SCALABRINO, Lo, a scholar of Sodoma, showed great poetical invention in painting grottesche. As a disciple of Bazzi he would rank among the Sienese painters ; but he was accustomed to sign himself Scalabrimia Pistoriensis. so that Pistoja seems to have been his birthplace. !

SCALBERG, Pierre, a French painter and en- graver, who resided in Paris about the year 1638. Of his work as a painter little is known, but he has left a few etchings, some from his own designs, others from well-known pictures, e. g. :

Venus and Cupid ; signed and dated. 163S. The Eutombment of Christ ; after Raphael. The Battle of Constantine ; after the same. Diana and her Nymphs ; after Domeyiichino. Robert-Duraesnil, torn, iii., has ascribed forty-seven prints to Scalberg, who is said to have worked as late as 1650.

SCALBERGE, (or Scalle Berge,) Frederic, a Flemish engraver, who flourished from 1623 to 1636, as appears by the dates on his plates. This engraver, who signed his name sometimes Scal- berge, and sometimes Scalle Berge, must not be confounded with Pierre Scalberg.

SCALIGERI, Bartolo, a native of Padua, was born about 1605, but settled at Venice, and was a scholar of Alessandro Varotari. Several altar-pieces by him are still preserved in Venice, among which that in the church of Corpus Domini is perhaps the best. The date of his decease is not recorded.

SCANNABECCHI, Filippo, called Lippo di Dal- MASio, and also Lippo dalle Madonne, from the numerous pictures he painted of tlie Virgin and Child, was one of the earliest painters of the Bolognese school. He was the son of Dalmasio

ScANNABECCHi, who painted at Bologna early in the 14th century. There is ati example of his art in the gallery at Bologna. Lippo is said to have been a pupil of Vitale da Bologna, and to have practised from 1376 to 1410. His pictures are now exceed- ingly scarce, though Malvasia says that a family used not to be considered wealthy at Bologna unless it possessed one of his Madonnas. The dates of his birth and death are alike unknown, but he made his will in 1410. In the National Gallery, London, there is a ' Madonna and Child in Glorj-,' signed lAppus Dalmasii pinxit. It is a very poor pro- duction.

SCANNABECCHI, Teresa. See Muratori.

SCANNARDI D'AVERARA, a painter practising at Bergamo towards the close of the loth century. No record of liis life and works has survived, but we learn from an ancient deed preserved at Bergamo, that in 1477 he was working as partner with Troso da Monza. Messrs. Crowe and Cavalcaselle suggest that the fragments of frescoes detached from the ruins of Santa Maria delle Grazie, and deposited in the Bishop's palace at Bergamo, may have been a product of this collaboration.

SCANNAVINI, M. Aurelis, (Scannavesi,) was born at Ferrara in 1655. He was first a scholar of Francesco Ferrari but afterwards visited Bologna, where he studied for some time under Carlo Cignani, of whom he became one of the most

distinguished disciples. His most considerable work is in the refectory of the Dominicans, at Ferrara. It represents the Life of St. Dominic, in
