Meyer, Kunst. Lex., i. 629. AMIGONI (Amiconi), JACOPO, born in Venice in 1675, died in Madrid in 1752. Venetian school. After having attained a cer- tain reputation in Italy, he went to Munich, and in the service of the Elector frescoed several ceilings in the castle at Schleissheim ; also painted oil paintings for churches and the court. In 1729 he went to London, where he found many patrons, and, besides painting frescos, was soon in great demand as a portrait painter ; through the Russian ambassador he also received orders for the court of St. Petersburg. In 1736 he was, for a short time, in Paris, and in 1739 returned to Venice a wealthy man. In 1747 he re- paired to Madrid as court painter to Ferdi- nand VI. In his time this master stood in high repute, but later was severely criticised ; he is in fact a weak follower of Sebastiano Ricci and Solimena, though a certain ease and mastery of treatment cannot be denied to him, which, wherever his art is confined to a decorative character, produces graceful effects. Works : Children playing with a Goat, Boys playing with a Lamb, Hampton Court ; Joseph in Pharaoh's Palace, Benja- min, St. Ferdinand receiving the Surrender of Seville, Portrait of an Infanta, Madrid Museum.
