Life so quick and unintentional. The dragon has been slain, and the victor relinquished from its wrath. What will now come of the murder? Will her conscious, as well as that of her helper, be able to keep such a secret?  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe painter in the classic and obvious Baroque style, captures the subject within its light in such a way as nothing else matters.

If we [the viewer] speak too loudly, she may be discovered and sentenced accordingly.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe gaze of Judith, the haste of her accomplice, the strong light and darkness all bringing this great painting to its historical significance and beauty.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eFrancesco Cairo (1607 – 1665), also known as Francesco del Cairo, was an Italian Baroque painter active in Lombardy and Piedmont.  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eHe was born and died in Milan. It is not known where he obtained his early training though he is strongly influenced by the circle of il Morazzone, in works such as the Saint Teresa altarpiece in the Certosa di Pavia.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 1633, Cairo moved to Turin to work as a court painter, including portraits, to Vittorio Amedeo I of the House of Savoy. Between 1637 and 1638, Cairo travelled to Rome, where he encounters the works of Pietro da Cortona, Guido Reni and of the Caravaggisti. He returns to Lombardy to complete altarpieces for the Certosa of Pavia and a church at Casalpusterlengo. He painted a St. Theresa for San Carlo in Venice. Between 1646 and 1649, he returns to Turin, and paints an altarpiece for Savigliano and the church of San Salvario. He is also known as Il Cavalière del Cairo, because in Turin, he received the Order of Saints Maurice and Lazarus in recognition of his merit.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMany of his works are eccentric depictions of religious ecstasies; the saints appear liquefied and contorted by piety. He often caps them with exuberant, oriental turbans. He is sometimes compared with his Milanese contemporary, Carlo Francesco Nuvolone, also called il Panfilo.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eAvailable as a fine art print a\u003c\/span\u003end as a stretched canvas panel (heavy fine art canvas stretched over 1.5 inch deep edge solid wood frame).\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"highest quality canvas panels\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1016\/3209\/files\/button_0_medium.png?v=1470176597\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"deep edge canvas prints\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1016\/3209\/files\/canvas_sizes_mixed_large.jpg?v=1470176597\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll prints are made using archival art stocks and UV pigment inks to give up to 200 years life.
