Costanzo Cattani


Costanzo Cattani, or Francesco Costanzo Cattani, (1602-1665) was an Italian painter, active mainly in his native Ferrara.

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.

He painted in the Church of the Theatines, Ferrara, but also painted portraits
