Guglielmo Cortese, also known as Guillaume Courtois, was an Italian Baroque painter of French origin, born in 1628 in Saint-Hippolyte, Franche-Comté, and died in 1679 in Rome. He is renowned for his dynamic compositions and his ability to convey dramatic intensity through his use of color and light. Cortese's work is characterized by its vigorous brushwork and the emotional depth of his figures, which reflect the influence of his contemporaries and the broader Baroque movement.

Cortese moved to Italy at a young age, where he became a pupil of Pietro da Cortona, one of the leading figures of the Roman Baroque. Under Cortona's tutelage, Cortese honed his skills and developed a style that combined the grandeur and expressiveness of the Baroque with a refined sense of composition. His early works often depicted religious themes, a common subject matter for Baroque artists, and he quickly gained a reputation for his ability to capture the spiritual fervor and dramatic narratives of these stories.

Throughout his career, Cortese worked on numerous prestigious commissions, including altarpieces, frescoes, and portraits. His works can be found in various churches and palaces across Italy, particularly in Rome, where he spent much of his career. One of his notable contributions is the fresco cycle in the Church of San Carlo al Corso in Rome, which showcases his mastery of large-scale compositions and his skill in creating a sense of movement and drama.

Cortese's influence extended beyond his lifetime, as his works continued to be admired and studied by subsequent generations of artists. His ability to blend the dramatic intensity of the Baroque with a personal touch of elegance and refinement has secured his place in the history of art as a significant and influential painter of the 17th century.
