Villa Farnefe. He was invited to Florence by the grind 

 duke to finifh the cupola, left imperfedt by Vafari, and 

 fucceeded in pleafing his employer. 



Gregory XIII. engaged him to paint the vault of the 

 Capella Paolina ; but having fome difpute with the olicers 

 of his holinefs, he avenged himfelf by a fatirical pifture 

 which he exhibited. By this the pope was offended, and 

 Zuccaro was obliged to fly, and leave his great work un- 

 finifhed. He took refuge in France, where he was fome- 

 time employed by the cardinal of Lorrain ; and from 

 thence he went to Flanders, where he painted cartoons for 

 tapeftries. 



In 1574 he vifited England, and was received very fa- 

 vourably. Here he painted portraits. The queen fat to 

 him, and many of the nobility. How long he remained 

 here is not exaftly known. When he returned to Italy, he 

 went to refide at Venice, where the patriarch Grimani em- 

 ployed him in his chapel to finifh the frefco ornamertts begun 

 by Battifta Franco, and he added fome defigns of his own 

 to them. He alfo painted there a large pifture of the 

 Adoration of the Magi. In conjunftion with the great 

 mailers then living in Venice, he was employed in the hall 

 of the grand council of that city, and he obtained as his 

 reward the honour of knighthood. He foon after returned 

 to Rome, and the pope not only overlooked his indifcretion, 

 but allowed him to complete the work he had begun in the 

 Capella Paolina. 



On the acceflion of Sixtus V. he was invited to Madrid 

 by Philip II. to adorn the walls and ceilings of the Efcurial ; 

 but though he painted with his ufual fliilj, and covered im- 

 menfe quantities of fpace, he had not his ufual fuccefs in 

 affording pleafure to his patron. Philip was not gratified 

 with his works, and Zuccaro was difmiflied ; not, however, 

 without being munificently rewarded for his labours. The 

 works he left behind him were afterwards covered over by 

 others from the hand of Pellegrini Tibaldi. On his return 

 to Rome he eftabliihed the academy of St. Luke, for which 

 he received letters patent from Gregory XIII., and to 

 which, at his death, which happened in 1609, he bequeathed 

 all his property. 



The talents of the Zuccaros were more fplendid than 

 great. They defigned and executed with facility ; but 

 aiming at grandeur, fell into manner ; and the vice of man- 

 nerifm touches alfo the colour and chiaro ofcuro of their 

 produAions. Sometimes happy in all parts, but more fre- 

 quently defe&ive in the principal one of expreffion and 

 feeling, their works pleafe without gratifymg ; and though 

 they attraft, do not abforb the fpeftator.

ZUCCHERELLI, Francesco, in Biography, a very 

 pleafing landfcape painter, was born at Pitigliano in Tuf- 

 cany, in 1702. He for fome time attempted hiilory, but 

 abandoned it, and adhered folely to landfcapes, which he 

 adorned with verv agreeably compofed groups of figures. 

 In 1752 he vifited England, where he was much encouraged ; 

 but our greateft debt to him is due for his having perfuaded 

 Wilfon to adopt landfcape for his objeft, inllead of portrait. 

 For this liberal aft what adequate thanks can be offered to 

 his memory ? At the foundation of the Royal Academy
