Bolognese school, pupil of the Car- racci ; removed to Milan, where he estab- lished a famous school of painting, in which his sous and many other noted painters were educated.

Said to have studied in the school of the Car- racci at Bologna, but more prob- ably took Cor- reggio for his model ; and was so good an imitator of that painter's style that some of his pictures have been ascribed to him.
