PACCHIA, GIROLAMO DEL, born at Siena, Jan. 4, 1477, died after 1535. Sienese school; son of a Hungarian cannon founder, Giovanni, called Del Bombarde from his occupation, who died in 1478. Girolamo, who was educated by his mother as an artist, was in Rome in 1500, and in Siena in 1515. In 1533 he was implicated with Pacchiarotti in political troubles, and two years afterwards left the city. His earliest extant works, a Coronation of the Virgin, in S. Spirito, and a Madonna with Saints, in S. Cristoforo, Siena, are in the manner of Raphael, though treated with the originality of an independent talent. The colour in the last-named picture is powerful, brilliant, transparent, and softly fused. His Annunciation (1518), Siena Academy, is an inferior work, which shows the influence of Bazzi and Francia Bigio. In 1518 Pacchia competed with Bazzi and Beccafumi in painting frescos in S. Bernardino, and clearly outstripped the latter. He repeated his Annunciation on one wall, and designed a Nativity on another. Other works: Holy Family and a Madonna, Siena Academy; S. Bernardino da Siena, Madonna with Angels, Old Pinakothek, Munich; Holy Family, Hermitage, St. Petersburg; Madonna, National Gallery, London.—C. & C., Italy, iii. 380; Vasari, ed. Mil., vi. 428; ed. Le Mon., iv. 163; vi. 38; xi. 151, 184; Burckhardt, 559, 689; Lübke, Gesch. ital. Mal., ii. 395.


PACCHIAROTTI, GIACOMO DI BARTOLOMMEO, born at Siena in 1474, died at Viteccio about 1540. Sienese school; this artist figured largely in the civic convulsions of Siena in the 16th century, being now imprisoned for treason, and now outlawed, though he was finally restored to civil rights, and died peacefully in his bed. All that remains of his art work are an Ascension and a Visitation, in the Siena Academy, and a Visitation, in the Florence Academy. These works want compactness in arrangement and simplicity in action. Most of the pictures attributed to him in European galleries are now recognized as the work of Girolamo del Pacchia.—C. & C., Italy, iii. 377; Vasari, ed. Le Mon., xi. 151, 172; ed. Mil., vi. 415; Burckhardt, 689; Lübke, Gesch. ital. Mal., ii. 393.



PACHECO, FRANCISCO, born at Seville in 1571, died there in 1654. Spanish school; pupil of Luis Fernandez; visited in 1611 Toledo and Madrid, where he saw the works of the great Spanish and Italian painters, and on his return to Seville
