Roman school ; son of a jeweller, and for three years pupil of a Flemish painter in Rome ; then of Pietro Paolo Bonzi, called II Gobbo de Frutti, from whom he learned to paint fruit and flowers ; but he soon ap- plied himself to painting battle-scenes with so much skill that he was called Michelan- gelo delle Battaglie. Afterward he was sur- named "delle Bambocciate," because he imi- tated the Dutch painter Pieter van Laar, who was called in Rome II Bamboccio. Cer- quozzi painted with extreme facility, and generally without preliminary drawings. Among his best works are the Four Sea- sons, painted for the Palazzo Salviati, Rome ; Italian Masquerade, Louvre ; Battle Field, Dresden Gallery. Ch.

These pictures are inferior to his best and earlier works, the Baptism of Christ, Scotti Gallery, Milan ; and the Madonna with St. John, Melzi Collection, Milan.
