Girolamo Figino

Girolamo Figino was an Italian painter active during the late 16th and early 17th centuries, with his life dates recorded as 1553 to 1608. He was associated with the Mannerist movement, which was characterized by its artificiality and emphasis on style and technique over the naturalism that dominated the High Renaissance. Figino was known for his religious compositions and portraits, contributing to the artistic landscape of Milan during his lifetime. His work reflects the transition from the Renaissance ideals to the more expressive and elongated forms typical of Mannerism. Although not as widely recognized as some of his contemporaries, Figino's paintings are valued for their technical skill and the subtle emotional depth they convey. His contributions to the Milanese art scene helped pave the way for the Baroque period that followed.
