so good a man, so religious, and so exemplary, that
there was never heard to issue from his mouth any word that was
otherwise than seemly.

A disciple of Francesco, and much more able than his master, was the
Veronese Paolo Cavazzuola, who executed many works in Verona; I say in
Verona, because it is not known that he ever worked in any other place.
In S. Nazzaro, a seat of Black Friars at Verona, he painted many works
in fresco near those of his master Francesco; but these were all thrown
to the ground when that church was rebuilt by the pious munificence of
the reverend Father, Don Mauro Lonichi, a nobleman of Verona and Abbot
of that Monastery. On the old house of the Fumanelli, in the Via del
Paradiso, Paolo painted, likewise in fresco, the Sibyl showing to
Augustus Our Lord in the heavens, in the arms of His Mother; which work
is beautiful enough for one of the first that he executed. On the outer
side of the Chapel of the Fontani, in S. Maria in Organo, he painted,
also in fresco, two Angels--namely, S. Michael and S. Raphael. In the
street into which there opens the Chapel of the Angel Raphael, in S.
Eufemia, over a window that gives light to a recess in the staircase of
that chapel, he painted the Angel Raphael, and with him Tobias, whom he
guided on his journey; which was a very beautiful little work. And in S.
Bernardino, in a round picture over the door where there is the bell, he
painted a S. Bernardino in fresco, and in another round picture on the
same wall, but lower down, and above the entrance to a confessional, a
S. Francis, which is beautiful and well executed, as is also the S.
Bernardino. These are all the works that Paolo is known to have painted
in fresco.

As for his works in oils, he painted a picture of S. Rocco for the altar
of the Santificazione in the Church of the Madonna della Scala, in
emulation of the S. Sebastian which Il Moro painted for the other side
of the same place; which S. Rocco is a very beautiful figure. But the
best figures that this painter ever executed are in S. Bernardino, where
all the large pictures that are on the altar of the Cross, round the
principal altar-piece, are by his hand, excepting that with the Christ
Crucified, the Madonna, and S. John, which is above all the others, and
is by the hand of his master Francesco. Beside it, in the upper part,
