LONGÉ, ROBERT DE, born at Brussels
about 1635 (?), died at Piacenza in 1707
(1709?). Flemish school; history and
landscape painter, pupil of Jacques de Potter
in 1658; went to Italy and studied at
Cremona under Agostino Bonisoli, probably
visited Venice, Rome, Florence, and Bologna,
and finally settled at Piacenza. By
Italian writers he is quoted as Roberto La
Longe or Uberto Da Longe, and surnamed
Il Fiammingo, the frequent application of
which surname to Flemish painters make
it all but certain that many of his works,
painted during his long residence in Italy,
are attributed to other masters. He painted
in a variety of styles, at times imitating
Guido Reni, at others approaching Guercino,
without ever abandoning the Flemish
style. Works in fresco: Resurrection, St.
Francis, Groups of Children, Cathedral at
Piacenza; St. Anthony and St. Victor, First
Bishop of Piacenza, St. Anthony's, ib.—Fétis,
Les Artistes belges à l'étranger, ii. 345.

LONGHI, LUCA, born at Ravenna, Jan.
14, 1507, died there, Aug. 12, 1580. Bolognese
school; history painter; bred under
a mixed Umbrian and Venetian influence;
probably pupil of Nicolò Rondinelli;
inclined to the old manner of Francia's
school, but instead of the deep feeling of
that master we find only an expression of
affected devotion. His chief works are:

Saints, Brera, Milan; Madonna Enthroned
(1542), Berlin Museum; Holy Family, Dresden
