Giulio Cirello

Giulio Cirello (1633 in Padua – 1709) was an Italian painter.[1]

He trained under Luca Ferrari in Padua. He mainly painted sacred subjects in a late-Baroque style,[2] though he was also valued as portraitist during his time.[3] He painted an altarpiece for the church of San Giuseppe in Padua.[4] He painted the walls of the Palazzo Vescovile or the Bishop's palace, adjacent to the Padua Cathedral; and two pieces for the church of La Rotonda in Rovigo.[5][6] Along with the fellow Luca da Reggio pupil, Francesco Minorello, he painted two canvases, depicting St Agnes beaten by the Roman Prefect and St Martha as a Nun holding the cross sprays holy water on a Dragon, for the church of Sant'Agnese in Padua.[7]
