AVELINE, PiEBBE Alexandre, 'tne younger,' a French designer and engraver, was bom in Paris in 1710. He was a nephew of Antoine Aveline. He was instructed in the art by Jean Baptiete de PoiUy. His drawing, though not very incorrect, is stiff and formal. It is, however, to be regretted that he did not make a better selection of subjects for the exertion of his talent, and that be employed a great portion of his time in trifling and insig- nificant sketches. He died in Paris in 1760. The following are his prints most worthy of notice :

AVELLI. See Xanto Avelli.

AVELLINO, GlULio, or Giacinto, d', called II Messinese, was a Sicilian, bom at Messina about the year 1645. He is said to have been a scholar of Salvator Rosa, at Naples, and painted landscapes in the grand style of that master. After visiting Rome, Venice, and other important cities of Italy, he settled at Ferrara, where landscape painting, since the time of Dossi, had been almost abandoned, and was much employed by the nobility of Ferrara, as well as of Cremona, and it is in those cities that his works must be sought. He enriched his landscapes with ruins, architecture, and figures, spiritedly designed, and boldly touched. Avel- lino's works are highly prized and much sought sifter. He died in 1700, at Ferrara.

AVELLINO, Onofrio. Accordmg to Dominici this painter was born at Naples in 1674; he studied under Luca Giordano, and subsequently with Francesco Solimena. He afterwards passed some years at Rome, where he painted the vault of the church of San Francesco di Paola, which is considered his best perfomiance. In the church of Santa Maria di Monte Santo is an altar-piece by thia master, representing a subject from the Life of St. Albert. He died in 1741. Avellino's copies of the works of his masters were so successful that they have passed for originals.

AVELLO, Franc. Santo. See Urbino, Rov. da.

AVEMANN, Wolf, a native of Nuremberg, was a pupil of Hendrik van Steenwijk, and painted interiors of churches and other buildings in the manner of his master. After the year 1620 he left Nuremberg and went to Hesse, where he met with a violent death.

AVERARA, Giovanni Battista, (or Averabia, or Avernaria,) was born at Bergamo about f'le year 1508. The name of his instructor in art is not known, but he formed liis style of colouring from the works of Titian. Hidolti mentions some fresco paintings by this master in favourable terms, particularly two pictures in the church of San Francesco, at Bergamo ; he also executed works in tiie Palazzo del Podesta in that city. He painted landscape and architecture, and was greatly cele- brated in his day for his observance and skilful representation of nature, not only in the scenery, but in the figures and animals with which he orna- mented his pictures. The beauty of his tints, the design of his infant figures, and the nature of his landscapes, all show that he aspired to the Titian manner. Muccio, in his 'Teatro di Bergamo,' calls him a universal genius. He died in 1548.

AVERCAMP, Hendrik van, was surnamed 'de Stomine van Kampen'('the Mute of Kanipen '), — a name Inunerzeel tells us he obtained on ac- count of his taciturnity. He was probably born at Kampen about the end of the 16th century, and lived, it is said, at the Hague. He produced many pictures, principally landscapes ornamented with cattle, and marine subjects ; but they have lost much of their value on account of their cliange of colour. His favourite subjects were winter scenes. The Dresden Gallery has two Dutch Kennesses on the ice ; a7id other paintings by him are in the Galleries of Berlin, Rottenlaui, Antwerp, and in many private collections in (ierniany. His draw- ings with the pen, and in i)ia<-k chalk, are still held in great estimation. They are met with in several of the collections of Germany and Holland; the Stadel Collection at Frank- fort ; the Albertina Gallery at Vienna ; the Berlin Museum, and elsewhere.

AVERNARIA. See Averara.

AVIANI, Francesco, a native of Vicenza, flour- ished about the year 1630. He excelled in paint- ing perspective and arcliitectural views, which were fre(|uently embellished with figures by Giulio Carpioni. His pictures usually represent the moat remarkable views in Venice. He also produced some landscapes and sea-ports.

AVICE, Chevalier Henri d'. This amateur etched for liis amusement some piatea in a slight, though spirited style, after N. Pous.sin, and other masters ; of tiiese the most esteemed is a middle-sized plate of the ' Adoration of the Magi,' after
