him in Rome other artists who were fascinated with his doctrine.
Th£ “History of Joseph” in La Salle Bartoldi, and “Jerusalem
Delivered ” at the Villa Massimi, are grand frescoes executed under
his direction. Among his oil paintings are the “ Entrance of Christ
into Jerusalem,” ch. of Notre-Dame at Lubeck; “ Christ on the
Mount of Olives,” at Hamburg; the “Marriage of the Virgin; ” va-
rious Holy Families; the “ Influence of Art upon Religion,” etc.
Ovens, Jurian, born at Amsterdam (about 1620-1675 ?). Pupil
of Rembrandt. He excelled in portraits and the representation of
night scenes. The “ Conspiracy of Claudius Civilis,” in the Town
Hall of Amsterdam, is a chef-d'oeuvre. In the Huyssittenhuys at
Amsterdam there is a picture of seven Regents sitting round a table,
which is excellent for its animation and powerful treatment.
P.
Pacchia, Girolamo del, born at Siena (1477-1535 ?). Son of a
Hungarian who made himself famous as a founder of cannon. Noth-
ing is known of the teachers of Del Pacchia. In 1500 he was in
Rome, and from 1508 to 1511 he painted pictures which are known
only by the accounts of them. The earliest of his remaining works
are in the churches of S. Christoforo and S. Spirito at Siena. These
are in advance of the Sienese pictures of'his time in drawing and ex-
pression, and the color is excellent. He was in Siena in 1515, but
no works of that year remain. In 1518 he competed with Bazzi and
Beccafumi for the frescoes for S. Bernardino. In these he appears to
have adopted some of the traits of Pinturicchio, but is still original.
In 1533 he became entangled with the dangerous Bardotti club, and
two years later disappeared from Siena, and nothing more is known
of him. Many of the pictures which have been ascribed to Pacchi-
arotti doubtless belong to Del Pacchia, who was the superior artist.
Of these may be mentioned a “ Holy Family ” in the Siena Acad., a
“ S. Bernard ” in the Pinakothek of Munich, and a “ Madonna ” in
the National Gall.
Pacchiarotti, Jacopo, born at Siena (1474-1540). This artist
led a troubled life. He was involved in a political conspiracy, and
is said to have fled to France in 1535. He had returned to Siena in
1539, when he was banished and declared an outlaw by the govern-
ment; through the influence of his wife he was restored to his family
in 1540, after which time nothing positive is known concerning him.
Vasari did not mention Pacchiarotti, and although he executed some
great works, he has been comparatively neglected by posterity. He
was not equal to Perugino in color, but in other respects he surpassed
him, and there is no proof of his having studied under that master,
as has sometimes been stated. His best remaining works are in the
churches and the Acad, of Siena. In the ch. of S. Catherine there
