 feau, on large plates, engraved with boldnefs, but very in- 

 ferior, in talic and ftyle, to the belt reprcfentations of Uich 

 fubjcfts, by Piranefi and Rooker. 



Giovanni Battiila Cipriani fhould not be left unmenticned 

 among the Italian engravers of this period. Of his bio- 

 graphy we have already treated. (See Cli'ta.AM ) He 

 etched fcveral plates with confiderable fpiiit, and a fim- 

 plicity of ftyle in his handhng, which borders on drynefs, 

 of which fomc are from his own compofition, and fome from 

 thofe of other readers. 



Among thcfe are feveral portraits of diftinguifhed cha- 

 rafters, who lived in the time of Ci-om.well, of which four 

 head.s of Milton, which being taken at different periods of 

 his life, from infancy to age, form an interelling phyfiogno- 

 mical ferics, are particularly worthy of notice. They arc 

 rare, and intrinfically valuable prints, of 410. or rather fmall 

 foho fize, in ovals, and are done from originals which werc 

 in the pofienion of T. B. Hollis, efq. and which, therefore, 

 have every claim to authenticity. 



He alfo etched, " The Defcent from the Crofs," after 

 Vandyke ; " The Death of Cicopatra," after Ber.venuto 

 Cellini ; and " The Defcent of the Holy Ghoil," after 

 Gabbiaiii ; and, from his own defign, " The Motlier and 

 Child," in folio, and fome others. 



Gio.^'eflo Zucchi was born at Venice A.D. 1730, where 

 he worked for fome time in conjnnftion with Amiconi n:;d 

 Wagner, engraving for the fame lets of rur:d and hiilorical 

 prints, in which appear the names of Wagner and Bar'o- 

 lozzi. He afterwards went to Florence, where he painted 

 the ornaments of the principal pleafure houfes and villas 

 in that city and its neighbourhood, from which prints were 

 engraved. Of thefe he himfelf engraved two, and in many 

 of die other plates he etched the figures. He alfo engraved 

 after different mailers and from his own compofitions,' many 

 other fubjcfts, among which arc the following : — A hall" 

 figure of a man, with a furred hat on, in 410. ; rural coiiver- 

 fation; " The Pafiage through the Red Sea," in large folio, 

 fiippofed to be after Bourguignoii ; " The Virgin and 

 Child crowned by Angels," after Guido, in 4to. ; ".Tofepli 

 fold by liis Brethren ;" " The Rape of Europa," after 

 Pefarefe : « The Malk of Vice taken from Hillory" after

 Ceres;" after P. Cortona, in folio; " The Choice of 

 Hercules,'' after the fame painter, in folio; " The three 

 Graces, " one of whom plays the lyre; while the other two

 defcending to Hades," after Solimene, in Imall folio. 



Giofeffo Zucchi, the younger, was born in the fame citv 

 A.D. 1732, and was probably related to the fore-mentioned 

 ariift. He came to London in queft of profcfiional employ- 

 ment as an engraver; and here he became acquainted wiili 

 Angehca Kaufiman, with whom he travelled to Rome, and 

 afterwards maiTied. The engravings that wc know cS, *'y
