GOZZOLI, BENOZZO, born in Florence in 1424, died there in 1498. Florentine school. Real name Benozzo di Lese di Sandro; pupil of Fra Angelico, whom he followed to Rome, and his assistant at Orvieto in 1447. He parted from him in 1449, and established himself at Montefalco, near Foligno, where he remained until 1456 and executed many important works in the manner of his master, though they are far from approaching him in spiritual power. Those in S. Fortunato consist of a Madonna with Saints and Angels, an Apotheosis of the titular Saint, an Annunciation, and St. Thomas receiving the Girdle, now in the Museum of St. John Lateran, Rome. In S. Francesco, Benozzo filled the choir with a triple course of episodes from the life of St. Francis, and painted a Madonna and Saints and other frescos in the Chapel of St. Jerome in the same church. In 1456, after painting in Perugia the Madonna and Saints, now in the Academy, Benozzo returned to Florence, and was employed by Piero de’ Medici to paint a series of frescos representing the Journey of the Magi to Bethlehem, in the Chapel of the Palazzo Riccardi. In these, like the realists, he made Scripture incidents a vehicle for the treatment of rich costume, animal life, and landscape. In 1463–67 he painted in S. Agostino, San Gimignano, a series of scenes from the life of St. Augustine, and other subjects in the Pieve. Between 1469 and 1485 he painted, in the Campo Santo, Pisa, a series of frescos representing 24 subjects from the Old Testament, the most pleasing of which is Noah and his Family, which contains the charming episode of the vintage and a rich architectural and landscape background. Among his extant easel pictures are the Triumph of St. Thomas Aquinas, Louvre; Conception, Pisa Academy; Miracles of St. Hyacinth, Vatican, Rome; Madonna with Saints, Vienna Museum; Miracles of S. Jacinto, Vatican; Madonna with Saints, Rape of Helen, National Gallery, London; History of Lucretia, National Gallery, Dublin.--C. & C., Italy, ii. 498; Vasari, ed Le Mon., iv. 184; Baldinucci, i. 490; Ch.

Florentine school; pupil of Domenico and David Ghirlandajo at same time with Michelangelo, with whom he formed an intimate friendship. His early tendency was to imitate the Michelangelesque, at the same time endeavouring to acquire the technical improvements of Mariotto Albertinelli and of Fra Bartolommeo. He was one of those whom Michelangelo invited to Rome in 1508 to aid in the frescos of the Sistine Chapel, but he did not satisfy him, and this led to their estrangement.

Among his best pictures are Virgin in Glory, Uffizi, Florence; Holy Family, Palazzo Pitti, ib.; Virgin and Saints, Academy, ib.; Madonna and Saints, The Trinity, Berlin Museum; The Virgin adoring the Child, Four Saints, Old Pinakothek, Munich; Nativity, Hermitage, St. Petersburg.--C. & C., Italy, iii. 534; Vasari, ed.

Paolo, Ferrara, and the St. George and the Dragon in the Corsini Gallery, Rome; Conversion of St. Paul, National Gallery, London.--C. & C., N. Italy, i. 531, 550; Cittadella, Notizie di Ferrara, 422; Vasari, ed. Mil., iii. 141; ed. Le Mon., iv. 247; Burckhardt, 582.

His Capture and Procession to Golgotha in the Dresden Museum (the centre-piece, belonging to these, a Pietà, is in the Royal Institution at Liverpool) show that he was a close follower of Mantegna rather than of Costa.

GREUZE, JEAN BAPTISTE, born at Tournus (Saône-et-Loire), Aug. 21, 1725, died in Paris, March 21, 1805. French school; genre and portrait painter, pupil in Lyons of Grandon, and in Paris of the Academy in 1755. His picture of the Father reading the Bible to his Children was exhibited and greatly admired in the same year, at the close of which he was taken to Italy by the Abbé Goujenot. After his return he exhibited at the Salons of 1757, 1759, and 1761, at which latter his Accordée du Village (Louvre) excited the greatest enthusiasm. Angry at being received into the Academy (1767) as a genre and not as a history painter, Greuze retired for a time to Anjou, whence he returned to exhibit pictures in his studio which attracted all Paris. He amassed a large fortune, but lost it at the Revolution. Neglected by the public, which admired only the new school of David, Greuze passed his last years in misery and regret. His wife, Mlle. Babuty, whose charming face appears in so many of his pictures, was an extravagant and worthless woman, from whom he was separated long before his death.

History and portrait painter, son of Jean Antoine, miniature painter, and pupil of David; competed unsuccessfully for the prix de Rome in 1792, supported himself by painting portraits, and in 1793 went to Italy. In 1796 he was presented to General Bonaparte at Milan, and obtained his favour by painting him on the bridge at Arcole. The General had the picture engraved by Longhi, gave the plate to Gros, appointed him review inspector, and put him on the commission charged to select works of art to be sent to France. In 1799 he escaped from Genoa on an English ship, arrived half dead at Antibes, and in 1801 gained at Paris a competition prize for a sketch of Battle of Nazareth, an historical picture never executed. Up to 1812, he painted battles of the Empire and portraits, then was commissioned to paint the cupola of St. Geneviève, which he finished in 1824, when he was ennobled.

GUIDI, TOMMASO DI GIOVANNI. See Masaccio.
GUIDO (Guido Reni), born in Bologna, Nov. 4, 1575, died there, Aug. 18, 1642. Bolognese school. Son of Daniele Reni, a musician; pupil of Denis Calvart, afterward of the Carracci. For a time he was the favourite pupil of Lodovico, but he soon aroused so much jealousy that he was dismissed from the academy. After painting several years in Bologna, where his pictures excited much admiration, he went to Rome about 1608, with his fellow-pupil Francesco Albani, and notwithstanding the opposition of Caravaggio and of Annibale Carracci, then at work in the Palazzo Farnese, he soon won an honourable position. Caravaggio was then the fashion in Rome, and when Cardinal Borghese gave Guido an order for the Crucifixion of St. Peter, he coupled it with the command that it should be in the manner of that painter. Guido obeyed, but he gave his composition a grandeur and dignity beyond the powers of Caravaggio. Paul V. employed him to decorate the private chapel in the Palace of Monte Cavallo, a work which gained him great reputation and made him many enemies, even his friend Albani becoming inimical when he found that Guido’s fame was likely to exceed his own. After an absence in Rome of twenty years, Guido returned to Bologna, where he painted the Massacre of the Innocents for S. Domenico, now in the Bologna Gallery, and St. Paul reproving St. Peter, for the Palazzo Zampieri, now in the Brera, Milan. Paul V. soon induced him to return to Rome, where he executed works in S. M. Maggiore and other public buildings, his most famous one being the fresco Aurora, in the pavilion of the Palazzo Rospigliosi. Guido’s productions vary much in manner according to the time of their execution, and may be assigned to three different periods: The first, marked by strong contrasts of light and shade; the second or transition period, stronger and more natural; the third, pale-gray tones and insipid sentiment. Works: Massacre of Innocents, Madonna della Pietà, Christ on the Cross, Samson Victorious, St. Sebastian, Madonna of the Rosary, Coronation of Virgin, Ecce Homo, Bologna Gallery; Bacchus and Ariadne, Fortune, Cupid, Accademia di S. Luca, Rome; portrait of Beatrice Cenci (?), Palazzo Barberini, ib.; Concert of Angels, Cappella di S. Silvia, near S. Gregorio, ib.; St. Andrew adoring Cross, S.

GUIDO RENI DI NAPOLI. See Stanzioni, Massimo.
GUIDO DA SIENA, Sienese school, latter half of 13th century. The Madonna in S. Domenico, Siena, falsely dated 1221, was painted probably in 1281; and Guido is probably identical with Guido Graziani, who appears in documents of 1278. The inscription has been often retouched, and the heads of the Virgin and Child have evidently been entirely repainted. This is important, as upon it rests the question whether Florence or Siena was the cradle of the revival of painting in the 13th century. By the rectification of the date, the priority of the Florentine Cimabue to the Sienese Guido is established, and the honour remains to Florence. The Madonna in the Academy at Siena, also ascribed to Guido, is much inferior to the one at S. Domenico. A Madonna with Saints, attributed to him, is in the Gallery of the Historical Society of New York.--C. & C., Italy, i. 180; Vasari, ed.

In 1820 he produced Christ’s Entry into Jerusalem, the exhibition of which in London brought him 3,000 guineas; but it procured him no commissions, and was finally sold for £240 and sent to America. It is now in Philadelphia. Though in great pecuniary difficulties and several times the inmate of a debtor’s prison, he still clung to the belief that he was the great historical painter of the age, and that his efforts would in time be appreciated. His Raising of Lazarus (14 x 20 ft.), now in the National Gallery, was exhibited with some success in 1823, and a few years afterwards his Venus appearing to Anchises, Alexander taming Bucephalus, and Euclus.

Scene--the portico of an Ionic temple; in centre sits Apelles enthroned, with Ictinus on his right and Phidias on his left. Near them are five allegorical figures: in front, Fame, nude, kneeling, casting out wreaths from a heap at her side; back of her, at left, seated, are Greek Art and Gothic Art, the latter (with the model of a cathedral) a portrait of Delaroche’s wife, daughter of Horace Vernet; at right, Roman Art and Renaissance Art. On each side of this ideal group extend the wings of the picture, in which are grouped the great artists of the world, standing or sitting in their habits as they moved of old. The work contains 75 colossal figures. The original, called the Hémicycle because it occupies the semicircular frieze of the amphitheatre of the Beaux-Arts, was painted in 1837–41.

He painted many religious compositions, and attracted numerous students, among whom was Velasquez, but his temper was so violent that he was abandoned by even his children. Accused of coining false money, he took refuge in the Jesuits’ College, Seville, where he painted a noble altarpiece, St. Hermengild in Glory, now in the Seville Museum.

In 1660 he aided in founding the Academy at Seville, of which Murillo was chosen president and Herrera second or vice-president; but, displeased at this inferior position, he went in 1661 to Madrid, where he became painter to Philip IV. and superintendent of the royal works (1671).

HOBBEMA, MEYNDERT (Minderhout), born at Koeverden or at Amsterdam (?) in 1638, died at Amsterdam, buried Dec. 14, 1709. Dutch school; landscape painter, formed himself under the influence of Jacob van Ruisdael. Much neglected in his life-time, and little esteemed, this painter now takes rank as one of the greatest masters of landscape art, thanks to the initiative of England, where nine-tenths of his works are to be found. With less inventive genius and less poetic feeling than Ruisdael, Hobbema surpassed him in truth to atmospheric effect, in tone, and in brilliancy of colour. These qualities give a magical beauty to the generally prosaic scenes which he habitually treated.

HOGARTH, SCOTTISH. See Allan, David.
HOGARTH, WILLIAM, born in London, Dec. 10, 1697, died there, Oct. 26, 1764. Son of Richard Hogarth, schoolmaster; apprenticed to Ellis Gamble, silversmith, to learn to engrave arms and cyphers on plate; when his time had expired (1718), became a student in St. Martin’s Lane Academy, where he learned to draw. About 1720 he set up in business as a silversmith, and began to engrave book-plates, the first of his prints to attract notice being a series of illustrations for Butler’s Hudibras (1726). In 1730 he clandestinely married the daughter of Sir James Thornhill, serjeant-painter to the king, whose studio he had frequented. As his book-plates were not profitable, he set up as a portrait painter and met with considerable success. In 1733 he completed his series of six pictures entitled the Harlot’s Progress (5 burned at Fonthill, 1755; 1, the sixth picture, Earl of Wemys, Gosford House), which was followed by the Rake’s Progress (8 pictures), and Marriage à la Mode (6), in which he reached the height of his art, his more ambitious works, such as the Good Samaritan (1736), Paul before Felix (1748), Moses brought to Pharaoh’s Daughter (1752), and others, being less successful. Among his other pictures painted especially for engraving are: Southwark Fair (1733), Duke of Newcastle; Midnight Modern Conversation (1734); Distressed Poet (1735); The Four Times of the Day (1738); Strolling Actresses Dressing in a Barn (1738, burned at Littleton House, near Staines, 1874); The Enraged Musician (1741); Calais Gate (1749); March to Finchley (1750); The Election (1755), Soane Museum, London. In 1753 he published a work entitled “The Analysis of Beauty”; in 1757 he was appointed serjeant-painter to the king. Hogarth painted several portraits of himself; the best of them, in which he is represented with his dog Trump (1745), is in the National Gallery, London. Other pictures in the National Gallery are: Marriage à la Mode (6), Portrait of his sister, Mary Hogarth (1746), Sigismonda (1763), Family Group, Polly Peachum, Shrimp Girl; Garrick as Richard III., Earl of Feversham.--Dobson, Biogr.

HOLBEIN (Holbain), HANS, the elder, born in Augsburg about 1460, died there in 1524.

HOLBEIN, HANS, the younger, born in Augsburg in 1497, died in London between Oct. 7 and Nov. 29, 1543. German school; history and portrait painter, son and pupil of Hans Holbein the elder. After completing his apprenticeship he went to Basle with his brother, Ambrose, in 1515, served as journeyman under Herbster, Koch, or Dig, matriculated in 1519, when he joined the painters’ guild. Two years before, he decorated the house of Jacob von Hartenstein at Lucerne with frescos no longer extant (copies in Lucerne Library). His frescos in the City Hall at Basle were painted in 1521–22, and The Passion, in the Basle Museum, about the same time. It is possible that Holbein made a short visit to Northern Italy before 1523, when he painted the fine portrait of Erasmus at Longford Castle, which the great humanist sent to Sir Thomas More in 1525 as a specimen of the painter’s ability and as a recommendation to his patronage. Probably in September, 1526, Holbein visited Antwerp to see Quinten Massys, and spent some time there, after which he went to England, where Sir Thomas More lodged him in his own house near London. There he painted the Chancellor and his family (original lost, sketch in Basle Museum), and many fine portraits. From August, 1528, Holbein lived at Basle until 1532, when he returned to England, where, despite the earnest invitations of the magistrates of Basle, he remained, with the exception of a visit in 1538, during the rest of his life. At what time Holbein became painter to Henry VIII. is not known (1536?), but probably not until after the death of Anne Boleyn, whose successor, Lady Jane Seymour, he represented in the family picture of the two Henrys, which was burned at Whitehall in 1698. (Copy at Hampton Court.) In March, 1538, when Holbein is first mentioned as the recipient of a quarterly salary from the king, he was sent to Brussels, and then revisited Basle. In August, 1539, Henry again sent him to Flanders to paint Anne of Cleves (Louvre). The wonderful series of 89 portraits in red chalk and India ink by Holbein in the royal collection at Windsor are in themselves sufficient to stamp him as one of the greatest of all masters in portraiture. As a designer he shines most brightly in the wood cuts of the Dance of Death, executed by Hans Lützelburger, and published at Lyons in 1538 and 1547. Works: Head of the Virgin (1514), do. of a Saint, Christ on Mount of Olives, Taking of Christ, Pilate washing his Hands, Last Supper, Flagellation, Writing Lesson, A School, Portrait of Burgomaster Jacob Meyer and Wife (1516), Basle Museum; Portrait of H.

HONTHORST, GERARD VAN, born at Utrecht, Nov. 4, 1590, died there, April 27, 1656. Dutch school; history, genre, and portrait painter, pupil of Abraham Bloemart, but spent several years in Rome, where he studied the pictures of Caravaggio, and found a patron in the Marchese Giustiniani. As he painted many night scenes lighted by torches or candles, he was surnamed Gherardo dalle Notti. After his return he worked (1619–20) at the court of King Frederic in Prague, later for Charles I. in England, where in 1628 he executed portraits and historical paintings for the Banqueting Hall, Whitehall. He was free of the Utrecht guild in 1623, and at The Hague in 1637. In 1645–50 he worked chiefly for the princes of Orange, but also painted a series of pictures from Danish history for the King of Denmark, and in his later years a number of portraits for Frederick William, Elector of Brandenburg. His early pictures are preferable to those painted after his journey to Italy (1612–15), where he imitated Caravaggio and Correggio in his night pieces, Rubens in his historical paintings, and Mierevelt in his portraits. He worked very rapidly. His numerous works are markedly realistic, show skilful arrangement, good drawing, and powerful chiaroscuro, but they are deficient in elevation.

The third picture was sold lately in London. A fourth replica in small (water-colour), with changes, is owned by C. F. H. Bolckow, Middleborough, England.--Harper’s Weekly (1857), 645; London Times, April 27, 1865, 12.

Real name Andrea Luigi, Alovigi, or Lovigi, but called L’Ingegno (the Cunning), on account of his pictorial ability and his versatility. Vasari’s account of him is full of errors. He was more probably the pupil of Niccolò Alunno, who opened a school at Foligno in 1460, than of Perugino, whose school at Perugia did not begin until about 1499, and is first heard of in 1484, painting coats-of-arms in the Council Hall and on the city gates of Perugia. He was proctor in 1505, justice in 1507, assistant in 1510, and Papal cashier in 1511, under Pope Julius II. His name is attached to several pictures in European galleries, evidently painted by a master who was at the school of Fiorenzo di Lorenzo, and a companion of Pinturicchio.--C. & C., Italy, iii. 161; Vasari, ed.

After living from 1806 to 1820 in Rome, where he studied the works of Raphael with devotion, and from 1820 to 1824 in Florence, he returned to Paris to take rank as one of the greatest artists of his time, and to produce an immense number of works, many of which are of great excellence.

Met Taddeo Gaddi while the latter was decorating a chapel in the church of Sasso della Vernia in Casentino, and followed him to Florence.
