He resided the greater part of his life at Rome, where he worked in union with C. Bloemaert, and engraved several plates of historical subjects and portraits. They are executed entirely with the graver in a neat but dry manner, and are not very well drawn. The following are his best works :

BARONI, GinSErrE, was an Italian engraver, who resided at Venice about the year 1720. He en- graved some large plates from the paintings of the Venetian masters ; among which is a print repre- senting the ' Crucifixion, with Angels in the air, and St. John and St. Mary Magdalene at the foot of the Cross.' It is executed in a coarse, unpleasing style, and the drawing is very incorrect.

BARONI-CAVALCABO, Kaspar Anton voN.a Tyrolese historical painter, was born at Sacco in 1682. He was instructed in the art by Giovanni Baroni, a kinsman, and by Antonio Baltstra at Verona. He then went to Venice and Rome, where lie studied in the school of Carlo Maratti.

The first edition of the Bojer d'Aguilles Collection, pub- lished in 1709, contained twenty-seven plates in mezzotint, scraped by this master ; they were re- placed in the second edition by plates engraved by Coelemans.
