the name of two eminent painters, who lived in our own times. Andrea was the best fresco painter of his age, and imitated the style of Coreggio. He was the pensioned artist to the kingdom of Italy. His best pictures are in the vice-regal palace at Milan, and in one of the churches of that city; where he was born in 1754, and died in 1814, of grief, it is said, for the loss of his patron and his pension. Francesco is said, by Lanzi, to be fully entitled as a fresco painter to notice in a history of the art. He was a pupil of Magatta, and had an agreeable style, as appears by his works at Perugia, where he principally lived. The same authority mentions that many of his easel pictures went to Britain. He was born in 1702, and died in 1792, aged 90; an instance of "vigour unexampled except in the case of Tiziano."
