He was a scholar and coadjutor of Taddeo Zuccaro, at Borne, whither he had gone with Yignola. He possessed great faciUty of execution, but his works are extremely mannered ; Lanzi, however, praises him for his portraits, in which, according to Guido, says Malvasia, he was inferior only to Titian ; he likewise excelled in the nude. He was also an engraver of some ability ; he used the emblem of a spar- row instead of his name. Passarotti established' a school at Bologna, in which, among many others, he had Agostino Carracci for a scholar. He brought up four sons as painters, of whom, Tiburzio attained some distinc- tion ; he died in 1612. There is a Vir- gin in glory by Tiburzio in the Academy of Bologna. Works, Home, San Paolo alle Tre Fontane, the Martyrdom of St. Paul. Bologna, San Pietro, the Adoration of the Magi : San Giacomo Maggiore, the Virgin with Saints.

The pupil for a short time of Domenichino, with whom he hved at Frascati. He painted chiefly for private collections, and frequently birds and game, and other genre^ and still- life subjects, with occasional half figures; he executed several for the Costaguti family; his purely figure- pieces are rare. Passeri was poet as well as painter, and possessed a good knowledge of the principles of art. He wrote The Lives of the Painters, Sculp- tors, and Architects who practised at Rome, and died from 1641 to 1673 inclusive, pubUshed at Bome in 4to. 1773. It is one of the best series of Italian art-biographies. Passeri was President of the Academy of St Luke, which possessed his Portrait of Domenichino, for whom Passeri had an intense veneration ; the Portrait is now in the Gallery of Florence. Giuseppe Passeri, the distinguished scholar of Garlo Maratta, who died in 1714, was Giambatista's nephew. PASSIGNANO, Cav, Domenico Gbesti da, b. at Florence, about 1558, d. at Florence, May 17, 1638. Tuscan School. He was the pupil of Naldini, and of Federigo Zuccaro. He resem- bles most Zuccaro in his manner ; he assisted that painter in the frescoes of the cupola of Florence. Passignano also accompanied Zuccaro to Venice, where he studied the works of Paolo Veronese and Tintoretto, and where he fully developed his showy but super- ficial style. He returned to Florence in 1589, and was first Professor of the Academy there; Lodovico Garracci is said to have studied with him. He painted with such extraordinary bravura and rapidity that he acquired among the painters of Florence the nickname of Paas-ognuno (out-strips every one). He was employed at Bome by Glement VIII., who decorated him with the order of the Abito di Gristo. He was the Mend of Gigoli, and considerably aided that master in improving the colour of the Florentine School. Works, Passignano, church of the Monks of Vallombrosa, a Glory.
