to identify him as the painter of such unsigned pictures as a Madonna, dated 1404, at Empoli; Madonna and Saints, dated 1410, church of Monte Oliveto, Florence; Annunciation, S.

LORENZO DA PAVIA. See Fasolo, Lorenzo.
LORENZO DA SAN SEVERINO, born
in 1374, died in (?). Umbrian school; earliest
example, a much injured Marriage of
St. Catherine, dated 1400, in San Severino.
In 1416, with the aid of his brother Jacopo,
Lorenzo decorated the oratory of S. Giovanni
Battista, Urbino, with a Crucifixion, and incidents
in the Baptist's life. The figures in
these frescos are exaggerated in action, lean
to excess, and ill drawn—interesting chiefly
as a link in Umbrian art between the works
of Ottaviano Nelli and Gentile da Fabriano.—C.
& C., Italy, iii. 109; Vasari, ed. Le
Mon., viii. 69.
LORME, ANTON DE, flourished in Rotterdam
about 1640-66. Dutch school; architecture
painter, whose rare works are
masterpieces as regards lighting and perspective.
Style of Pieter Neefs; perhaps
worked also at Delft, as Antonis Palamedesz
painted accessories in several of his pictures.
