Lombai-d School. A scholar of Gaudenzio Fer- rari, and at first an imitator of his style, but with less force than his model. He afterwards enlai:ged his style, combining some of the character- istic qualities of Leonardo da Vinci, and the Venetians; and he became one of the principal of the Milanese painters. Works.

LANZANI, Andrea, 6. at Milan about 3645, d. at Vienna, 1712. Lom- bard School. He studied under Luigi Scaramuccia at Milan, and under Carlo Maratta at Rome : but later the works of Lanfranco were his principal models. He painted in an eflfective, showy man- ner. His works are chiefly at Milan : he lived latterly at the Court of Vienna, where he was knighted. {Paicoli.) TjAPPOLI, Gio. Antonio, h. at Arezzo, 1492, d. 1552. Tuscan School. The son of Matteo Lappoli, and scholar of Domenico Pecori, at Arezzo, and J&copo da Pontormo, at Florence, where he became the friend of Perino del Vaga, and of II Bosso. He prac- tised first in Arezzo, then in Bome, whence he was driven by the sack of 1527, and finally settled at Arezzo, where, and in the neighbourhood, he executed works in fresco and in oil. Li Arezzo are still some of his works in the churches, but more in private collections. {Vasari.) LAURATI. [Lorenzetti, Pietro.] LAURETI, ToMMASo, called Sicni- ANO, h. at Palermo about 1520, d. at Bome about 1600. The scholar of Se- bastiano del Piombo, at Bome. He painted chiefly at Bologna, where he lived many years; but also at Bome, whither he was invited by Gregory Xin., to paint the ceiling of the Sala di Constantino in the Vatican.

Bome, the Capitol, a saloon in fresco, the Histoiy of Bi-utus ; the ceiling of the Sala di Constantino. ( Baglione. ) LAUBI, Fnjppo, b. at Bome, 1623, d. 1694. Boman School. The brother of Francesco Lauri, and a scholar of Caroselli. He painted a few altar- pieces, but succeeded best in Baccha- nalian and mythologicsd subjects, with landscape backgrounds. Claude em- ployed him to inseil;" figures in his pictures. In the Louvre are a " Sacri- fice to the God Pan," and " St. Fran- cis of Assisi in Extasy." (PascoU.) LAZZABINI, Gregorio, b. at Ve- nice, 1655, d. at Villabona, 1730. Ve- netian School. He was originally a barber's apprentice, but became the scholar of Francesco Bosa, and forsook the Tenebrous school for one more io c accordance with the historic fame of Venice. Zanetti asserts that his pic- ture at Venice of San Lorenzo Gius- tiniani at San Pietro in Castello, is the finest production of the Venetian School of the eighteenth century. Lanzi terms Lazzarini, for form, the Vene- tian Baphael. - Many of his works were still in the public buildings of Venice in Zanetti's time. He painted the Victories of the Doge Francesco Moro- sini in the Sala dello Scrutinio, in the Ducal Palace.
