CALCAR, John de, a celebrated painter, was the disciple of Titian, and perfected himself by studying Raphael. Among other pieces he drew a Nativity, representing the angels around the infant Christ; and so ordered the disposition of his picture, that the light all proceeds from the Child. He died at Naples, in 1546, in the flower of his age. It was he who designed the anatomical figures of Vesali, and the portraits of the painters of Vesali.
