BOROGNONE, a celebrated painter, whose true name was Giacomo Corte; but he is commonly called Borognone, from the country where he was born, about the year 1605. He was much admired and highly applauded for his admirable gusto and grand manner of painting battles. He had for several years been conversant in military affairs, was an officer of considerable rank in the army, made the camp his school, and formed all his ideas from what he had seen performed in the field. His style is roughly noble, full of fire and spirit, and there are a few prints etched by his own hand. Towards the close of his life he retired to the Jesuits convent at Rome, where he is said to have taken sanctuary to rid his hands of an ill bargain he had got of a wife; but happily surviving her, he lived in great esteem and honour till after the year 1675.
