SCHIDONE (Schedone), BARTOLOMMEO, born in Modena about 1570 (?), died there, Dec. 27, 1615. Lombard school; said to have been a pupil of the Carracci, but his style shows careful study of Correggio, whose works he imitated, but without servility. Patronized by Duke Ranuccio of Modena, for whom he painted some admirable pictures. His frescos of the History of Coriolanus, in the Palazzo Pubblico, have been called worthy of Correggio. He was an excellent portrait painter, but his favourite subjects were Madonnas and Holy Families. He left but few pictures, as he wasted his time in gambling, and his death is said to have been caused by grief at a heavy loss of money. His best works are: Repose of Love, Portrait, Christ crowned with Thorns, SS. Jerome, Paul, and Sebastian, Naples Museum; Painter's Portrait, Holy Family, Uffizi, Florence; Madonna, Pallavicini Gallery, Genoa; Last Supper, Parma Gallery; Madonna del Campanello, Palazzo Pitti, Florence; Children, Heads, Turin Gallery; Flight into Egypt, Dresden Gallery; Massacre of the Innocents, St. John Baptist, Madonna, Two Holy Families, Madonna and Saints, Diana, Cupid, Hermitage, St. Petersburg.—Lanzi, ii. 360; Siret, 845; Seguier, 188; Burckhardt, 626, 764, 784, 795; Ch.
