an Italian, born at Pavia, became archbishop of Canterbury in 1070. He disputed against Berengarius in the council held at Rome in 1059, and wrote against him concerning the real presence in the eucharist. He had other disputes, &c., and died in 1089.
John, an eminent Italian history painter, born at Parma in 1581. He was first the disciple of Augustin Caracci; and, after his death, of Hannibal, whose taste in design and colouring he so happily attained, that he was intrusted to execute some of his designs in the Farnese palace at Rome. These he finished in so masterly a manner, that the difference is imperceptible to this day between his work and that of his master. His genius directed him to grand compositions, which he had a peculiar facility in designing and in painting either in fresco or in oil; he did indeed aspire to the grace of Correggio, but could never arrive at his excellence; his greatest power being manifested in composition and form shortening. He was deficient in correctness and expression; and his colouring, though sometimes admirable, was frequently too dark. By order of Pope Urban VIII., he painted in St Peter's church at Rome the representation of that saint walking on the water, which afforded the pope so much satisfaction that he knighted him. He died in 1647.
