Orvieto (1321-1329), and afterward at Assisi. A series of small panels in tempera, originally parts of one picture, in the Ranghiasci Brancaleone collection, Gubbio, Lave been assigned to him. These have all the character of the Urbinese school at the close of the fourteenth century. The figures are long and slender, but the heads are oblong and the features small. The colour of the flesh is rosy, and the general tone gay and pleasing.—C. & C., Italy, ii. 192; Meyer, Künst. Lex., ii. 59; Cibo, 41.
ANGIOLILLO DA ROCCADIRAME,
flourished about 1450, died about 1460 (?).
Neapolitan school; pupil of Antonio Solario,
and his assistant in many of his works.
Painted altarpieces for churches in Naples.—Lanzi,
ii. 12; Ch. Blanc, École napolitaine.

ANGUISCIOLA, SOFONISBA, born in
Cremona
about 1535,
died in Genoa
in 1622 (?).
Lombard
school; scholar
of Bernardino
Campi and
of Bernardino
Gatti; attracted
attention at
Rome about
1554 by her
portraits, one of the earliest of which is
perhaps her own likeness of that year in the
Vienna Museum. She frequently represented
herself in different situations,—with brush
and palette, Uffizi, Florence; seated at the
clavichord, Althorp, England; at her easel,
Keir, Scotland; playing chess with two of
her sisters, Raczynski Gallery, Berlin. In
Spain, where she resided for several years
and was raised to the rank of first lady in
waiting to the Infanta Clara Eugenia, she
painted portraits no longer extant of members
of the royal family, and stood high in
favor with Philip II., who made her splendid
presents and assigned her a considerable
pension on the occasion of her marriage and
return to Italy. Until the death of her husband
she lived at Palermo, where she painted
some religious pictures of merit inferior to
her portraits, and later, having remarried,
she settled at Genoa, where she was admired
and followed for her talents and accomplishments.
Her five sisters, Elena, Lucia, Minerva,
Europa, and Anna Maria were all
painters.—Meyer, Künst. Lex., ii. 64; Vasari,
ed. Mil., vi. 498; Ch. Blanc, École lombarde;
Wessely.
