CANTERBURY lie was forced to leave Bologna. After studying the works of the great masters in Home he returned to Bologna and opened a school in opposition to Guido. Humiliated at his want of success in painting a portrait of the Duke of Mantua, he went to Verona, and died there, some say of poison. Baldi- nucci calls him another Guido, but though he copied Guido with great success, he had little originality. He was an able engraver.
