Lombard school ; pupil of Giuseppe Mazzuoli, and at first followed his manner ; but after visit- ing Bologna and Home adopted the style of the Caracci so successfully that he was called the Caracci of Ferrara. In his larger works he resembles Paolo Veronese, whose pictures he studied in Venice. He was a rival, all his life, of Ippolito Scarsella. Many of his works are in the churches of Ferrai'a, e.g., Patriarchs and Prophets in the Choir of S. M. in Vado ; Marriage at Cana, Ateneo ; Arisen Christ and Saints, S. Benedetto.

Lombard school ; brought up in the Ver- onese school, he came under the influ- ence of Mantegna at Mantua after he had formed a manner of his own, and acquired such proficiency that the Marquis Francesco Gonzaga gave him in 1487 a house and a salary, and retained him in his service until his death. He painted history, portraits, architecture, and animals ; was called the modern Zeuxis. His earlier style is more like that of Montagna, or of Buonconsi- glio, than that of Mantegna, but at the close of the 15th century he had become an imi- tator of Mantegna. Still later he shows the influence of Lorenzo Costa. His second manner is well illustrated in St. Louis and St. Bernardino, Brera, Milan ; St. Sebastian, S. M. delle Grazie, Mantua; March to Calvary, Academy, Mantua ; Portrait of a Venetian Senator, National Gallery (1487), London ; Madonna and Saints, Sir A. H. Layard, Lon- don ; and Christ carrying his Cross, Doria Gallery, Rome. In his last style are : Vision of Christ to the Nun Ozanna, Mantua Mu- seum ; and Madonna between Saints, chapel of S.
