SCHIDONE (Schedone), BARTOLOMMEO,
born in
Modena about
1570 (?), died
there, Dec. 27,
1615. Lombard
school;
said to have
been a pupil of
the Carracci,
but his style
shows careful
study of Correggio, whose works he imitated,
but without servility. Patronized by
Duke Ranuccio of Modena, for whom he
painted some admirable pictures. His frescos
of the History of Coriolanus, in the Palazzo
Pubblico, have been called worthy of
Correggio. He was an excellent portrait
painter, but his favourite subjects were Madonnas
and Holy Families. He left but few
pictures, as he wasted his time in gambling,
and his death is said to have been caused
by grief at a heavy loss of money. His best
works are: Repose of Love, Portrait, Christ
crowned with Thorns, SS. Jerome, Paul, and
Sebastian, Naples Museum; Painter's Portrait,
Holy Family, Uffizi, Florence; Madonna,
Pallavicini Gallery, Genoa; Last
Supper, Parma Gallery; Madonna del Campanello,
Palazzo Pitti, Florence; Children,
Heads, Turin Gallery; Flight into Egypt,
Dresden Gallery; Massacre of the Innocents,
