A Ma- donna by Francesco, dated 1489, National Gallery, London, shows a tendency to imi- tation of the Vivarini ; but in his pictures on the shutters of the organ of S. Marco, Venice (1490), now in the lumber room, the style is feeble Squarcionesque. C. & C., N. Italy, ii. 439 ; Siret, 901 ; Burckhardt, 611. TACKE, LUDWIG, born at Brunswick, Dec. 6, 1823.

Meyer, Conv. Lex., xvii. 865. TADEMA, ALMA. See ^ma-Tadema. TAFI, ANDREA, of Florence, born in 1213 (?), died in 1294 (?). According to Vasari's doubtful account, he went to Venice and induced one Apollonius, a Greek, to re- turn with him to Florence to teach him the art of mosaic. The Baptistery there was adorned by them in common, one figure alone, the colossal Saviour in the cupola, being the unaided work of Tafi. It shows that he was a feeble artist, who combined the defects of the Italo-Byzantine school of the period. C. & C., Italy, i. 195 ; Meyer, Kiinst-Lex., i. 690 ; Vasari, ed.
