ANGELI, GIULIO CESARE, born in Perugia about 1570, died there in 1630. Bolognese school; pupil of Lodovico Carracci, whose influence is not very apparent in his paintings; his drawing, especially of the nude, is negligent, while composition and colouring show talent. Works: Madonna with Saints, Perugia Cathedral.—Meyer, Künst. 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 disagreeable yellowish tint. His drawing is skilful, composition vivid, and in his later period the colouring becomes more light and pleasing, 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 Daughters, Mentz Museum.—Meyer, Künst. Lex., ii. 44; Zanotto, Storia, 102; Zanetti, Pittura Ven., 614.

ANGELI, HEINRICH VON, born in Oedenburg, Hungary, Feb. 8, 1840. History, genre, and portrait painter, pupil in 1854 of the Vienna Academy, then of Gustav Müller, and with Leutze went to Düsseldorf in 1856. In 1859-62 he was in Munich, and in 1862 settled in Vienna, where he soon became the favourite portrait painter of the aristocracy. His portraits are distinguished 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. Professor in Vienna Academy since 1876.

ANGELICO, Fra GIOVANNI, born in Vicchio in 1387, died in Rome in 1455. Florentine school; real name Guido or Guidolino di Pietro; called also Fra Gio. da Fiesole and Il Beato (the Blessed); may have studied under Starnina, but was probably bred with his younger brother, Benedetto, in the monkish school of miniature. Together they took the vows in 1407-8, either at Cortona or at the Dominican Convent, Fiesole, where they remained until 1409, when with the brethren who adhered to Gregory XII. they retired to the Dominican Convent at Foligno, and lived there and at Cortona until 1418. The next eighteen years were passed by Fra Angelico in Fiesole, after which he spent nine years (1436-1445) in the Convent of S. Marco, Florence. From 1445 until his death, with the exception of three months' (1447) employment in Orvieto, he resided in Rome, where he painted frescos in two chapels of the Vatican for Eugenius IV., and his successor, Nicholas V. The residence of Fra Angelico at Foligno during an early period of his life favoured his peculiar development. At Assisi, which lies at no great distance from Foligno, he saw and studied the works of Giotto, of whose school he may be called a follower, inasmuch as he exclusively devel
