 opened an academy, having among his pupils Velasquez, who married his daughter Juana, and Alonso Cano. In 1614 he painted for the convent of S. Isabel his principal work, the Last Judgment. From 1623 he spent two years in Madrid with Velasquez. Notwithstanding continual study, Pacheco never rose above mediocrity as a painter, and he is best known as the author of "Arte de la Pintura" (Seville, 1649). He succeeded best in portraits. Works: SS. Agnes, Catharine, John Evangelist, John Baptist, Madrid Museum.—Viardot, 131; Stirling, 462; Madrazo, 496.

PACHER, MICHAEL, born at Bruneck, Tyrol, flourished about 1465-83. German school; history painter, free from the exaggerations of his German contemporaries, and gifted with a rare feeling for beauty.

PACUVIUS, painter and tragic poet, of Brundusium, born about 220, and died about 130 B.C. He lived many years in Rome, where he won fame by both his poetry and his paintings. Pliny says (xxxv. 7 [19]) that his picture in the Temple of Hercules, in the Cattle Market, was only second in celebrity to the famous work of Fabius Pictor.—Brunn, ii. 303.

PADOVANINO, IL, born in Padua in 1590, died in 1650. Venetian school; real name Alessandro Varotari; son of Dario Varotari (Darius Weihrotter, of Augsburg, who changed his German name on removing to Padua), a reputable painter and architect, who died when his son was six years old. Alessandro studied the frescos of Titian at Padua, and in 1614 went to Venice to study his other works. He soon became one of his most successful imitators, and if his design had equalled his colouring, he would have been one of the greatest painters of the Venetian school, but he lacked robustness and virility, and is well characterized by Charles Blanc as a feminine Titian. The most important of his works is the Marriage of Cana, in the Venice Academy. In the same collection are the Wife of Darius, Deacon at Prayer, Virgin in a Glory of Angels, Rape of Proserpine, Judith, Orpheus and Eurydice, Vanity, and the Jewish Mother at the Siege of Jerusalem. Other examples are Venus and Cupid, Louvre; Orpheus, Madrid Museum; Triumph of Venus, Bergamo Gallery; Lucretia with the Dagger, Uffizi, Florence; Venus Attiring, Borghese, Rome; Holy Family, Naples Museum; Cornelia and her Children, Boy with a Bird, National Gallery, London; Judith with the Head of Holofernes, Cleopatra, Lucretia, Dresden Museum; Holy Family with Angels, Königsberg Museum; Eumenes promising Protection to Roxana, Hermitage, St. Petersburg; Judith, Holy Family, Christ and
