Guido Cagnacci (1601–1663) was an Italian painter of the Baroque period, whose works are characterized by the use of chiaroscuro and by the sensuality displayed by most of the subjects. He shared the anxieties of the Seventeenth Century Baroque without renouncing to the dialectic between soul and body, between spirituality and physicality. Famous for the bold sensuality of his female nudes, icons of a pictorial universe imbued with an eloquent eroticism, yet also by an unshakable and lucid sense of real that evokes sentiments, passions, tragedies and violence, the artist was also unbeatable in depicting scene of great religious stories.
