 ANGELI Cavalry Skirmish, Schleissheim Gallery ; Portrait of himself, Uffizi, Florence. Meyer, Kiinst. Lex., ii. 43 ; Miindler, Essai, 26. ANGELI, GIULIO CESAKE, boru in Perugia about 1570, died there iu 1630. Bolognese school ; pupil of Lodovico Car- racci, whose influence is not very apparent in his paintings ; his drawing, especially of the nude, is negligent, while composition and colouring show talent. Works : Ma- donna with Saints, Perugia Cathedral. Meyer, Kiinst. Lex., ii. 44. ANGELI, GIUSEPPE, born in Venice about 1710, died in 1798. Venetian school ; pupil of Gio. Batt. Piazetta, from whom he derived his blackish shadows and disagree- able yellowish tint. His drawing is skilful, composition vivid, and in his later period the colouring becomes more light and pleas- ing, but is lacking in strength. He painted a great deal in oil and fresco for the churches in Venice and neighbouring cities. Works : Little Drummer, Louvre ; Lot and Daugh- ters, Mentz Museum. Meyer, Kiinst. Lex., ii. 44 ; Zanotto, Storia, 102 ; Zanetti, Pit- tura Ven., 614. ANGELI, HEINEICH VON, born in Oedenburg, Hungary, Feb. 8, 1840. His- tory, genre, and portrait painter, pupil in 1854 of the Vienna Academy, then of Gus- tav Mailer, and with Loutze went to Diissel- dorf in 1856. In 1859-62 he was in Mu- nich, and in 1862 settled in Vienna, where he soon became the favourite portrait painter of the aristocracy. His portraits are dis- tinguished for truth, an air of high breeding, and elegance of arrangement, and his genre pictures are full of dramatic life. Medal, Paris, 3d class, 1878.

ANGELICO, Fra GIOVANNI, born in Vicchio in 1387, died in Rome in 1455, Florentine school ; real name Guido or Gui- doliuo di Pietro ; called also Fra Gio. da Fie- sole and II Beato (the Blessed); may have studied under Stamina, but was probably bred with his younger brother, Benedetto, in the monkish school of miniature. To- gether they took the vows iu 1407-8, either at Cortona or at the Dominican Convent, Fiesole, where they remained until 1409, when with the brethren who adhered to Gregory XH. they retired to the Dominican lonvent at Foligno, and lived there and at iortona until 1418. The next eighteen years were passed by Fra Angelico in Fie- sole, after which he spent nine years (1436- 1445) in the Convent of S. Marco, Florence. Prom 1445 until his death, with the excep- tion of three months' (1447) employment in Orvieto, he resided in Rome, where he painted frescos in two chapels of the Vati- an for Eugenius IV., and his successor, Nicholas V. The residence of Fra Angelico at Foligno during an early period of his ife favoured his peculiar development.
