perugia, where he died in 1630.

ANGELI, Giuseppe, a Venetian painter, scholar of Piazzetta, whose style he imitated, was born about 1709. He painted cabinet pictures, and some altar-pieces. His heads have considerable ex- pression, and his extremities are well drawn. The painting in the cupola of San Rocoo at Venice is one of his best works. He executed numerous decorations in the churches and public buildings of Padua and Rovigo, as well as of Venice. He died at Venice in 1798. In the Louvre there is a ' Little Drummer ' by him.

ANGELI, JIarco. See Angolo.

ANGELI, Niccol6, an Italian engraver, flour- ished about the year 1635. He was a disciple of Remigio Canta-Gallina, and, in conjunction with his instructor, engraved, from the designs of Giulio Parigi, a set of plates representing the festivals which took place at Florence on the occasion of the marriage of the Prince of Tuscany.

ANGELICA, a-miniature painter of Tarragona, executed, in 1636, the illuminations of the cathe- dral choir-books with great neatness and skill. ANGELICO, Fra (Giovanni da Fiesole). See FlESOLE.

ANGELTNI, Scipione, wlio was born at Perugia in 1661, was a skilful painter of flowers ; in his pictures they appear newly plucked, and sparkling with dewdrops. He painted a great number, which he sold to dealers, who exported them to England, France, and Holland. He practised at Rome ; and died at Perugia in 1729.

ANGELIS, Pierre. See Angillis.

ANGELL, Helen Cordelia, ne'e Coleman, was born in 1847, and early distinguished herself as a brilliant and original painter of flowers and kindred subjects, which she was among the first of modern English painters to treat with breadth and vigour. She first exhibited at the Dudley Gallery in 1866. She became a member of the Institute of Painters in Water-Colours, but seceded in 1879, on being elected an associate exhibitor of the Society of Painters in Water- Colours, of which she afterwards became a member. She married, in 1875, Mr. W. T. Angell, and died March 8, 1884. Her last picture was exhibited at the Dudley Gallery in the winter of 1889. 40

ANGELO, Michael. See Buonabroti.

ANGELO, Pedro. See Angel.

ANGELO DEL MORO. See Angolo del Moro.

ANGELUCCIO, a scholar of Claude Lorrain, was living in 1680, but died young. He is mentioned as an artist of considerable talent ; hia works are perhaps sometimes mistaken for his master's.

ANGIER, Paul, an engraver, of whom little more is known than that he resided in London about the year 1749, and that he was instructed in the art by John Tinney. He was chiefly em- ployed in engraving for the booksellers, and executed several small plates, principally land- scapes, in a neat style, but without much taste. His best print is a ' View of Tivoli,' after Mouclieron. There is a print, dated 1749, by him, of a view of Roman ruins, after Pannini, very neatly engraved.

ANGILLIS, Pierre, (wrongly called Angelis), was born at Dunkirk, in 1685. After learning the rudiments of design in his native town, he visited Flanders, and resided some time at Antwerp, where he was made a master of the Guild of St, Luke in 1715-16. He painted landscapes with small figures, into which he was fond of introducing fruit and fish. He came to England about 1719, remaining till 1727, when he set out for Italy. On his return he settled at Rennes, where he died in 1734. His style was a mixture of those of Teniers and Watteau, with more grace than the former, and more nature than the latter.

ANGIOLILLO, called Roccadirame, was a Neapolitan, and flourished about the year 1450. He was a disciple of Antonio Solario, called 11 Zingaro, and, according to Dominici, painted several pictures for the churches at Naples. One of his most esteemed works was a picture in the church of San Lorenzo, representing the ' Virgin and Infant Jesus, with St. Francis, St. Anthony of Padua, and St. Louis.' He died about the year 1458.

ANGLUS, Benjamin. This artist is mentioned by Heineken as the engraver of two emblem- atical subjects, one after Antonio Tempesta ; the other is probably from his own design, as he adds the word fecit to his name.

ANGOLO DEL MORO, Battista, (commonly called Angeli, and occasionally Anoelo and Agnolo), was born at Verona, about the year 1512. He was a scholar of Francesco Torbido, called II Moro, whose daughter he married, and whose name he added to his own. He improved his style by studying the works of Titian, and painted several pictures, both in oil and fresco, for the churches at Verona, and sometimes in compe- tition with Paolo Veronese. In Sant' Euphemia he had painted a fresco of ' Paul before Ananias,' which, on the demolition of the wall on which it Wis painted, was sawn out with great care, and removed to another part of the church. Hia colouring is more vigorous than that of his in- structor, and his design more graceful. Such is his picture in Stefano of 'An Angel presenting the Palms of Martyrdom to the Innocents.' He also painted much in Venice, Mantua, and Murano. We have several slight but spinted etchings by this master, in which the extremities of the figures are drawn in a very masterly style. In conjunction with Battista Vicentino, he engraved a set of fifty landscapes, mostly after Titian, which are executed in a bold, free style.
