Tuscan School. A painter first accurately noticed by Dr. Forster ; some frescoes by him on the north wall of the Campo Santo, at Pisa, have hitherto passed and been engraved as works of Bufialmaoco. They represent some chief events from the Creation to the Deluge ; and evince an earnest feeling for sacred subjects, combined with a simple and cheerful treatment of the ordinary incidents of . life in the detail. Still, as compositions on a whole, they are in every case artificial, constrained, and wanting in dramatic truth ; perspective is wholly disregarded. In colour, they are be- yond their time, and also show much technical skill; they belong to the earliest Italian frescoes. On the same wall is a Coronation of the Virgin, but little more than the original design is now visible. Pucdo was employed at the rate of fourteen gold florins the month. {Ciampi, Lasinio, Fonter.) PUUGO, DoMENiGO, b, at Florence, 1475, d, 1527. Tuscan School. A scholar of Bidolfo Ghirlandigo, and the friend and assistant of Andrea del Sarto. His colouring is good ; but his outline undecided, and, as Vasari has remarked, lost in the ground of his pictures. He frequently painted from the designs of Andrea, for whose works Puligo's Madonnas, or Holy Families, have sometimes been mistaken. The Pitti Palace, at Florence, and the Colonna and Borghese Galleries, at Home, contain several of Puligo's pic- tures. He painted also portraits, which, says Vasari, were all beautiful and faithful. Works. Florence, Santa Maddalena de' Pazzi, the Madonna and Child, with John the Baptist, and other Saints. Castello d' Anghiari, Deposi- tion from the Cross. {Vasari,} PULZONE, SciPiONE, called Gae- TANO, or SciPioNE DA Gaeta, d. aged 38, about 1590. Roman School. Scholar of Jacopino del Conte; he painted some altar-pieces, but is more distin- guished as a portrait-painter, in which he attained a great name. His heads are highly elaborated, but expressive and animated ; the hair, the eyes, and the accessories are finished with great minuteness ; so much so, that his por- traits appeared living, says Baglione. Works. Rome, San Silvestro, at Monte Cavallo, the Assumption : church of the Gesik, a Pietli: Borghese Gal- lery, a Holy Family. (Baglione.) QUAINI, Linoi, h. at Bologna, 1643, d. 171 7. Bolognese School. The son of Francesco, and a scholar of Guer- dno, and afterwards of Carlo Cignani, whom he assisted, and (says Lanzi) his works cannot be disting^iished from Cignani's. He afterwards united with Marco Franceschini, with whom he painted at Bologna, at Genoa, and at Rome; the designs for the most part being the work of FranceschinL Lnigx also, like his father, who was a scholar of Agostino Mitelli, excelled in paint- ing flowers, armour, and landseape. {Len2i.} RAMENGHI, Babtolomeo, called II Baonacavallo, from his birth-place, h. 1484, d. 1542. Bolognese School. He was first a pupil of Francia; he subsequently studied under Raphael, at Rome, where he assisted in the Vati- can ; and on his return to Bologna^ he
