 SB CARDUCCIO— CAROTTO. Federigo Zncchero, whom he assisted in the great cupola at Florence, and afterwards accompanied to Madrid in 1585. Cardaccio was many years in the service of the kings Philip II. and III. ; he painted a great portion of the frescoes in the cloisters of the Esctu rial, and executed many other works in Spain. His brother Yincenzio, who had shared his labours in Spain, suc- ceeded him as painter to Philip III. in 1600. Cean Bermudez states that the arts were greatly advanced by these painters in Spain. Yincenzio educated a numerous school, and published a book of Dialogues on Painting, in Spanish. He died 1636. His principal work is the series on the Life of St Bruno and other Saints, in the Carthusian convent of Paular. GARIANO, Giovanni, b. at Bergamo, about 1480, living 1510. Yenetian School. Ridolfl calls him a follower of Giorgione; he painted portraits and historical subjects, and excelled in the former : his best works are at Bergamo; in San Gottardo, is the Yirgin and Saints, which, says Tassi, Zuccarelli pronounced one of the finest pictures in Italy ; it was painted about 1510. (Tassi.) CARLONI, Gio. Battista, 6. at Genoa, 1504, d. 1680. The brother and assistant of Giovanni, and also the pupil of Passignano ; he completed the unfinished works of his brother, and executed extensive works in fresco, in the cathedral of the Guastato at Genoa, and other churches. He is considered superior even to Giovanni in design and in the delicacy of his fresco tints, with the same brilliant effect of colouring. The painters of this name are numerous in the Genoese School. Giovanni Batista had twenty-four children by his wife Niccoletta Scorza, and several of his sons painted. {Baitu) CARLONI, Giovanni, 6. at Genoa, about 1590, d, at Milan, 1630. Genoese School. Studied at Florence under Domenico Passigpiano and painted in a good style many frescoes in Milan, Genoa, and other towns, imitating the works of Tavarone, whom he surpassed in colour and in the correctness of his outline. CARNOYALE, Fea, or Bartolomeo Coradini of Urbino ; living 1485. This early Umbrian painter was probably the pupil of Fra Jacobo of Yenice, of the same confraternity. He was the best painter of Urbino of his time; Bramante studied his works, and Pun- gileoni supposes him to have been the master of Giovanni Santi, the father of Raphael. Fra Camovale was unques- tionably one of the better quattrocento masters. Works. Milan, Brera, the Yirgin and Child, with Saints. This is the portrait of the Duchess of Urbino, Battista Sforza, with her Child; the Duke is kneeling on her left, in the act of adoration ; painted 1472 ; it is engraved in Mosini, {Marchese.) CAROSELU, Angelo, b, at Borne, 1585, d, 1653. Roman School. Was an imitator of Michelangelo da Cara- vaggio. He painted chiefiy portraits and small figures, was an admirable copyist, and, says Passeri, "a good restorer of old pictures." The same authority says " he painted some pic- tures for Charles I. of England.'* CAROTTO, Gio. Francesco, b, at Yerdna, 1470, d, 1546. Yenetian School. Studied under Liberala and Andrea Mantegna at Mantua; and painted in the same severe style of form, with the addition of a warmer colouring. He advanced in the free- dom of his style with the rapid develop- ment of art in his time ; combining Yenetian, Lombard, and Roman ex- cellences of colour, light, and shade, and form. He excelled in landscape, like many other Yenetians subsequent
