Latham, R. G. (Robert Gordon)
Crystal Palace (Sydenham, London, England)
[He was buried at the Chiesa delle Frazi, at Venice. This Bust is by
Alessandro d’Este. There is in the Church of St. John and St. Paul, at
Venice, a fine bust of Titian, which stands by the side of that of
Palma Vecchio; it was placed there forty-five years after his death,
by Palma il Giovine. There is little doubt that this and its companion
of Palma were the work of Jacops Albarelli, the intimate friend of
Palma Giovine, whose bust he also executed. Ridolfi mentions a Bust
of the great painter, by his friend Jacopo Sansovino. There is, in the
Vienna Gallery, a superb portrait of him, by his own hand.]
145. BENVENUTO TISIO, commonly called GAROFALO. _Painter._
[Born at Garofalo, 1481. Died at Ferrara, in Italy, 1559. Aged 78.]
A distinguished painter of the Ferrarese school. The sight of
Raffaelle’s works, in the Sistine Chapel, determined him to follow art,
and he became a friend of the great artist himself, though in style most
unlike him--brilliant but mannered. On festival days it was his custom
to work without payment at a convent in Ferrara, “for the love of God.”
Blind for the last few years of his life--cheerful in disposition, and
resigned under affliction.
[By Massimiliano Laboureur. In the Louvre are two portraits said to be
of Garofalo, but they are of doubtful authenticity. This bust is
probably done from a picture.]
146. RAFFAELLE SANZIO, commonly called RAFFAELLE. _Painter._
[Born at Urbino, in Italy, 1483. Died at Rome, 1520. Aged 37.]
