Francesco Curradi

Francesco Curradi (1570, 1661) was an Italian Baroque painter born in Florence, known for his devotional religious compositions and elegant figural style. A student of Giovanni Battista Naldini and later influenced by Federico Zuccari and Jacopo da Empoli, he spent most of his career in Florence producing altarpieces and canvases for Florentine churches and noble patrons. His work is characterized by soft modeling, graceful poses, and a refined sense of color typical of late Florentine Mannerism transitioning into the Baroque.
