CAMUCCINI, VINCENZO Italian historical painter, was born at Rome. He was educated by his brother Pietro, a picture-restorer, and Borubelli, an engraver. Camuccini belonged to the school of the French artist David. His works are rather the fruits of great cleverness and patient care than of fresh and origi nal genius. He was appointed director of the Academy of San Luca and of the Neapolitan Academy at Rome, and conservator of the pictures of the Vatican. His chief works are the classical paintings of the "Assassination of Caesar," the "Death of Virginia," the "Devotion c f the Roman Women," "Young Romulus and Remus," "Horatius Cocles," the "St. Thomas," which was copied in mosaic for St. Peter's, the "Presentation of Christ in the Temple," and a number of excellent portraits.
