Painted at Orvieto, in 1321. Boman School. {DeUa Voile.) BONINI, GiroulMo, called L'An- conitano (of Ancona), Uving 1660. Bolognese School. A pupil, friend, and assistant of Albani, and a good imitator of his style. Works. Louvre, Christ adored by Angels, by St Sebastian, and St. Bo- naventura. BONISOLI, Agostino, b. at Cre- mona, 1633, d. 1700. Milanese School. A pupil of Battista Tortiroli, and Luigi Miradoro ; and he studied the works of Paul Veronese, but painted chiefly portraits, and small religious and his- torical subjects, dispersed in private collections. His principal picture is from the life of St. Antony, in the church of San Francesco, Cremona. {Panni.) BONONE, Cablo, b. at Ferrara, 1569, d. 1632. Ferrarese School. A pupil of II Bastaruolo. He studied the works of the Carracci at Bologna, with such purpose, that he was called eventually the " Carracci of Ferrara." This resemblance is only apparent, says Lanzi, in his smaller, not in his larger, compositions; the Carracci being sparing in their figures, whilst the number of actors, and the richness of the various decorations in Bonone's pictures, di Macchina, grand suppers, and similar festive crowded subjects, have a much greater affinity with the compositions of Paul Veronese. Some of his simpler compositions have been attributed, without hesitation, to Lu- dovico Carracci. Works. Bavenna, Refectory of the Regular Canons of San Giovanni, the Feast of Ahasuerus, the master-piece of his ornamental works. Ferrara, San. Benedetto, Feast of Herod : Re- fectory of the Carthusians, the Miracle at Cana: others in Santa Maria del Vado: San Francesco: Sant Andrea, &G. {Baruffaidi.) BONVICINO, Alessandbo, called n Moretto da JBrescia, b. at Rovato, about 1500, living in 1556. Venetian School. He studied in the school of Titian, and his early works display a close imitation of that great painter. He subsequently endeavoured to ac- quire the majestic character of Ra- phael, and in this supposed or at- tempted union succeeded in attaining a dignified and agreeable style, which places him in the highest rank of painters. His Holy Families, distin- guished for their sentiment of pure devotion, may be ranked among the noblest productions of the Venetian School. His colouring is much less glowing than that of most Venetian painters, bordering on the cold or silvery, but not less harmonious ; some of his pictures are enriched with good landscape backgrounds. Works. Brescia, San Clemente, the Assumption of the Virgin, with St. Cle- ment and other Saints ; Sta. Maria de' Miracoli, San' Giuseppe ; Santi Nazaro e Celso; San Giovanni EvangeHsta, and many other churches and galleries of Brescia. Milan, Conversion of St. Paul. Frankfort, Stadel Institution, Madonna enthroned, with the four doc- tors of the Church. Berlin Gallery, Adoration of the Shepherds; the Vir- gin enthroned in the Clouds, and three
