EICCIARELLI F. Cervelli, whom he accompanied to Milan ; resided several years in Florence, Rome, and other Italian cities, studying and executing many works. From Vienna, where he deco- rated the Palace of Schonbrunn, he went to England, in the reign of Queen Anne, and during a ten years' residence painted the chapel at Bulstrode for the Duke of Port- land, the hall of Burlington House, an altar- piece for the chapel of Chelsea College, and other works, some of which are at Hampton Court. In 1718 he returned to Venice, where he lived rich and honoured until his death. With a fertile invention and great facility of execution, Sebastiano excelled in imitating the great masters of the Venetian school, especially Paolo Veronese. There is much grandeur and force in his composi- tions, but they generally want finish ; per- haps because he had more orders than he had time to fill. Among his works in Ven- ice are : Christ appearing to the Holy Wom- en, Academy ; Resurrection, S. Geminiano ; Communion of the Apostles, and St. Domi- uick, Corpus Domini ; Massacre of the In- nocents, Scuola della Carita ; Baptism of Christ, and Apostles' Supper, Capucines ; Madonna with Saints, S. Giorgio Maggiore ; Discovery of the Cross, and Miracle of St. Francis, S. Rocco. Other works : Moses striking the Rock, Magdalen washing the Feet of Christ, Turin Gallery ; Ascension, SS.
