Bartolomeo Schedoni
Bartolomeo Schedoni (sometimes Schedone) was an Italian early Baroque painter from Modena.
Schedoni's paintings often depict brilliantly lit figures set against a dark background. Great emphasis is given to the angular patterns of brightly colored drapery, which, according to the art historian Lawrence Gowing, "almost obscure the narrative content of the scene and instead disseminate a pervading sense of emotional emergency."
