Where'd you come across this?
The quote at the bottom sounds like:
"From my art lives nature and it lives from art.
Mind, glory, and name. The rest are dead."
I think 'Arte' is ablative, but I can't parse it in a way that makes sense.
from Raphael's Sacred city
a reputatuion for talent with art although near the grave
like death and glory
ill-matched fortune
in the same way it took the virtuous Raphael
Hannibal unfairly
died (the numbers are confusing me, but I think it mentions two dates)
Charles Marruttus best of the painters
name and eager (I have no idea what is going on there and it mentions another date.)
Deebaser said,
"From my art lives nature and it lives from art.
Mind, glory, and name. The rest are dead."
My Latin is terrible as well and translation is as much an art as a science so it could be something like this or notthing like it. Like deebaser said it looks like a death notice, but not from ancient Rome this looks like more of a renaiisance era inscription to me.

Carolus Marattus is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlo_Maratta
The inscription is an epitaph to Caracci but copying the style of Raphael's epitaph (I guess because Caracci was seen as carrying on Raphael's artistic legacy). Looking around, this piece has been reproduced a fair number of times, but perhaps your friend has found a book from the late 1600 - early 1700s. Then again, it could be a later reprint depending on the book.
