 PANETTI— PAOLO. 119 Lanzi, a great improvement is percep- tible in Panetti'B later works, from the example of the works of Garofolo (a former pnpil), who had returned to Fexrara with fdl the experience brought from the school of Baphael, at Bome. Works, Ferrara, church of San Nic- eolo, the Deposition fmra. the Gross: San Francesco, the Visitation: the Angustines, Santf Andrea: Santa Ma- ria in Yado, the Visitation. Berlin Gallery, an Entombment, marked — Dcminia. Panetu Optu. {Baruffaldi.) PANIOALE, Masoxjno da, 5. about 1403, d, about 1440. Tuscan School. He was the scholar of Lorenzo Ghi- berti and of Gherardo Stamina ; and, like Lorenzo and his own contemporary Masaceio, was one of the great pioneers of the sat, who led the way to the glorious cinquecento. Masolino's fres> coes in the Brancacci Chapel hold a prominent position amongst the works of the day which marked the transi- tion period, from the conventionalities of the quattroeentOy in the beginning of the fifteenth century, to the more positive individualities of the later part. Although Masolino adhered pretty closely to the former prescribed types, his frescoes display great qualities for their time, though by the side of the master-pieces of Masaceio and Filip- pino Lippi. He is sometimes called the master of Masaceio, but of this there is no evidence, and he was appa- rently a younger man. Works. Florence, in Santa Maria del Carmine, Brancacci Chapel, the Preaching of St Peter; the same Apostle healing the Cripple at the Beautiful Gate ; the Baising of Tabi- tha ; and Adam and Eve, or the Fall : Academy, the Virgin adoring the In- fant Christ, with St. Joseph and St. John. Castiglione d'Olona, near Como, frescoes of the Collegiate Church — the Life of the Virgin, with various Sainta ; and the lives of St Lawrence and St Stephen, marked — MasoUmu de Florentia pinxit : in the baptistery of the same church, frescoes from the life of John the Baptist, similar in style, dated 1435. (The above frescoes were only recovered from whitewash in 1843.) {Vasan.) PANNINI, Cav. Gio. Paolo, h. at Piacenza, 1695, d. Oct 21, 1768. Bo- man School. The scholw of Andrea Lucatelli and Benedetto Luti; he painted ruins, landscapes, and archi- tectural subjects with great skill; his ruins were selected chiefly from 'Bome and its neighbourhood; his shadows are generally too dark and red for exteriors ; his figures are numerous and skilfully introduced. Works. Bome, Monte Cavallo, Pa- lazzo Quirinale, two pictures of archi- tecture, &G, Louvre, the Interior of St Peter's, at Bome, his master-piece, painted in 1730, in honour of the birth of the Dauphin, 1729 ; and eight other subjects. {MundUr,) PAOLINI, PiETRO, b, at Lucca, 1603, d, 1681. Boman School. He went early to Bome, where he became a pupil of Angelo Caroselli, and a follower of Caravaggio; he appears also, from his works, to have studied some time in Venice. Paolini repre- sented village festivals and other genre pieces, as well as great historical sub- jects; many of his cabinet pictures are in the private collections at Lucca. In the chturch of San Michele, in that town, he represented the Martyrdom of St Andrew ; and in the library of San Fridiano, St Gregory entertaining the Pilgrims ; his greatest works ; the latter is much in the taste of the magnificent pictures of Paul Veronese. {BtUdinuccif Lanzi,) PAOLO, Maestbo, painted in 1333- 1346.
