with fo much union, that his greateft works feem to have 

 been finished in the compafs of one day -, and appear as if we 

 faw them in a looking-glafs. His landfcape is equally beau- 

 tiful with his figures. 



At the fame time with Correggio, lived and flourifhed 

 PARMEGIANO; who, befides his great manner of colouring, 

 excelled alfo both in invention and defign; with a genius full 

 of delicacy and fpirit, having nothing that was ungraceful in 

 his choice of attitudes, or in the drefles of his figures, which 

 we cannot fay of Correggio ; there are pieces of Parmegiano's, 

 very beautiful and correct. 



Thefe two Painters laft mentioned had very good Difciples, 

 but they are known only to thofe of their own province -, and 

 befides, there is little to be credited of what his countrymen 

 fay, for Painting is wholly extinguimed amongft them. 



I fiy nothing of LEONARDO DA VINCI, becaufe I have feen 

 but little of his ; though he reftored the arts at Milan, and 

 had there many Scholars. 



LUDOVICO CARRACHE, the Coufm German of Hannibal 

 and Auguftino, fludied at Parma after Correggio ; and excelled 

 in deiign and colouring, with a grace and clearnefs, which 

 Guido, the Scholar of Hannibal, afterwards imitated with 

 great fuccefs. There are fome of his pictures to be feen, which 

 are very beautiful, and well underflood. He made his ordi- 

 nary refidence at Bologna j and it was he who put the pencil 

 into the hands of Hannibal his Coufm. 



HANNIBAL, in a little time, excelled his Matter in all parts 

 of Painting. He imitated Correggio, Titian, and Raphael, in 

 their different manners as he pleafed ; excepting only, that 

 you fee not in his pictures the noblenefs, the graces, and the 

 charms of Raphael - y and his outlines are neither fo pure, nor 

 fo elegant as his. In all other things he is wonderfully ac- 

 complilhed, and of an univerfal genius.
