Carlo Cane

Carlo Cane (1618-1688) was an Italian painter of the Baroque period. He was born at Gallarate, a small town near Milan. He was instructed by Melchiore Gilardini. He copied the works of Morazzone with success, and became a historical painter, particularly in fresco. He painted in fresco a "St. Ambrose" and "St. Hugo" in the Certosa at Padua. He also painted landscapes and animals. He died at Milan. There is a second Carlo Cane of Trino, in his "History of Trino" as having painted in 1600 two altar-pieces for the Benedictine abbey of Locedia.
