BOCCACCINO, BOCCACCIO, of Cremo- na, born 1460, died 1518 (?). Lombard school ; educated probably by followers of Mantegna at Ferrara, he was already an in- dependent master at Cremona in 1497, and had painted a series of frescos in Sant' Agos- tino. In 1499 Garofalo, his apprentice, de- serted him and went to Bx>me, and at a later period Boccaccino followed him. Vasari says he painted there a Coronation of the Virgin in Santa Maria in Trastevere, but the public, who had expected great things from one who had criticised Michael Angelo, so ridiculed his work that he returned to Cre- mona. Between 1506 and 1518 he executed numerous frescos in the Cathedral, Cremona, and also painted important works in Venice, of which the Madonna with Saints in S. Giu- liano, and the do. with landscape and Mar- riage of St. Catherine in the Academy (1511) are good specimens. His compositions are scattered and his perspective sometimes bad, but some of his single figures are good, and his colouring is often rich. Ch. Blanc, who puts little faith in the story of Vasari, says that Boccaccino was one of the best Cremo- nese painters, and that he played the same role there that Mantegua did in Padua and Francia in Bologna.

BOCCACCINO, CAMLLLO, of Cremona, born 1515, died Jan. 2, 1546. Lombard school ; son of Boccaccio Boccaccino, but excelled him, as he took pains to avoid the faults into which his father's vanity had be- trayed him. Lanzi calls him the greatest genius of the Cremonese school. The Rais- ing of Lazarus and the Adulteress before Christ, in Cremona, and the Four Evangelists in S. Sigismondo, near Cremona, are exam- ples of his works. Vasari, ed. Mil., iv. 583; vi. 493 ; C. Blanc, cole lombarde ; Lanzi, ii. 429. BOCHMANN, GREGOR VON, born at Nehat, Esthland, June 1, 1850.
