Carlo Francesco Nuvolone (1608 or 1609 in Milan – 1661 or 1662 in Milan)[1] was an Italian painter of religious subjects and portraits who was active mainly in Lombardy. He became the leading painter in Lombardy in the mid-17th century, producing works on canvas as well as frescoes.[2] Because his style was perceived as close to that of Guido Reni he was nicknamed il Guido della Lombardia (the Guido of Lombardy).[3]
