(1509) the Palazzo Chigi, called the Farnesina, and decorated its ceilings with frescos. He painted also many other frescos, the best of which are those in S. M. della Pace. In these he endeavoured to rival Michelangelo and Raphael, and some of them recall the grandeur of their works. In 1520 he succeeded Raphael as architect of St. Peter's, and held that position until the sack of Rome by the Spaniards in 1527, when he was captured and plundered of all he possessed. He was employed in architectural and engineering work until 1535, when he returned to Rome and began the Palazzo Massimi, which he did not live to finish. He was the last of the great artists of Siena.—C. & C., Italy, iii. 384; Vasari, ed. Mil., iv. 569, 615; ed. Le Mon., viii. 219; Ch.

PESELLINO, FRANCESCO, born in

Florentine school; real name Francesco di
Stephano Giuochi; grandson and pupil of
Giuliano Giuochi, called Pesello, whom he
aided in experimenting with an oil medium.
Francesco imitated Fra Filippo Lippi, according
to Vasari, and this is evident if we
accept as his work the predella of Lippi's
altarpiece (three parts in Florence Academy
and two in Louvre), and an Adoration of
the Magi, Uffizi, which shows him to have
been one of the best animal painters of his
day. Among his other works are: Madonna,
Städel Gallery, Frankfort; Trinity, National
Gallery, London; Exhibition of a
Relic, Liverpool Institution; and two predella
scenes, Palazzo Doria, Rome.—C. &
