Roman School. A favourite scholar of Andrea Sacchi, and a rival in that school of Carlo Haratta, at Bome, who with Garzi maintained the credit of the Acade- micians against the more showy and expeditious MachinisU, Giro Ferri and Bomanelli, of the school of Fietro da Cortona. Garzi painted also land- scapes and architecture. Works. Eome, Sta. Maria del Po- polo, the cupola of the Capella Cibo : San Giovaimi in Laterano, the Prophet Joel. Naples, Sta. Caterina. Pescia, the cathedral. {PmcoU.) GATTI, Bernabdo, called II Soi- ABO, from the occupation of his father, b, 1522, d, 1575. Lombard School. An able scholar of Correggio, and one of the best of his imitators ; according to some critics, he combined all the chief qualities of the greatest cinquecento masters ; but it is the want of origina- lity, or some peculiar excellence, which has hindered his name from emerging from the second rank. He completed the tribune of Santa Maria di Com- pagna, at Piacenza, left unfinished by Pordenone, and Vasari has re- marked that the whole appeared to be by the same hand. Soiaro is claimed by Cremona, by Vercelli, and by Pavia. Works. Cremona, the cathedral, the Assumption of the Virgin: refectory of the Padri Lateranensi, Miracle of the Loaves and Fishes, 1552: San Sigismondo, Flight into Egypt: San Pietro, the Nativity.

Cremona, Sant' Agatha, the Martyrdom of St. Sebastian : San Pietro, Death of St. Cecilia. {Lanzi.) GAULLI, Gio. Battista, called Ba- ciccio, b. at Genoa, 1639, d. 1709. Koman School. He studied at Bome, in the school of Bernini, who directed GanlU's attention to painting, and he executed many extensive works for the churches there, of which the ceiling of the Gesilk is the most celebrated. He was also a good portrait-painter. He belongs to the school of the Afacchi- nisti. (Pascoli.) GELL^, Clauds, called Ci^ude LoRBAiN, Le Lobrain, and Db Lor- raine, b. 1600, d. Nov. 23, 1682. This great landscape-painter, though a na- tive of France (he was bom atCh&teau de Chamagne, near Charmes,in the Vos- ges), may be enumerated among the painters of Italy. He paid but one visit to his native country during his long life, in 1625-7; when he was employed in some architectural paint- ing at Nancy. His parents were very poor, and Claude was placed with a baker and pastry-cook. The cooks of Lorraine were at that time celebrated ; and Claude travelled in company with some of them to Rome, where he en- gaged himself as domestic servant with Agostino Tassi, the landscape-painter, who had been a scholar of Paul Bril. This is Claude's own story, as handed down to us by his friend Sandrart, who published it in Claude's lifetime (1675). Tassi's occupation led to the
