CAMPALASTRO — CANAL.
175
Campalas tro, Ludovico, born at Ferrara. His best works are
in the churches of that city.
Campanna, Pedro, born at Brussels (1503-1570). Went when
very young to Italy, where he gained a good reputation, and in 1530
was invited to Spain by Charles V. His principal works are at
Seville.
Camphuysen, Theodore Raphael, born at Gorcum (1586-
1626 ?). Pupil of Dietric Govertze. An imitator of Paul Potter.
The facts of his life are not known, and are variously stated by differ-
ent authors. According to Smith, No. 527, Cassel Gall., represent-
ing cattle life size, is by Camphuysen.
Campi, G-aleazzo. A Cremonese of little reputation, who flourished
in the early part of the 16th century, and whose best work is his own
portrait in the Florence Gall.
Campi, Giulio, born at Cremona (1500-1572). Son of the pre-
ceding. Head of the Eclectic school at Cremona. He attempted to
unite the excellences of the Roman and more northern schools, and
has been called the Ludovico Caracci of Cremona, although his
reform must have preceded that of Ludovico. He admired Raphael,
Titian, and Giorgione. His best works are in Cremona, Milan,
and Mantua.
Campi, Antonio, born at Cremona. Flourished about 1586.
Brother and pupil of Giulio. He excelled most as an architect. His
pictures were mannered. His best one is that of “ S. Paul resusci-
tating Eutychus,” which was engraved by Agostino Caracci.
Campi, Vincenzo, died 1591. Also brother of Giulio, and in-
structed by him. His best pictures were those of still-life, but he was
much inferior to his brothers.
Campi, Bernardino, born at Cremona (1522-1592). Also
brother of Giulio, and the greatest of the Campi. After studying
under Giulio, and at Mantua, he went to Parma and Modena to study
the manner of Correggio. Returning to Cremona he executed im-
portant works, the best of which are in the ch. of S. Gismondi. In
the cupola he painted an immense representation of the “ Blessed of
the Old and New Testaments.” The figures are seven braccia
high and are very numerous, each one being distinguished by an
appropriate symbol. He completed this great work in seven months.
The Campi were the best Cremonese artists of their time, but they
were extremely mechanical in their style.
Canachus. A sculptor of Sicyon. Lived probably at the begin-
ning of the 5th century b. c. He excelled more in technicalities and
in the excellence of the separate parts of his works than in the grace
and beauty of the whole. One of his most important works was a
colossal brazen “ Apollo ” at Miletus. Of this we have copies in a
statuette in the British Mus., and on Milesian coins.
Canal or Canale, Antonio, called Canaletto, born in Venice,
