National Gall., and the excellent portraits of Mrs. Siddons and Dr.
Ralph Shomberg are also there. In the Edinburgh Gall, there is a
fine likeness of the Hon. Mrs. Graham. Some of his best pictures
of genre subjects are, the “ Shepherd Boy in a Shower; ” the “ Wood-
man and Dog in a Storm; ” the “ Cottage Door; ” and the “ Cottage
Girl with Dog and Pitcher.” His pictures command high prices,
one having been sold in 1867 for £1800. Many of his works have
been engraved.
Galanino, called Baldassare Alloisi, born at Bologna (1578-
1638). Pupil of the Carracci, and one of the ablest artists of their
school. He was very busy in Rome in painting portraits of the
most illustrious men of the time of Urban VIII. His larger works
were for the churches of Bologna, and the great altar-piece for the
ch. of Gesu e Maria, at Rome.
Galassi, Galasso, born at Ferrara, 1380. But few of his works
remain, and these are in the churches of Bologna. It has been said
that he learned the use of oil colors from Van der Weyden, but all
his known paintings are frescoes.
Galaton. A Greek painter who probably lived under the earlier
Ptolemies. He executed a picture probably intended to ridicule the
Alexandrian epic poets. It represented Homer vomiting, and other
poets gathering up what fell from him.
Galestruzzi, Gio. Batista. Of his paintings
little is known, but he was the friend of Della Bella,
whose manner he imitated in engraving, and acquired
a good reputation. His plates are numerous, and
some of them are rare. He flourished about the middle of the 17th
century.
T-v Galls, Philip, born at Haerlem, 1537. The first
l—KJ xfU a family of engravers consisting of Theodore,
1 / MJ 1560, and Cornelius the Elder, 1570 (sons of Philip),
and Cornelius the Younger, 1600. Cornelius the
Elder excelled the others, and after studying in Rome established
himself in Antwerp as an engraver and print-seller. He left a con-
siderable number of plates, which are well esteemed.
Gallegos, Fernando, born at Salamanca, probably about 1475.
He followed the manner of Van der Weyden and Memling. He has
been called a pupil of Albert Diirer, and his works are said to resem-
ble those of that master. His best picture is a Madonna, in the
chapel of S. Clement, in Salamanca.
Galli, Gio. Maria, called Bibiena from his birthplace (1625-1665).
The first of a family who distinguished themselves in art. He was a
pupil of Albano, whose gracefulness he successfully imitated. Some
of his finest works are in the churches of Bologna.
Galli, Ferdinando, called Bibiena, born at Bologna (1657-1743).
Son of the preceding, he was very eminent as an ornamental and
