GADDI, AGNOLO, died in Florence, Oct., 1396. Florentine school; son
and pupil of Taddeo Gaddi, and like him a follower of Giotto. His
early labours were in the church of S. Jacopo tra’ Fossi, Florence,
where the Raising of Lazarus was treated, according to Vasari, in an
exceedingly realistic manner; but he must have changed his style,
as there are no traces of such realism in his later frescos. Those
in the parish church of Prato (1365), a double series, at the ends
of a central aisle, representing the legends of the Virgin and the
sacred girdle, are the best and probably the earliest of his works.
In them he was evidently guided by Giotto’s maxims in regard to the
composition, and they are more perfect in balance and therefore more
pleasing than any of Taddeo’s. The figures also have more repose and
dignity, and more nature and individuality. The drawing is free and
bold, though not always correct, and the colouring bright, clear,
light, and transparent in its tones. But, though superior to Taddeo,
Agnolo was inferior to Orcagna, and art in his hands had somewhat
degenerated and become decorative. Other examples of Agnolo’s work
are eight frescos of the legend of the Cross, in the choir of S.
Croce, Florence; and a Madonna, Angels, and Saints, Florence Academy;
Annunciation, Uffizi, Florence; do., Louvre.--C. & C., Italy, i.
463; Lübke, Gesch. ital. Mal., i. 148; Vasari, ed. Le Mon., ii. 150;
Seguier, 79; Baldinucci, i. 225; W. & W., i. 455.
GADDI, GADDO, born in 1239, died in 1312. Florentine school. An
intimate friend of Cimabue, whom he survived twelve years. He laid
the foundation of a fortune which raised his family to the highest
social distinction. According to Vasari, he executed mosaics in
the Baptistery, and in S. Maria del Fiore, Florence. In 1308 he
was invited by Clement V. to Rome, and certain mosaics in S.
Maria Maggiore are assigned to him. They are more modern in style
than Rusutti’s mosaic in the same church, and mark the transition
between Cimabue and Giotto. Vasari says that he painted many easel
pictures, and he probably took part in the decoration of the upper
church of Assisi.--C. & C., Italy, i. 229; Vasari, ed. Mil., i. 345;
Baldinucci, i. 89.

GADDI, TADDEO, born about 1300, died after 1366. Florentine school;
son and pupil of Gaddo Gaddi, and godson and disciple of Giotto,
with whom he worked twenty-four years. After the death of his master
he was considered the first in his art, which, however, but dimly
reflected that of Giotto. His artistic career began when Giotto
went to Naples, at which time (1352–56) he painted the frescos of
the legend of the Virgin assigned to him in the Baroncelli chapel
in S. Croce, Florence. These show that he had little fancy, and
that his execution was rapid, decorative, and conventional. Remains
of other frescos by him are in S. Francesco, Pisa. A Madonna with
Donors and Saints, Berlin Museum, is signed and dated 1334; and a
Virgin Enthroned with six Angels, Siena Gallery, is dated 1355. Two
small panels, Berlin Museum, part of a series of which twelve more
are in the Florence Academy, though ascribed to Giotto and designed
by him, are evidently painted by Taddeo. The Baptism of Christ, and
Sixteen Saints, National Gallery, London, belong to this painter’s
school, and the predella of an altarpiece, three subjects, Louvre,
is attributable to him. Taddeo was also an architect, and designed
the Ponte Vecchio and the Ponte a S. Trinità.--C.& C., Italy, i.
354; Lübke, Gesch. ital. Mal., i. 140; Vasari, ed. Mil., i. 571;

GAINSBOROUGH, THOMAS, born at Sudbury, Suffolk, baptised May 14,
1727, died in London, Aug. 2, 1788, British school; went to London
in 1741, and became a pupil of Gravelot, the French engraver;
then of Francis Hayman, with whom he studied drawing. After an
unsuccessful struggle as a portrait and landscape painter in London,
he returned home in 1744 or 1745, and in 1760 settled in Bath, where
he devoted himself chiefly to portraiture; in 1774 he went again to
London, and won such a reputation that he was considered the rival
of Reynolds in portrait, and of Wilson in landscape, painting. In
1766 he became a member of the Society of Artists, and he was one
of the foundation members (1768) of the Royal Academy. Sir Joshua
Reynolds observes of him: “Whether he most excelled in portraits,
landscapes, or fancy pictures, it is difficult to determine,” and
Ruskin calls him “the purest colourist of the English school.” His
pictures command high prices. Works: _Market_ Cart, _Watering_ Place

GALASSI, GALASSO, born in first half of 15th century, dead in 1473.
Lombard school; son of a tailor and master-painter of Ferrara. Name
appears in 1450–53 in account books of house of Este, where he is
called Maestro Galasso de Matheo Calegaro, in connection with the
decoration of the palace of Belriguardo. In 1455 he composed the
Assumption and finished a portrait of Cardinal Bessarion in Santa
Maria in Monte, Bologna. Vasari says he went to Venice and acquired
there the use of oils, but it is doubtful if he ever used them. Much
more has been made of him than he deserves. His pictures show bad
drawing, affected or spasmodic action, and skinny flesh. Examples:
Trinity, Ferrara Museum; Entombment, and Virgin with Saint and Donor,
Costabili Collection, Ferrara.--C. & C., N. Italy, i. 514; Vasari,
