Cesare da Sesto
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cesare da Sesto (1477 - 1523) was an Italian painter of the Renaissance active in Milan and elsewhere in Italy.
He is considered one of the ‘’Leonardeschi’’ or artists influenced by Leonardo da Vinci, such as Bernardino Luini and Marco D'Oggione. He may have trained or worked with Baldassare Peruzzi in Rome in 1505. In 1514, he departed to Naples and Messina for six years. A crowded Adoration of the Kings can be found in the Capodimonte Museum. He returned to Milan in 1520, where he painted a Madonna in Glory with Saints for the church of San Rocco (now in Castello Sforzesco).
