36. Catolfi, Matteo di (Giovan) Batta.
Flor., b. 15—, d.-. P. His name appears on
A.D., R. 24, c. 81 in Feb. 1568/9. In 1571 a picture
by him, “ The Birth of S. John,” was hung up in
the Academy [A.D., R. 24, c. 31*]. From an entry
in the Register of Matricoli of June 22, 1584 [id.
56. c. 76*], it results that Matteo was then in Rome.

executed for Buonarroti’s solemn obsequies, held in
Florence in 1564. He res. at the Canto de’ Monte-
lauri near Sant’ Ambrogio. M. was buried in the
church of S. Piero Maggiore, and, from the date of
his registration in the Phy. A., appears to have died
young. His father was a dyer.
Principal Works :—Florence (Pitti Gallery No.

man).

and S.L.)
38. Cavallini, Pietro. Rome, b. 12—, d. 13—.
P. MO (Roman school). P. grew in art under and
worked with the Cosmati, and has been considered
a scion of their family. Sir H. Layard says that P.
was neither a scholar nor a follower of Giotto;
but Crowe and Cavalcaselle state that he assisted
the Master in his works in Rome. m. of Giovanni
da Pistoia (? Cristiani). According to Vasari, P.
sojourned in several places in central Italy. It is
certain that in 1308 he was at Naples in the service
of King Robert, with an annual stipend of 30 oz.
of gold and 2 oz. for his lodging. The dates of the
birth and death of P. are uncertain; c. 1250 has
been given as that of his birth, and 1344 and 1364,
variously, as the year in which he died. Vasari
says that he lived to the age of eighty-five. Per-
haps the most probable assumption is that he was
born about, perhaps a little after, 1260, and that
he died between 1345 and 1350.

manded payment of 42 lire, balance of certain
paintings executed by him for Benedetto Buon-
consigli [id. 63, c. 22*]. On Oct. 31, 1596, Goro
