CAMPAGNOLA, Domenico, Italian painter and engraver: flourished about 1520. He was probably born at Padua, where he was a rival of Titian in painting the frescoes in the Scuola del Carmine and in the Scuola del Santo. He is considered one of the best painters of the Venetian school, and his work as an engraver is less important. Of 14 engravings which are known to belong to him, 10 are dated 1517, and one, 'The Descent of the Holy Ghost,' bears the date 1518.
CAMPAN, Jeanne Louise Hen riette, French authoress (GENEsT) : b. Paris, 6 Oct. 1752; d. Mantes, 16 March 1822. She be came reader to the daughters of Louis XV; gained the favor of the wife of the Dauphin, afterward Queen Marie Antionette, who gave her in marriage to the son of her private secre tary, M. Campan, and appointed her the first lady of the bed-chamber. Madame Campan gave her patroness many proofs of fidelity and attachment and wished to follow her into the temple after 10 Aug. 1792, which, how
ever, Potion did not allow. After the fall of Robespierre, Madame Campan established a boarding school for the education of young ladies at Saint Germain, which soon acquired a wide reputation. On this account Napoleon appointed her the principal of an institution founded by him for the daughters of the officers of the Legion of Honor, at Ecouen, which she organized and superintended for seven years. After the restoration Louis XVIII abolished the institution, and Madame Campan lost het situation. Her only son died in 1821, in con sequence of ill treatment inflicted because he was a relation of Marshal Ney. She published 'Memoires sur la vie privie de Marie An toinette' (1823) ; 'Journal anecdotique' (1824) ; (Correspondance inedite avec la refine Hortense' (1835) ; Consult Flamermont, Jules, 'Les memoires de Madame de Campan' (Paris 1886).
