Francesco del Cairo
1607 – 1665
Italian painter. He is known for his highly personal, if somewhat neurotic, portrayals of swooning female saints and heroines. He was born, in Varese, around 1598; recent scholarship has confirmed that he was baptized in the church of Santo Stefano in Broglio in 1607.
