Cesare Corte
Cesare Corte (1554–1613) was an Italian painter of the Renaissance period, active mainly in his natal city of Genoa. He was the pupil of his father, the Venetian painter and later alchemist Valerio Corte. He trained under Luca Cambiaso. According to Baldinucci, he was often in demand as a portrait painter. As a young man, he traveled to London and Paris. It is said that Queen Elizabeth of England requested a portrait from him, although he is not mentioned in Lord Orfurd's ''Anecdotes''. In Genoa, he painted ''Saints Simon and Francis'' for Santa Maria del Carmine. He painted ''San Pietro di Banchi adoring the Virgin'' (1600) for the church of the same name.

His works can be found in both private and public collections in Europe and the USA. Some recurring themes constitute the artist’s poetic core. One element is the so-called "impossibility of the ''Tragic''" within the system of contemporary art.
