BOTH, JAN, called the Italian, born at Utrecht, in 1610, died there after 1650. Dutch school. Jan and his brother Andries having learned the elements of painting from their father, Dirck, glass painter, were apprenticed by him to Abraham Bloemart. The brothers travelled in France and Italy. At Rome, Jan imitated the style of Claude Lorrain and painted some excellent landscapes, in which Andries, who followed the manner of Van Laar, introduced figures and animals. It is said that Jan, after his brother was drowned at Venice, returned to Utrecht and died of grief soon after. But doubt is thrown upon this story by the signature of Jan, when dean of the guild in 1649; he had returned to Utrecht in 1644.

BOTTALLA, GIOVANNI MARIA, called Raffaellino, born at Savona, in 1613, died in Milan, in 1644. Genoese school; patronized by Cardinal Giulio Sacchetti, who placed him at Rome in the studio of Pietro da Cortona. Sacchetti called him Raffaellino from his happy imitation of Raphael; but his style is rather that of Pietro, who is said to have dismissed him and Francesco Romanelli, for endeavouring to supplant him.
