Costanzo Cattani
Costanzo Cattani, or Francesco Costanzo Cattani, (1602-1665) was an Italian painter, active mainly in his native Ferrara.
Biography
He was a pupil of the painter Scarsellino. However, because of a litigious and ill-tempered manner, his father sent him to Bologna to study with Guido Reni. Two years later, he returned to Ferrara when his father died. He was able to travel with the Marchese Giraldi through Italy.[1] He painted in the Church of the Theatines, Ferrara, but also painted portraits[2]
