He was more especially a portrait-painter, but he painted also battles, and he made many good copies of the pictures of Giordano, of that class which have been sold in England and elsewhere as originals. The same has happened also, according to Dominici, with some of his copies of Solimena. He painted at Naples and at Rome. Works. Home, vault of the church of San Francesco di Paola : Sorrento, Chiesa del Carmine, the Virgin en- throned, with many Saints. AVERARA, Giovanni Battista, of Bergamo, he d, Nov. 10, 1548, in the prime of life, of the bite of a dog. Venetian School. In the character of his landscapes, and in his colouring, he seems to have taken Titian for his model. He was particularly excellent in his landscape backgrounds: he painted almost exclusively in ^esco. {Muzio, Tassi,) AVIANI, an architectural painter of Vicenza of « the early part of the 17th century.

AVOGADRO, PiETBO, a painter of Brescia of the early part of the 18th century. He was the pupil of Pompeo Ghiti, of Brescia, but followed the Bolognese, with the addition of the livelier colouring of Venice.

Avogadro's master-piece is, perhaps, in the church of St. Joseph, the Martyrdom of Santi Grispino and Grispiniano. AZZOLINI, Mazzomni, or Asoueni, Gio Bebmabdino, a clever Neapolitan painter, and modeller in wax, who settled at Genoa about 1610.

His works somewhat resemble those of his friend and companion Lanfranco; he was employed also with Guido and Do- menichino in the church of San Gre- gorio, at Rome, and he assisted Albani at the Verospi Palace, where he executed two of the frescoes of Polyphemus and Galatea.
