PAINTERS NICkNAMES.

Designations by which Famous Artists Arc
Known Among the Craft.
Perhaps no class OF men have been
SO frequently known by their nick
namcs-for In their case the dcsigna-
tions deserve no better name-as tho
disciples Of art, especially the Italian
painters. 1t may bu thut the bo-
homianism OF the craft, its uncon-
vcntionality and freedom from corc-
mony, lends itself especially to this
practice. Certain II is that many OF
those who know something OF tho
names ut any rate by which celebrated
artists are usually known, would find
their powers OF recognition taxed TO tho
utmost were they to sec II catalogue OF
some famous gallery, the Louvre,
for example. whoro the paint
ers are all designated by their
real names, and whore, instead
OF the familiar Raphael and Titan, they
must look for Santi and Vcccli, and in
place of Pcrugino and Corrcggio, they
find Vanucci and Nlegri. These may
servo rs specimens of two easily multi
piled classes of designations; the one.
to which we might add Michael Angelo
and many another of lesser rcputc,
showing the exclusive uso OF tho
Christian namo long after surnamcs
had become customary; the other, In
cluding names no less famous than Da
Vinci and Vcroncsc, besides minor
host, instances Of local appollations.
Claude Lorraine, the great landscape
painter, may be taken Us an example
of one OF the many artists who COM
binc these two somewhat commonplace
sources OF unconventional nomenclat-
ure. Others inherit their names in n
manner somewhat different from what
is usual. Thus three names high In
profession of tho fathers Of their
most celebrated bearers. Tho
brothers Pollaiuolo, workers In metals
rs well as painters, were, IL Is general
ly asserted, SO called from their fathers
profession OF "poultcror," which tho
word signifies. In view OF this cir
cumstance, perhaps, we may imagine
that familiarity with tho victims dis
played in the patcrnM shop had some
thing to do with the excellence OF tho
quail modelled by Antonio on the bronze
gate of the Florcntinc Baptistery, Of
which Vasar says lit wants nothing OF
life but TO lly." Another family trade,
which would seem to promise little in
regard TO art, gave to Andrea Vanuc-
chi, whose perfect execution gained for
him In his own day the title Of "tho
faultlcss," the appcllation of del Sarto
(of the tailor). Tintorctto, again, is
the diminutivc applied in childhood to
the son OF Robusti, Venetian dyer
(tintorc). .-C Chambers Journal.

accounts for It's remarkable absorbent

IL comes the streets are paved with IL,
and IL is used for building purposes.
