BUTLER, ELIZABETH SOUTHERDEN THOMPSON, born at Lausanne, Switzerland, about 1844. Her early life was divided between Italy and England; pupil of S. Kensington Art School, and of Mr. Standish; studied when twenty-two years old in Florence, under Bellucci, afterward painted in Rome. Returned to England in 1870; exhibited in 1873 at Royal Academy a picture entitled Missing; the next year her Roll Call won for her a popularity almost without precedent in English art history. It was purchased by the Queen, and is now at Windsor. In 1875 she exhibited The 28th Regiment at Quatre Bras, in 1876 Balaklava, and in 1877 Return from Inkerman. In 1877 Miss Thompson married Major Wm. Francis Butler, C.B., aid-de-camp to the Queen. Later works: 'Listed for the Connaught Rangers, Remnants of an Army (1879); Scotland for Ever, Defence of Rorke's Drift (1881); Floreat Etona, Charge of the Scots Greys at Waterloo (1882).—Meynell, 68.


BUTTI, LORENZO, born in Austria; contemporary. Marine painter of considerable merit, made court painter in 1847. Works: Stormy Sea near Malamocco (1846), Marine with Sirocco Effect, Vienna Museum; Agitated Sea with Vessels, Sunset at Sea, Venetians trying to set on Fire an Imperial Frigate (1851).—Wurzbach, ii. 219.


BUTTINONE, BERNARDINO, of Treviglio, born probably before 1436, living in 1507. Lombard school. Proper name, Bernardino Jacobi; disciple of Vincenzo Foppa the elder, and partner of Zenale, whose work so resembles his that it is hard to distinguish between them. Buttinone ranked first in the partnership, and so was probably the elder. Their best common example is an altarpiece in San Martino, Treviglio, ordered in 1485. Pictures by Buttinone are a Madonna and Saints, in the sacristy of S. Ambrogio, Milan, do. in the Palazzo Borromeo, at Isola Bella, and a Virgin and Child (1454), in the Casa Castelbarco, Milan, very early work.—C. & C., N.
