BONZI, PiETRO Paolo, called H Gobbo da Cortona and II Gobbo de' Gar- racci, d, about 1640. Bolognese School, a pupil of Annibal Carracci, and a good landscape-painter. BORDONE, Cav. Paeis,6. atTrevigi, 1600, d, Jan. 19, 1570 (1671). Venetian School. A pupil of Titian. He stu- died also the works of Giorgione, and painted in the style of Titian with such success, that a doubt might easily arise as to whether the work were by the master or the pupil. He painted in Trevigi, Venice, and in France, which country he appears to have visited in 1638, by the invitation of Francis I. Though not inferior to the best Vene- tian masters, in historical works, Bor- done's greatest success was in portrait painting ; his female portraits are femi- nine and graceful : he painted the most beautiful women of the French court, and had the art, says Bidolfi, of making these works appear fancy pictures rather than portraits. Works. Venice, Academy, the Pre- sentation by the Fisherman of the King of St. Mark to the Doge; Paradise: Manfrini Palace, Madonna and Child. Florence, Pitti Palace, the Eiposo. Louvre, two portraits, and another pic- ture. Berlin Gallery, two portraits and three other pictures. Bridgwater Gallery, London, the Biposo. {Za- netti.) BORGHESE, Pietbo.
