 BUONCONSIGLI— CAGNACCL 33 Painted 1497-1514. Venetian School. He painted in the style of the Bellini School, and lived chiefly at Venice. Works. Vicenza, San Bartolomeo, a Piet^ <fec. : Oratorio de* Turchini, the Virgin and Child, with Saints. Montagnana, the Cathedral. {Bidolfi, Mosca.) BUONI, SiLVESTBO DE, slso Buono, the son of Buono de' Buoni, and the pupil of Lo Zingaro, and the Donzelli. He died about 1480, distinguished for his beautiful works and for his pious life. His pictures are well coloured and delicate and effective in their light and shade, much in the taste of Peru- gino and the Umbrian School. This painter, says Dominici, is often confounded with Silvestro Morvillo, called Bruno, who lived a century later than Buono. Works. Naples, San Pietro Martire, the Assumption of the Virgin : Santa Bestituta (now united with the Dome) the Virgin and Ch^ld with the arch- angel St. Michael and Sta. Bestituta ; Gallery of the Studj, Death of the Virgin. Church of Monte Oliveto, the Ascension of Christ {Dominici.) BUREINI, Giovanni Antonio, b. at Bologna, 1656, d. 1727. Bolognese School. PupU of Canuti and of Pasinelli, he studied and imitated the works of Paul Veronese, and painted much in fresco. He belongs to the Pittori di Macchina, or Machinists, of ,the eighteenth century, distinguished more for the bravura, or facility of their works, than for their excel- lence. Works. Bologna, Palazzo Albergati. BUSCA, Antonio, b. 1625, d. 1686. Milanese School. Pupil of Ercole Procaccini whom he assisted at Turin. Busca executed several works in Milan, where he enjoyed a considerable repu- tation. BUTI, LoDOVico, painted about 1590. Tuscan School. A pupil of Santo di Titi. He studied also the works of Andrea del Sarto. Works. Florence, Ognissanti, the Ascension of Christ: UflBzj Gallery, the Miracle of the Loaves. (Baldinucci.) BUTTINONE, Bernaedino, of Treviglio, painted 1484, d. about 1520. Milanese School. Painter and archi- tect. He was the pupil of Vincenzo Civerchio. Lomazzo speaks of his ex- cellent knowledge of perspective, on which he left a treatise in manuscript. Works. Milan, San Pietro in Ges- sate, chapel of Sant' Ambrogio. CACCIA, GuaLTBLfto, called II MoNCALVo, b. in Montabone, in the Novarese, 1568, d. about 1625. Lom- bard School. He was more celebrated as a fresco painter than in oils; his backgrounds have the unusual merit of a skilful treatment of the landscape, in which he imitated Paul Brill. His de- sign seems to have been influenced by that of the Boman School; but his heads frequently resemble those of Sab- batini, whom* Lanzi supposes to have been his master. {Tiraboschi, Lanzi.) Works. Moncalvo, Chiesa dei Con- ventuali. Milan, Sant' Antonio Abate, the titular Saint, with St. Paul. Novara, San Gaudenzio, Deposition from the Cross: San Paolo, the Cupola. Orsola, Maddalena, and Francesca, the daughters of Caccia, painted cabi- net pictures and altar-pieces, which, somewhat resemble the works of their father, whom they also assisted in his pictures. CAGNACCI, or Canlassi, Gijido, b. at Arcangelo, 1601, d. 1681. Bolog- nese School. A pupil of Guide Beni, and an imitator of his later manner. He lived and worked much in Ger- many, principally at the court of Leo- pold I. At Bologna, in the Zambeccari Palace, are some of his pictures ; some are in the Ducal Gallery at Modena. D
