CAGLIARI — CALDARA.
171
Engraver, Villamena, Francesco. Presentation in the Temple ;
this plate was commenced by Agostino Carracci ; it is rare.
Engraver, Visscher, Cornelius. The Ascension.
'Engraver, Volpato, Gio. The Feast in the House of Simon.
Engraver, Vorsterman, Lucas. S. Helena seeing the Cross.
Engraver, Wagner, Joseph. Enthroned Madonna with infant
S. John and other saints.
Engraver, Zucchi, Andrea. S. John the Baptist.
Cagnacci, Guido, born at Castel Durante (1600-1680). Pupil of
Guido Reni. He merits honorable mention among Bolognese artists.
He avoided all hardness, and so blended his tints as to soften and
round the limbs of his figures. The Emperor Leopold I. was his
patron, and he spent much time at Vienna. His works are better
known in Germany than in Italy.
Cairo, Cavaliere Francesco (1598-1674). Pupil of Morazzone,
he became enamored of Venetian coloring, and studied the works of
Titian and Paul Veronese. The result was an admirable style. One
of his best works is the S. Theresa in S. Carlo in Venice. His pic-
tures are also at Milan and Turin.
Calabrese. See Preti.
Calabrese. See Cardisco.
Calandra, Gio. Batista. One of the first mosaists who wrought
in the Vatican. On account of the injury to oil paintings in S.
Peter’s, resulting from dampness, it was determined during the reign
of Urban VIII. to replace them by copies in mosaic. The first altar-
piece was a S. Michael after Cesare d’Arpino, executed by Calandra.
Calcar, Hans Von. Real name, Hans Stephanus (1510-1546).
Of the Italian School of painting. In 1536-3 7 he resided in Ven-
ice, and studied under Titian, whom he so imitated that it is
sometimes difficult to distinguish their respective works. No histori-
cal work known to be his remains. His portraits are fine and rare.
Berlin Mus. No. 190; a man with a letter in his hand, at Vienna;
and one in the Louvre, which has been ascribed to both Paris Bor-
done and Tintoretto.
Caldara, Folidoro, called Caravaggio from his birthplace (1495-
1543). This painter began life as a mason and was employed at the
Vatican, where, in 1512, he became acquainted with Matturino, of
Florence, who instructed him in drawing and made him his assistant
in the decorative works in which he was employed. Together they
executed fresco chiaro-scuri which were much praised, even by Ra-
phael. These are known now only by the engravings from them by
Cherubino Alberti, Galestruzzi, and others. In 1527, the sack of
Rome interrupted their work, and the two painters were separated.
Polidoro went to Naples, and from there to Messina, where he es-
tablished a good reputation as an artist. In 1543, having made a
comfortable fortune, he prepared to return to Rome, but was mur-
