Antonio d'Enrico, called Tanzio da Varallo, or simply il Tanzio[1] (c. 1575/1580 – c. 1632/1633) was an Italian painter of the late-Mannerist or early Baroque period.
He was born in Riale d’Alagna, and was active mainly in Lombardy and
Piedmont, including the Sacro Monte at Varallo Sesia, where he worked
contemporaneously with Pier Francesco Mazzucchelli (il Morazzone). He
painted a Circumcision for Fara San Martino, and a Virgin with saints
for the Collegiate at Pescocostanzo. Some of his paintings acquire the
influence of Tenebrist styles and morbid thematic characteristic of the
followers of Caravaggio and also of many Lombard painters, including
his somewhat gruesome David with Goliath (1620). His animated and
crowded Battle of Sennacherib (1627–28) for the Basilica of San
Gaudenzio reflects the influence of his work in the Sacri Monti of
Piedmont and Lombardy, painting scenographic diorama scenes.
