Tanzio da Varallo [Enrico, Antonio d’; il Tanzio]
(b Riale d’Alagna, 1575–80; d 1632–3). Italian painter. He is best known for his dramatic oil paintings executed in a unique style of Caravaggesque realism modified by the elegance of Lombard Late Mannerism. He also adopted elements of a robust and unsophisticated realism from Piedmontese art, as is evident in his frescoes for the sacromonte at Varallo (see VARALLO, SACRO MONTE, §2). His drawings are in the highly refined and meticulously finished technique associated with Renaissance draughtsmanship.
