Francesco del Cairo

Francesco Cairo, also known as Francesco del Cairo, was an Italian Baroque painter active in Lombardy and Piedmont. It is not known where he obtained his early training though he is strongly influenced by the circle of il Morazzone, in works such as the Saint Teresa altarpiece in the Certosa di Pavia. Many of his works are eccentric depictions of religious ecstasies; the saints appear liquefied and contorted by piety. He often caps them with exuberant, oriental turbans.
