CALVART, See also:DENIS (1540-1619) , Flemish painter, was See also:born at See also:Antwerp. After studying landscape-See also:painting for some See also:time in his native See also:city he went to See also:Bologna, where he perfected himself in the See also:anatomy of the human See also:form under Prospero See also:Fontana, and so completely lost the mannerism of Flemish See also:art that his paintings appear to be the See also:work of an See also:Italian. From Bologna he went to See also:Rome, where he assisted Lorenzo Sabbatini (1533–1577) in his See also:works for the papal See also:palace, and devoted much of his time to copying and studying the works of See also:Raphael. He ultimately returned to Bologna and founded a school, of which the greatest ornaments are Guido and See also:Domenichino. His works are especially admired for the See also:power of grouping and colouring which they display.
