ALLORI, AGNOLO, or ANGIOLO. See Bronzino.

ALLORI, ALESSANDRO di Cristofano di Lorenzo, born in Florence, May 3, 1535, died there, Sept. 22, 1607. Florentine school; nephew, pupil, and mediocre imitator of Angelo Bronzino, with whose surname he sometimes signed his pictures. He published (1590) "Dialogo sopra l'arte del designare le Figure," with anatomical plates. Among his works are: Baptism of Christ (1560), Marriage at Cana, Joseph and Potiphar's Wife, Martyrdom of St. Lawrence, St. Peter Walking on the Waters, St. Francis, Uffizi; Bathsheba in the Bath, Portrait of a young man, Hermitage, St. Petersburg; Bonaventura Family, Bianca Capello, Berlin Museum.—Ch. Blanc, École florentine; Meyer, Künst. Lex., i. 503; Vasari, ed. Le Mon., viii. 34, ix. 100, xii. 302.

ALLORI, CRISTOFANO, born in Florence, Oct. 17, 1577, died there in 1621. Florentine school; son and pupil of Alessandro Allori, and afterward pupil of Santo di Tito, both scholars of Angelo Bronzino, whose style Cristofano at first followed, but abandoned for the new Florentine eclectic manner based on that of Correggio. He became one of the best artists in Florence of his time, but his habits were irregular and he left but few pictures. He excelled in portrait painting. By far his best work is Judith, Palazzo Pitti, Florence. Other examples: Hospitality of St. Julian, St. John in the Desert, Pitti; Adoration of the Magi, Infant Christ, Magdalen, Uffizi, Florence; Isabella of Aragon imploring Charles VIII. for her Father.—Ch. Blanc, École florentine; Meyer, Künst. Lex., i. 508; Baldinucci, x. 259.

ALLOU, GILLES, born in Paris in 1670, died there, Feb. 2, 1751. French school; portrait painter; became member of Academy in 1711. His portraits, which rival those of Rigaud and Largillière, found much and well-deserved favour. He was employed in the Royal Carpet Factory at Beauvais. Works: portraits of Coypel and
