By Domenichino, Vatican, Rome; signed, dated 1614. The dying Saint, half nude, sustained by three men, at the foot of an altar, in a building adorned with Corinthian columns and pierced by an arcade opening on a landscape, attempts to join his trembling hands to receive the Host which St. Ephraim of Syria extends to him on a golden patine; the deacon, in a dalmatica, holds the chalice, and in front, a young clerk kneels with a closed book in his hands; in background, St. Paulina, kneeling, kisses the hand of the Saint, while two other persons, one wearing a turban, stand behind; in foreground, left, the lion, the Saint’s faithful companion, lies with his head on his paws; above, a group of four angels. Painted for 50 Roman crowns for a priest, who presented it to the Church of S. Girolamo della Carità. It excited violent criticism, Guido, Lanfranco, and the Chevalier d’Arpino accusing Domenichino of having copied the picture of Agostino Carracci. Poussin declared it one of the three best pictures in Rome, ranking it with Raphael’s Transfiguration and Volterra’s Descent from the Cross. Taken to Paris (1729); returned in 1815. Engraved by F.

JOEST, JAN, born probably at Calcar about 1460, died at Haarlem in 1519. History painter, first instructed at Calcar, then formed himself undoubtedly in the school of Haarlem, whence he seems to have returned to Calcar in 1505, and began to paint the great altarpiece in the parish church of St. Nicholas, representing, in twenty panels, the Life, Passion, and Triumph of Christ, containing 216 figures, which was completed in 1508. This shows him to have been a skilful master, trained in the old school of the Netherlands. In all probability he then returned to Haarlem, where he seems to have spent the remainder of his life, and where he was buried in the cathedral of St. Bavon. A Holy Family, attributed to him, is in the Brussels Museum.--Allgem. Zeitg.

JUSTUS or JODOCUS OF GHENT, latter half of 15th century. Flemish school. Supposed by some to be identical with Justus de Allamagna or Giusto d’Alemania, who painted an Annunciation of the Virgin in the Convent of S. M. di Castello, Genoa, in 1451, but there is little if any evidence of it. Justus of Ghent, a contemporary of Van der Goes and of Van der Meire, and perhaps pupil of Hubert Van Eyck, was called to Urbino by Duke Federigo di Montefeltro to paint the portrait of his duchess, and to decorate his library. In 1470–74 he painted the Last Supper, an altarpiece for S. Agata, Urbino, now in the Town Gallery. In the Palazzo Barberini, Rome, and in the Louvre, are a series of panels representing poets, philosophers, etc., supposed to be the decorations of the library at Urbino. If Justus painted them, he tempered in his later work the harshness of the Flemish style with Italian breadth and freedom. Works attributed to him: The Last Judgment, Church of S. Maria, Dantzic; The Nativity, Benediction of the Holy Sacrament, Antwerp Museum.--Allgem. d.

KAUFFMANN, (MARIA ANNA) ANGELICA, born at Coire, Switzerland, Oct. 30, 1741, died in Rome, Nov. 5, 1807. History and portrait painter, daughter and pupil of Joseph Kauffmann, an inferior portrait painter, who was, at that time, employed by the Prince-Bishop of Coire. From 1742 until 1757 the family lived in North Italy, at Morbegno until 1752, at Como until 1754, where Angelica, at the age of eleven, attracted general attention by her portrait of the Bishop of Como, and finally at Milan, where she copied the masterworks of the Lombard school, and painted portraits. After her mother’s death, she went with her father to Schwarzenberg, Vorarlberg, his native place, and assisted him in decorating the parish church. Soon after completing this work, she returned to Italy, and having visited Milan, Bologna, and Parma, was in Florence in 1762, in Rome in 1763–64, whence she visited Naples, then in Bologna in 1765, and studied in Venice Titian, Tintoretto, and Paolo Veronese. In 1776 she accompanied Lady Wentworth to England, where she met with the most flattering reception. An unfortunate marriage with an impostor who had passed himself off for a Swedish Count Horn blighted her life, although she soon obtained a divorce. In 1769 she was elected one of the original members of the Royal Academy, to whose exhibitions she annually contributed until 1781, when she married the Venetian painter Antonio Zucchi, and went to Venice, and in 1782 to Rome and Naples, where she was in great favour with the royal family. On her return to Rome, the Emperor Joseph II. sought her acquaintance, and gave her commissions for his gallery. Her numerous compositions, although weak in drawing and often monotonous through repetition of the same subject, especially in her female figures, show in their warm colouring and graceful treatment the influence of Mengs. She painted her own portrait several times; her bust was placed in the Pantheon in 1808.

KNELLER (Kniller), Sir GODFREY, Bart., born in Lübeck, Aug. 8, 1646, died at Twickenham, Nov. 7, 1723. Dutch school; portrait painter, reputed to have studied under Rembrandt and Ferdinand Bol at Amsterdam, and in Rome (1672–74) under Carlo Maratta and Bernini (?); went afterwards to Venice, where he was well received by the leading families, whose portraits he painted. On his return from Italy, lived for a time in Hamburg, but was induced to go to England in 1674, and received such a flattering reception from Charles II. that he determined to remain there. After the death of Sir Peter Lely he was made court-painter, and he received equal favour from James II., William III., who knighted him (1692), Queen Anne, and George I., who made him a baronet (1715). His forty-three portraits of the members of the Kit Kat Club, and his Beauties at Hampton Court, are examples of his facile and meretricious style and corrupt taste. That he was the leading portrait painter of his day shows the low state of art at the time. “Where,” says Walpole, “he offered one picture to fame, he sacrificed twenty to lucre.” The National Portrait Gallery contains fifteen portraits by him, including Addison, Congreve, Watts, Wren, James II. (1685), and Lady Russell. Portraits of Addison, Pope, Dr. Wallis, and of himself, hang in the Bodleian Library, Oxford.
