MaZzola, or Marzuoli Francisco Called "Il'
Parmegian'D was one of the most distin-
guished painters of the Lombard school. He
was born at Parma in 1903 and was the son of
Filippo MaZzola, painter surnamed Dali
'Erbette. In his sixteenth year he executed
baptism of Christ which displayed his re-
markable talents Correggio's presence in
Parma, in 1921, gave him an opportunity to
become acquainted with the style Of that mas
ter. In 1922 Mazzola painted among other
works, Madonna with the Holy Children, a
st. Jerome, and st. Bernardin of Feltry, a
celebrated oil painting which is preserved in
the monastery Della Nunziatd but which has
suffered from time and unskilful hands. In
Rome, in 1923, the works of Raphael made a
deep impression on him which is perceptible
in his subsequent paintings in which he aimed
a. union OF Correggio's grace and RaphaePs
expression. On the capture of Rome in 1927
he suffered great losses and went to Bologna.
Among his most celebrated paintings executed
there are his st. Roch, the Madonna della
Rosa, now at Dresden, and St. Margaret. He
returned to Parma and there executed Cupid
making a Bow, and painted several works for
tie church Della Staccata. In poor health,
n debt and imprs oned, he fled to Casal Mag
giore where he died in 1910 His fire, grace,
correct drawing, bodness of toach, and ease
of composition are considered undeniable.
This picture came into the possession of a
lady of this city having been picked up abroad
in some way, by her son. 1t was many years
before its value was ascertained. 1t is now
her sole remaining piece of property and will
