Janssen's life was made miserable
by an extravaganza wife, and his last
years were passed in extreme want.
Zamfieri was the son of a shoemaker
and himself followed that calling. He
was the ugliest man of his time and
badly defOrmed.
Masaccio was originally named Maso,
the addition to the name being by way
of reproach for his negligence and
slovenliness in dress.
Raphael's pictures are often so thinly
painted that the pen strokes on the can
vas made for the guidance of the paint
er are visible through the layers of
color
Alunno made himself famous by
painting a resurrection in which the
two angels who kept watch over the
grave were armed with old fashioned
blunderbusses.
Van der Weyden's devotion TO nature
produced some curious results in his
paintings. When he wished to represent
a beggar, for instance, he employed the
ugliest beggar he could find to sit as
a model
Parmigiano was at work on the 'sVi-
