 merit of the work. The charafters of tlie heads appear to 

 have been well rendered, except that ot the Saviour. 

 Thofe of St. John, St. Simon, and St. James, are excel- 

 lently wrought, tlie former efpecially : indeed it appears fo 

 dillinftly more complete tlian any other in colour and cha- 

 ra£ler, that one might think the great mailer's hand had 

 , been employed upon it. The hands, however, are ill 

 drawn, and tamely executed ; and the teet much too large, 

 and out of keeping. The draperies alfo are laboured, and 

 a part is cut off the top of the pifture, which injures the 

 perfpettive of the room in which the figures are feated.

 a work, Mr. Fufeli has obferved, " which lurprifes by its 

 variety and fpirit : few Lombards have reached that degree 

 of expreffion which ftrikes here, for the art of its compofi- 

 tioii, and the fancy of its draperies." Of his oil piftures, 

 two of the moll elteemed are at Milan, one at St. Paolo in 

 Compito, the other in St. Eufemia ; but they are interior 

 to his frefcoes. He died in 1530, aged about 50.

UGHELLl, Fkrdi.mando, in Biography, an ecclefi^f- 

 tical hiilorian, was born of a good family at Florence in 

 I J9J ; in his youth entered into the Ciftercian order, and 

 finilhed his (Indies at Rome. After having paflT-d through 

 various offices in different monaileries, he was elected abbot 

 of St. Vincent, &c. at Rome, theologian to cardinal Carlo 

 de Medici, and confultanl of the congregation of the Index. 

 He was alfo domcllic prelate to pope Alexander VIL; who 

 gave him a penfion, augmented by Clement IX. He de- 

 clined accepting any bifliopric, though leveral were offered 

 him, becaufe he preferred purfuing his lludies at Rome. 

 Having undertaken to give a fcries of the bifhops of all 

 the churches in Italy, with an illuflration of each church, 

 deduced from documents in their rcfpedlive archives, he em- 

 ployed feveral perfons to affill him ; and the work was 

 printed at Rome in 9 vols., from 1642 to 1648, under the 

 title of " Italia facra, five de Epifcopis Italix et Infularum 

 adjacentium, rebufque aliis praeclare geftis, dedudla ferie ad 

 nollram ufque jEtatem, Opus fingularc." A new edition 

 of this work was begun at Venice in 17 17, and completed 

 in 1733, '" "^ '^o\s. folio, with confiderable additions. 

 Ughelli alfo made additions to the lives of the popes by 

 Ciaconius, and pubhlhed eulogies of the cardinals of the 

 Cillercian order, and thofe of the Colonna family, and 

 genealogies of the Marfciano and Capifucchi families. He 

 died at Rome in 1670, at the age of 75. Moreri. Gen.

UGONE, Mattia, in Biography, was a native of 

 Brefcia at the commencement of the 16th century, a doftor 

 of laws, and bilhop of Famagolla, in the ifland of Cyprus. 

 His principal performance is a treatife on councils, entitled 

 " Synodia Ugonia," approved by a bull of Paul HI. in 1^43, 

 and printed at Venice in 1565. Dupin pronounces it one 

 of the bed and fuUeft treatifes written on that fubjeft in the 

 i6fh century. This writer maintains, that a council is fu- 

 perior to tlie pope, and may depofe him, not only for herefy 

 and fchifm, but for any notorious crime, perfifled in after 

 admonition ; and that, in matters of faith, and fuch as con- 

 cern the ftate of the church, or its head, the judgment of the 

 council is to be preferred to that of the pope. He died in 

 1616 Dupin. Gen. Biog.
