244 Biographical Sketch of Antliony Scarpa\ 



property of Count Suardi of Bergamo, and which he declared 

 was the portrait of Guido Baldo, Duke of Urbani, the work of 

 the divine Raphael ; his decision may be seen in, a letter which 

 Scarpa published in the i?iWio^/i^5'M^ /ia/ii^ww^, . lo noitqriogeb 



In this journey he discovered a casque of antique? iroil, 

 admirably sculptured, which he made known by publishing an 

 account of it, enriched with superb engravings *.| // alqosq ^nooy 



It was in this manner that, surrounded with the varidus ob- 

 jects of his affections, he spent days worthy of emulation in his 

 beautiful mansion on the banks of the Po ; he was very fond of 

 agriculture, and though he did not publish any thing on this sub- 

 ject, he invented and practised new methods of cultivation which 

 have been frequently mentioned in different works, and adopted 

 with success by a great many farmers. It is difficult to find any 

 branch of the great tree of science which was not a source of en^- 

 joyment to him, and which he did not cultivate with success. . K 



The Anatomical Museum of Pavia, begun by Rezia, received 

 an augmentation from Scarpa, particularly of his own prepara- 

 tions-j-. Proceeding in his footsteps, Jacopi J, Fattori, and latter- 

 ly the celebrated Panizza, at present Professor of Anatomy, have 

 successfully enriched it, so that at present it may be fearlessly 

 designated as one of ..the^mqslf beautiful ,^n(J u§efvi) .pp^o^fti^al 

 museums in Europe ^^h <^b FrnfT^vbi? tpom '^dt ntmW *^^ 



The dignified and gentlemanly manner with which he filled the 

 chair of Professor, captivated the respect and the attention of 

 his audience. He may, perhaps, some day be equalled, — he will 

 never be surpassed. He had an admirable arrangement and 

 method : his discourse was as charming as it was perspicuous f, 

 his voice was sonorous and animated, and his eloquence com-r't 

 manded the most profound silence among his audience : his
