is a representation of that saint visiting the body of S. Agnes, which
is full of tenderness, grace, and beauty.
Pacheco, Francesco, born at Seville (1571-1654). More cele-
brated as a writer upon art and as the teacher of Alonso Cano and
Velasquez, than for his own pictures. He studied only at Seville,
and did not visit Madrid. or see the works of any great masters until
1611. He then returned to his native city and established a school
where younger men than himself could have a thorough and system-
atic education in art. We are led to believe that he improved
much himself, from his own and other descriptions of his picture of
the “Last Judgment,” but the work no longer exists. Pacheco suc-
ceeded best in small portraits, and among the famous men who sat
to him was the author of “ Don Quixote,” Miguel De Cervantes
Saavedra. Pacheco was the first to properly paint and gild statues
and relievi, and some specimens of his work of this sort still remain
in Seville. His treatise on the art of painting obtained him much
reputation in Spain. In the Gall, of the Queen of Spain there is a
picture of S. Inez by Pacheco.
Padouanino. See Varotari.
Paelinck, Joseph, born at Oostacker near Ghent (1781-1839).
An historical painter whose works entitle him to eminence among
modern Belgian artists. He spent several years in Paris and Rome,
and while in the latter city painted his chef’-d’oeuvre, representing the
“ Invention of the Cross,” now in the ch. of S. Michel in Ghent.
Other works of his are in Antwerp, Malines, Oudenarde, and other
cities of Belgium. His religious subjects are his best works, because
more free from academic affectation than his mythological and other
pictures.
Paggi or Pagi, Gio. Battista, born at Genoa (1554-1627 ?). Pupil
of Luca Cambiaso. He killed an antagonist in a quarrel, and fled to
Florence, where he lived twenty years and was much patronized by
the court, In 1600 he was invited to return to Genoa, and was con-
stantly employed, both for public and private collections, until his
death. His works are seen in Florence, Pavia, and Genoa.
Pajou, Augustin, born at Paris (1730-1809). At the age of
eighteen this sculptor gained the grand prize at Paris, and went by
means of the King’s pension to Rome. He remained there twelve
years, and after his return to France became famous and was much
employed. He executed the sculptures for the faqade of the Palais
Royal, and the figures of Prudence and Liberality, Mars and Apollo,
for the garden of the same Pal.; the sculptures for the opera house at
Versailles; a Psyche Abandoned in the Luxembourg; statues of
Descartes and Bossuet; the ornaments of the Cath. of Orleans, and
many other works. He gained admittance to the French Acad, by
his group of “ Pluto holding Cerberus in Chains,” and was made pro-
fessor of sculpture in that institution. During the time of Napoleon
