CARRIERA, ka-rvn'ra. Rosalba (1675-1757). An Italian painter, born in Venice. She began while very young to design lace, and then applied herself to the decoration of snuff-boxes under Jean Stève in Venice. He taught her miniature-painting. by which and by her portraits in crayon, once compared with those of Correggio, she is principally known. In 1720, already famous, she visited Paris and painted portraits of the King Louis XV. and the nobles and ladies of his Court. She was elected a member of the Academy, and presented as her "picture of reception" a "Muse Crowned with Laurel." While in Paris she kept a diary (published by the Abbé Vianelli in 1703), which gives a most entertaining account of her visit there. She returned to Venice in 1721, visited Modena and Vienna, and was everywhere received with much enthusiasm. Toward the end of her life she became blind through overwork. There are one hundred and forty-three of her drawings in the gallery in Dresden, and the Louvre, Uffizi, and Saint Petersburg galleries own others. Consult the new ed. (French) of her diary, with life and notes (Paris, 1865).

Compelled from early voutli to earn liis living, he studied but intermittently at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, and was hardly known until his return from England in 1855. In 1861 he received a third-class medal, and in 1866 a first-class medal for his statue "Angelica." His beautiful busts in terra-cotta best represent his art. He also executed many striking busts of Xapoleon III., .Jules Simon, Kenan, and others in bronze and marble. Toward the end of his hie he became director of the works at Sevres, to which he gave new energj-. Among the statues of this artist should be mentioned "PhC-be endormie" (1860), at the Luxembourg, a monument to the memory of Massena at Xice (1868), some carvings in the Louvre, and a chimney-piece and two candelabra in the foyer of the Opera House in Paris.

CARRIERE, kiir'yai-', Eugi>xe Axatole (1840—). . French painter, born in Gournay, Seine ct Marne. He studied at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, and under Cabanal, but his subjects and his treatment of them are quite individual. He chooses the humble side of life, and invests it with a kind of melancholy grace. At its best this is seen in "La .Teune M&re," in the Museum of Avignon, and in "La Maternite," in the Luxembourg. He also painted some decorations in the Hotel de Ville, Paris, and in the Sorbonne.

CARRION-CROW. Any of various large black or dark-colored birds which feed on carrion ; in the United States, and southward, the black vulture {Catluirista atrata), a close relative of the turkey-buzzard. It is considerably larger than a crow, the plumage is blackish, and the head is bare, but most of the neck is feathered. It is found abundantly along the Gulf coast and northward to Xorth Carolina, and is esjiecially common in the cities and large towns, where it is protected as an indispensable scav- enger, and often, as notably about the market in Charleston, becomes half domesticated. The nest is made on the ground under logs or 1)ushes ; the eggs are one to three in number, bluish-white, more or less spotted with brown. In England the 'carrion-crow' is a true crow (Corvus corone). It is the most like the American crow of any of the five British species, but is a little larger; seldom appears in (locks, but is more of a solitary' bird; and not only eats carrion, hut even attacks weak animals, such as young lambs, and rificii piiti the eggs and young of other birds.
