Rosini lias given a print of 'Tlie Resurrection of Christ,' from the picture in the Academy at Florence (plate 104), and it justifies the praise bestowed upon the painter, but contains only seven figures. The cares of a large family eventually proved fatal to the growing reputation of Capponi, causing him to sink into a state of list- lessness and apathy, so that his later productions were extremely feeble. He is said to have died at Florence in great poverty in 1524, but the dates of both his birth and death are perhaps open to question. The following is a list of his best extant paintings :
Virgin between two draped Angels. The Miracle of the Loaves — Fresco. „ „ The Annunciation. „ „ St. Eoch. „ „ St. Ignatius. „ 5 Spirito. The Trinity adored by SS. Cath- arine and Mary Magdalene. „ „ Virgin surrounded by Saints. 1505. „ S Lorenzo. The Nativity. „ Academy. The Resurrection. Paris. Louvre. Coronation of the Virgin.

CAPRIOLI, DoMENico, was a painter born at Treviso in 1495. He produced portraits in the style of Giorgione, which were well conceived, and rendered in a skilful manner. There is a fine por- trait by him in the Pinakothek at Munich. His monogram was a deer.
CAPURRO, Francesco, was born at Genoa, arid was a scholar of Domenico Fiasella. On leaving that master he went to Naples and Rome, where he attached himself to the works of Spagnoletfo, whose strong and vigorous style was then admired. He was employed some time at the Court of Mo- dena, and, according to Soprani, died at Genoa, in the prime of life, of a malignant fever. He flourished about 1690.
CAQUET, Jean Gabriel, a French engraver, was born in Paris in 1749. He engraved ' L'Innocence en Danger,' after Lavreince, ' La Soiree du Palais- Royal,' and illustrations to the ' Contes ' of La Fon- taine, after designs by Fragonard. He died in Paris in 1802.

CARACCIOLO, Giovanni Battista, commonly known as Battistello, a Neapolitan painter, was bom in 1580. He studied under F. Imparato and Caravaggio, devoting himself later to the style of the frescoes by Annibale Carracci in the Farnese Palace, Rome: he generally painted in the manner of Annibale Carracci, but his pictures were at the same time tinged with much of the influence of the naturalistic tendency of his con- temporary Spagnoletto. He died at Naples in 1641. Among the works which he painted for the churches of Naples were the following :
Naples. S. Martina. Mary Magdalene anointing the Feet of Christ. „ S.2Iariadella„, „.,._ Solitaria. ) St. Cecilia. „ S. NiccoU. St. Anthony of Padaa. „ iS. Anna rfe" 1 The Assumption. Lombardi. j Death of the Virgin. „ iS. Agnello. St. Charles,
CARAFFE, Armand Charles, a French his- torical painter, who also etched, %vas bom in Paris in 1762. He was a pupil of Lagren^e and of David. He visited Rome, and subsequently travelled in Turkey ; but at the outbreak of the Revolution he returned to France, and became so active a member of the club of the Jacobins that he was imprisoned from 1794 to 1797. He exhibited in 1799 a picture of ' Hope supporting Misfortune to the Grave,' which was much praised, and in the following year one of ' Love, abandoned by Youth and the Graces, consoling himself on the bosom of Friendship,' which was purchased by the wife of the First Consul. In 1802 he quitted France for an appointment at the Court of St. Petersburg, where he remained until 1812, and painted for Prince Yusupov 'The Oath of the Horatii.' He eventually returned to Paris, and died in that city in 1822.
CARAGLIO, Giovanni Jacopo, (or Caralids, or as below,) an Italian designer and engraver, was born at Parma in 1498 or 1600, and was a pupil of Marc Antonio Raimondi. His drawing is very correct; he gave a fine expression to his heads, and his extremities are marked in a mas- terly manner. Caraglio holds an eminent rank among the engravers of his country. He was much employed in the engraving of gems, and executed several medals, by which he gained great reputation at the court of Sigismund, King of Poland. He flourished as an engraver on copper from 1526 to 1551. In the latter part of hia life he returned to Italy, and, after working for a time at Verona, settled on his own estate near Parma, where he died about 1570. He is also called Jacobds Parmensis, and Jacobus Veronensis, which names he sometimes inscribed on his plates. The following are the best of the sixty-nine plates he is known to have left :
