Francesco Bartolozzi, an Italian engraver, born in Florence in 1725 or 1730, died in Lisbon about 1815. He was the son of a goldsmith, perfected himself in his art in Venice, Florence, and Milan, and in 1764 accompanied Richard Dalton, librarian of George III., to England, where he was employed in the royal academy, and acquired great celebrity, especially by his "Deatli of Chatham" after Copley, and by his "Virgin and Child" after Sassofer-rato. In 1805 he was called to Lisbon by the prince regent of Portugal, who pensioned him and made him president of the academy of fine arts. He excelled in every species of engraving, and left a prodigious number of plates and etchings; that of Clythia after Annibule Carracci is one of his master-works, and other designs after the Carracci, the "Death of Dido" after Cipriani, and the "Massacre of the Innocents" after Guido, are among his more renowned productions. With Bracci he wrote Memorie degli antichi incisorl (2 vols., Florence, 1784-'8).
