In his best works, he imitated successfully the colouring of Titian; his later works are inferior, owing to his many misfor- tunes ; he died in a state of extreme indigence.

Venetian School Pupil of Matteo Ponzone. In his flowing outline and gorgeous draperies, he seems to have taken Paul Veronese as his model ; his colouring is rich, but too positive, the middle tints having disappeared in some of his pictures, perhaps owing to the practice of paint- ing on dark grounds. He painted his- toiy, sacred and profane, landscapes, genre; and cabinet-pieces, gallery-pieces, and altar-pieces ; and was distinguished for a surprising facility of execution. In the Church of the Ascension at Ve- nice is the Adoration of the Magi, by Celesti ; but he is now nowhere better seen than in the Gallery at Dresden. Works. Bacchus and Ceres; Sam- son delivered into the power of the Philistines ; the Murder of the Inno- cents ; and the Adoration of the Golden Calf. (Boschini.)

Cer- quozzi has also the surname of deUe Bambocciate; he was a complete and successful imitator of Peter Xiaar; in his style of colouring, he belongs to the tenebrosi.
