Francesco Monti (il Brescianino)
Francesco Monti (il Brescianino) (1646–1703) was an Italian painter of the late-Baroque period, mainly active in his natal city of Brescia, as well as Parma. He was a pupil of Pietro Ricchi (also known as ''il Lucchese''), then of Jacques Courtois (also known as ''il Borgognone''), who was well known as a battle painter. This association led Monti himself to be called ''Francesco della Battaglia''. For many years before 1700, he worked for the ruling family of Parma. He painted the ''Blessed Virgin in Adoration of Christ in the Manger'' for the church of Santa Maria Calcherà in Parma. There are at least three Italian painters that gained the nickname Brescianino (other), Brescianino. References

Baroque
The Baroque (, ; ) is a style of architecture, music, dance, painting, sculpture, poetry, and other arts that flourished in Europe from the early 17th century until the 1750s. In the territories of the Spanish and Portuguese empires including the Iberian Peninsula it continued, together with new styles, until the first decade of the 19th century. It followed Renaissance art and Mannerism and preceded the Rococo (in the past often referred to as "late Baroque") and Neoclassical styles. It was encouraged by the Catholic Church as a means to counter the simplicity and austerity of Protestant architecture, art, and music, though Lutheran Baroque art developed in parts of Europe as well. The Baroque style used contrast, movement, exuberant detail, deep colour, grandeur, and surprise to achieve a sense of awe. The style began at the start of the 17th century in Rome, then spread rapidly to France, northern Italy, Spain, and Portugal, then to Austria, southern Germany, and Russia. B ...
