it into England and gave him Letters recommendatory to Sir Thomas Moore then Ld. Chancellour who receiv'd and entertain'd him with the greatest respect imaginable imploy'd him in making the Portraits of himself and Family and which the sight of them so charm'd King Henry VIII that he immediately took him into his service and by the many signal Instances which he gave him of his Royal Favour and Bounty brought him likewise into esteem with all the Nobility and People of Eminence in the Kingdom One of his best Pieces is that of the said King with his Queen c. at White-hall which with divers other admirable Portraits of his hand some as big and others less than the Life and as well in Water-Colours as Oyl may challenge a place amongst those of the most fam'd Italian Masters Vid.

He was eminent also for a rich vein of Invention very conspicuous in a multitude of Designs which he made for Gravers Sculptors Iewellers c. and was particularly remarkable for having like Turpilius the Roman perform'd all his Works with his Left hand He died of the Plague at London Anno 1554. PIERINO del VAGA was born at Florence Anno 1500 of such mean Parentage that his Mother being dead at two months end he was afterwards suckled by a Goat The name of Vaga he took from a Country Painter who carry'd him to Rome where he left him in such poor circumstances that he was forc'd to spend three days of the week in working for Bread but yet setting apart the other three for his improvement in a little time by studying the Antique together with the Works of Raphael and Michael Angelo he became one of the boldest and best Designers of the Roman School and understood the Muscles in naked Bodies and all the difficulties of the Art so well that Raphael took an affection to him and imploying him in the Popes Apartments gave him a lucky opportunity of distinguishing himself from his Fellow-disciples by the marvellous beauty of his Colouring and his peculiar Talent in Grotesque His chief Works are at Genoua where he grew famous likewise for his skill in Architecture having design'd a noble Palace for Prince Doria which he also painted and adorn'd with his own hand From Genoua he remov'd to Pisa and afterwards to several other parts of Italy his rambling humour never suffering him to continue long in one place till at length returning to Rome he had a Pension settled on him for looking after the Pope's Palace and the Casa Farnese But Pierino having squander'd away in his Youth that which should have been the support of his old Age and being constrain'd at last to make himself cheap by undertaking any little Pieces for a small Summ of ready money fell into a deep Melancholy and from that extreme into another as bad of Wine and Women and the next turn was into his Grave Anno 1547. FRANCESO MAZZUOLI call'd PARMEGIANO because born at Parma Anno 1504 was an eminent Painter when but sixteen years old famous all over Italy at nineteen and at twenty three perform'd such wonders that when the Emperour Charles V. had taken Rome by Storm some of the common Soldiers in sacking the Town having broke into his Apartments and found him intent upon his work were so astonish'd at the charming Beauty of his Pieces that instead of Plunder and Destruction which was then their business they resolv'd to protect him as they afterwards did from all manner of violence But besides the perfections of his Pencil which was one of the gentilest the most graceful and the most elegant of any in his time he delighted much in Music and therein also excell'd His principal Works are at Parma where for several years he liv'd in great Reputation till falling unhappily into the study of Chymistry he wasted the most considerable part of his Time and Fortunes in search of the Philosophers-Stone and died poor in the flower of his age Anno 1540. See farther Page 221 and note that there are extant many valuable Prints etch'd by this Master GIACOMO PALMA Senior commonly call'd PALMA VECCHIO was born at Serinalta in the State of Venice Anno 1508 and made such good use and advantage of the instructions which he receiv'd from Titian that few Masters are to be nam'd who have shewn a nobler Fancy in their Compositions a better Iudgment in their Designs more of Nature in their Expression or of Art in finishing their Works Venice was the place where he usually resided and where he died Anno 1556. His Pieces are not very numerous by reason of his having spent much time in bringing those which he has left behind him to such wonderful perfection DANIELE RICCIARELLI surnam'd da VOLTERRA from a Town in Tuscany where he was born Anno 1509 was a person of a melancholy and heavy temper and seem'd to be but meanly qualified by Nature for an Artist Yet by the instructions of Balthasar da Siena and his own continued Application and Industry he surmounted all difficulties and at length became so excellent a Designer that his Descent from the Cross in the Church of the Trinity on the Mount is rank'd amongst the principal Pieces in Rome He was chosen by Pope Paul IV. to cloath some of the Nudities in Michael Angelo's Last Iudgment which he perform'd with good success He was as eminent likewise for his Chisel as his Pencil and wrought several considerable things in Sculpture Ob.

FRANCESCO SALVIATI a Florentine born Anno 1510 was at first a Disciple of Andrea del Sarto and afterwards of Baccio Bandinelli and very well esteem'd both in Italy and France for his several works in Fresco Distemper and Oyl He was quick at Invention and as ready in the execution Graceful in his Naked Figures and as Gentile in his Draperies Yet his Talent did not lie in great Compositions And there are some of his Pieces in two Colours onely which have the name of being his best Performances He was naturally so fond and conceited of his own Works that he could hardly allow any body else a good word And 't is said that the Jealousie which he had of some Young men then growing up into reputation made him so uneasie that the very apprehensions of their proving better Artists than himself hasten'd his Death Anno 1563. PIRRO LIGORIO a Neapolitan liv'd in this time and tho' he address'd himself chiefly to the study of Architecture and for his skill in that Art was imploy'd and highly encourag'd by Pope Pius IV. yet he was withall an excellent Designer and by the many noble Cartoons which he made for Tapestries c. gave sufficient proof that he was more than indifferently learn'd in the Antiquities There are several Volumes of his Designs preserv'd in the Cabinet of the Duke of Savoy of which some part consists in a curious Collection of all the Ships and other sorts
