Francesco Furini
Francesco Furini ( 10 apr. 1603 – 19 August 1646) was an Italian Baroque painter, poet and priest.  He was a leading painter in Florence in the second quarter of the 17th century and also worked in Rome.  He was noted for both secular and religious subjects in which he used a sensual sfumato style, particularly in the many female nudes.

Sfumato
Sfumato (English: /sfuːˈmɑːtoʊ/ sfoo-MAH-toh, Italian: [sfuˈmaːto]; lit. 'smoked off', i.e. 'blurred') is a painting technique for softening the transition between colours, mimicking an area beyond what the human eye is focusing on, or the out-of-focus plane. It is one of the canonical painting modes of the Renaissance. Leonardo da Vinci was the most prominent practitioner of sfumato, based on his research in optics and human vision, and his experimentation with the camera obscura. He introduced it and implemented it in many of his works, including the Virgin of the Rocks and in his famous painting of the Mona Lisa. He described sfumato as "without lines or borders, in the manner of smoke".

According to the theory of the art historian Marcia B. Hall, which has gained considerable acceptance, sfumato is one of four modes of painting colours available to Italian High Renaissance painters, along with cangiante, chiaroscuro, and unione.

After the resolution of several chronological questions, he was designated again as Eliya VI, and that numeration is accepted in recent scholarly works.
