 ANGIOLILLO Orvieto (1321-1329), and afterward at Assisi. A series of small panels iu tempera, origin- ally parts of one picture, in the Ranghiasci Brancaleone collection, Gubbio, have been assigned to him. These have all the char- acter of the Urbinese school at the close of the fourteenth century. The figures are long and slender, but the heads are oblojig and the features small. The colour of the flesh is rosy, and the general tone gay and pleasing. C. & C., Italy, ii. 192; Meyer, Kttust. Lex., ii. 59 ; Cibo, 41.

Lombard school ; schol- ar of Bernard- ino Campi and of Bernardino Gatti ; attract- ed attention at Rome about 1554 by her portraits, one of the earliest of which is perhaps her own likeness of that year in the Vienna Museum. She frequently represented herself in different situations, with brush and palette, Uffizi, Florence ; seated at the clavichord, Althorp, England ; at her easel, Keir, Scotland ; playing chess with two of her sisters, Eaczyuski Gallery, Berlin. In Spain, where she resided for several years and was raised to the rank of first lady in waiting to the Infanta Clara Eugenia, she painted portraits no longer extant of mem- bers of the royal family, and stood high in favor with Philip II., who made her splen- did presents and assigned her a considerable pension on the occasion of her marriage and return to Italy. Until the death of her hus- band she lived at Palermo, where she painted some religious pictures of merit inferior to her portraits, and later, having remarried, she settled at Genoa, where she was admired and followed for her talents and accomplish- ments. Her five sisters, Elena, Lucia, Mi- Sofonisba Genlisdona Cretnonese. nerva, Europa, and Anna Maria were all painters. Meyer, Kiinst. Lex., ii. C4; Vasari, ed. Mil., vi. 498 ; Ch.
