 CALIARI— CAMBIASO. 35 His greatest work perhaps is the Mar- riage at Gana, in the Louvre ; of pro- fane subjects, the Hape of Europa, in the ancient Palazzo della Repubblica, at Venice, is one of the most beautiful. The magnificent architectural back- grounds of the pictures of this painter are said to .have been the work of his brother Benedetto Caliari. Benedetto Caliari and Carlo and Gabriele, the sons of Paolo, are known as the " Heirs " of Paul Veronese, and finished several works under this title. Carlo died young in 1596; Gabriele in 1631, aged 63 ; and Benedetto in 1598, aged 60. Works, Louvre, Paris, several exam- ples, including the great Marriage at Cana, from San Giorgio Martire, Venice. This picture contains about one hun- dred and twenty heads and figures, many of which cure portraits, comprising ^ the principal men of Venice of that time. Venice, San Sebastiano ; Palazzo Beale ; Accademia, Christ Supping with the Pharisee; and thirteen other pic- tures. Verona, San Fermo Maggiore. Vicenza, Santa Corona. Milan, Brera, Baptism of Christ; and others. Berlin Gallery, Madonna and Child, with Angels and Saints; and other works. Munich Gallery. Dresden Gallery. Na- tional Galleiy, <fec. {Bidolfiy Zaneiti.) CALVI, Lazzabo, b, at Genoa in 1502, d, 1606, aged 105. Son of Agos- tino Calvi, who was the first of the Genoese painters to discard gold back- grounds. Lazzaro and his elder brother Pantaleo were the most distinguished of the scholars formed by Perino del Vaga, at Genoa. They painted toge- ther the fa9ade of the Palazzo Doria (now Spinola), at Genoa, which was considered a complete school of design for the human figure. Lazzaro exe- cuted many other works in his long life, at Genoa and elsewhere; but in most of them he was assisted by his brother. He was a jealous and ambi- tious character; Soprani states that he poisoned Giacomo Barzone, a clever young Genoese painter, who promised to become a serious rival to him. CALZA, Antonio, b. at Verona, 1653, d, 1714. Vepetian School. He studied at Bologna, under Cignani; and at Rome, under the French battle-painter, Borgognone; and subsequently distin- guished himself at Bologna for such battle-pieces and landscapes. (Gua- rienti.) CAMASSEX, Andrea, b. at Bevagna, 1602, d. 1648. Roman School. Stu- died under Domenichino and Andrea Sacchi, at Rome. He painted in many of the public edifices at Rome in oil and fresco, and was skilful in land- scape. Works. Rome, The Rotonda, the Assumption of the Virgin ; the Capuc- cini, a Pietii; Baptistery of the Late- ran, the Triumph of Constantine. {Passeri.) CAMBIASO, LucA, called also Lu- chetto da Geneva, 6. at Moneglia, 1527, d. in the Escurial, in Spain, 1585. Ge- noese School. The son and pupil of Giovanni Cambiaso, a good painter. Lueawas a painter of surprising facility and power, and he had much of tlie Roman style. He went to Spain in 1583, with his son Orazio, and there in the Escurial executed extensive works for Philip II., who paid him 12,000 ducats for a fresco of Paradise on the ceiling of the choir of the church of San Lorenzo, probably the largest sum up to that time in the history of modem Art ever paid to the artist for a single work. Works. Genua, San Francesco di Paula; Palazzo iPallavicini ; Palazzo Spinola. Serralba (near Genoa), Pa- lazzo Imperiale, the Rape of the Sabines. The Escurial, the ceiling of the Choir, representing Paradise ; John the Baptist preaching in the Wilder- ness (in oil). {Soprani f Cean Ber- mudez.) D 2
