enter; “Virgin and Child” with S. Joseph and a kneeling man;
Parma Gall., an “Annunciation” on wood, painted in oil; ch. of
S. Paolo, a room painted in various designs ; ch. of S- Sepolcro, pic-
ture of “ S. Ubaldus, between the archangels Michael and Ra-
phael ; ” with an “ Annunciation” and “Pieth” in the pediment.
Arbasia, Cesare, born at Saluzzo. Flourished 15-83-1614. A
pupil of Federigo Zucchero. Painted in oil and fresco, but excelled
in the latter. He went to Spain and worked in Cordova and Ma-
laga. In 1583 he painted the “ Martyrs ” of the former city in the
Cath. For a picture of the “ Incarnation,” in the Oath, of Malaga,
he received three thousand ducats. About 1588 he went to Rome
with his former master. He was one of the founders of the Acad,
of S. Luke, of which Federigo was the first president.
Arce, Josef de. A pupil of Martinez Montanes. He executed
eight colossal stone statues, representing the four Evangelists and
four doctors of the Church, which were placed on the balustrades of
the Sagrario of the Cath. of Seville. He also carved in wood the
saints which adorned the high altar of the Carthusians at Xeres.
Archer, Wykeham, born at Newcastle-upon-Tyne (1806-1864).
He studied engraving ^vith John Scott of London. He made etch-
ings of places of interest at Newcastle and Hexham. At Edinburgh,
he made drawings of the streets and edifices of the town, and re-
turned to London to perfect himself in etching upon steel. He was
a member of the new society of painters in water-colors. Mr. Ar-
cher was author of “Vestiges of Old London,” illustrated by etch-
ings ; and a contributor to different journals. He claimed to have
revived the practice of engraving in monumental brass, and executed
works of that description. He also painted a little in oil.
Arcimboldi, Giuseppe, born at Milan, 1533; died at Prague,
1593. Hj was court painter to Maximilian II. and the Emperor
Rodolph. He excelled in painting interiors, kitchens, fruits, vege-
tables, utensils, etc. He also painted capricci, or pictures which
looked like figures in the distance, but fell into heaps of flowers and
leaves as one approached them.
Arco, Alonso del, born at Madrid (1625-1700). Called El Sor-
dillo de Pereda, and a disciple of Antonio de Pereda. He was deaf
and dumb from his birth. Palomino praises him. Stirling says his
pictures were mostly painted for public occasions, such as triumphal
processions, etc. Many of his works were in the public buildings of
Madrid and throughout Spain.
Ar dell, Janies Me, born about 1710. A native of Ireland, or the
son of Irish parents. One of the best mezzotinto engravers. The
number of his plates is large. Many of them are portraits of dis-
tinguished men of His time. He left a few plates of historical sub-
jects after Vandyck, Murillo, Rembrandt, etc., some of which are
extremely fine.
