masters, but lie seems in the end to have attempted to imitate him,
and so well succeeded that his pictures are sometimes mistaken for
those of that master. He is not a pleasing painter, and shows no
deep love of art; he painted for money, and was a sensual man.
He is said to have died of the plague, contracted in a low place
which he visited.
Pulzone, Scipione, called Gaetano, born at Gaeta (1550-1588 ?).
A portrait painter of such excellence that he has been called the
“ Vandyck of the Roman school.” He also painted some historical
pictures, the best of which are in Rome.
Pynacker, Adam (1621-1673). This painter went when young
to Italy. His pictures are landscapes, but many of them are enli-
vened with figures and animals. His remaining works are few,
probably because he spent much time in adorning the rooms in
Dutch houses, which was then the fashion. Many of the laro-e
European galleries have specimens of his works. He usually adopted
a cool tone, for which reason he excelled in morning scenes. Smith
estimates the number of his pictures at sixty-nine.
Q.
Quaglio, Dominik, born at Munich (1787-1837). This artist
commenced as a scene-painter, but afterwards devoted himself to
architectural painting, in which he became eminent. His pictures
of cathedrals, and his architectural views in South Germany, are
admirable.
Quellinus, Arthur, born at Antwerp, 1607. Pupil of Duquesnoy.
He executed the sculptures which decorate the magnificent Town
Hall built in Amsterdam in 1648. The interior figures are simple
and noble in style, and those of the exterior are vigorous and
natural. He was one of the most able and imaginative sculptors of
his time.
Quellinus, Erasmus, born at Antwerp (1607-16 78). An educated
man and the friend of Rubens and Gevartius. It is said that he was
at one time professor of philosophy, but his love for painting induced
him to vacate his chair. His pictures were very unequal in excel-
lence. They are seen in the churches of Antwerp, and some of the
best are in the Mus. of that city.
Quellinus, John Erasmus. Son of preceding, born at Antwerp
(1629-1715 ?). He visited Italy, and became an imitator of Paul
Veronese. He used immense canvases. The “ Coronation of Charles
V. as King of Rome,” in the Vienna Gall., and the “ Pool of Be-
thesda,” in the Antwerp Mus., are two of his best works; the former
is much the best.
Quercia, Jacopo della (1374-1438). Son of a goldsmith, in
whose art he was educated. He possessed an inventive mind and

masters, but lie seems in the end to have attempted to imitate him,
