[Born at Vicenza, in Italy, 1518. Died there, 1580. Aged 62.] He largely and accurately studied and described the Roman style of architecture, and adapted it to modern purposes with admirable success. Inigo Jones may be called his disciple; and the Banquetting House at Whitehall is a good example of the style called _Palladian_. He was small in stature, and agreeable in countenance. His most celebrated buildings are at Venice, Verona, and Vicenza. [This bust is by Leandro Biglioschi.] 156. PAOLO CAGLIARI, called VERONESE. _Painter._ [Born at Verona, 1528. Died at Venice, 1588. Aged 60.] One of the great masters of the Venetian school of painting, whose principle was the study and imitation of nature, but whose peculiar excellence was colour, which the leaders of the school carried to the highest point of perfection. The works of Veronese are remarkable for splendour of colour, for the clear and transparent treatment of shadows, and for comprehensive keeping and harmony. He represented festivals and banquets suggested by Sacred History. The “Marriage at Cana,” now in the Louvre at Paris, is a magnificent example of his style. He was a man of courteous manners and generous disposition, and left a family of sons and brothers, who pursued the same calling. [By Domenico Manera.] 157. GIOVANNI PIERLUIGI, surnamed DI PALESTRINA. _Musical Composer._ [Born 1524. Died 1594. Aged 70.] Palestrina is justly described in his epitaph as “Musicæ Princeps.” He was the greatest musician of his time, and the creator of Church music. Before his day the music of profane, and even immoral songs, had been allied with church masses. He reformed the custom by the production of a sacred composition that ravished every hearer. In 1555, he was Musical Director to the Church of St. John Lateran. Ten years afterwards, he was named Composer to the Pontifical Chapel. But he was in straitened circumstances throughout his career. His music continues a model at this hour. He had a singular capacity for apprehending the poetic character of his subject. 158. ANNIBALE CARRACCI. _Painter._ [Born at Bologna, 1560. Died at Rome, 1609. Aged 49.] One of the three Carracci who founded a new school of painting (the Bolognese school), the fundamental principles of which were the study of nature, and a close imitation of the great masters. At Rome, painted the gallery of the Farnese palace with mythological frescos, which display masterly drawing, excellent arrangement of draperies, and an agreeable, clear colouring. Produced landscapes as well as historical works. His facility in drawing marvellous. Amongst the pupils of the Carracci school were Domenichino, Guercino, and Guido Reni. [The author of this bust is not known. It was executed at the expense of Carlo Maratta.] 159. DOMENICHINO, also called DOMENICO ZAMPIERI. _Painter._ [Born at Bologna, 1581. Died at Naples, 1641. Aged 60.]
