Life

Schedoni was born in Modena and worked mostly in Parma for the Farnese family . His early works are among the finest examples of Italian mannerism and betray Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio's influence. He later adapted to Caravaggio's style and used lighting effects with great charm. His untimely death is said to have been the result of his uncontrolled passion for gaming.
