Italian Cardinal, diplomat and arts patron (1549–1627)
Portrait of Cardinal Francesco Maria del Monte by Ottavio Leoni
Francesco Maria del Monte, full name Francesco Maria Bourbon del Monte Santa Maria, (5 July 1549 – 27 August 1627) was an Italian cardinal, diplomat, and connoisseur of the arts.[1] His fame today rests on his early patronage of the important Baroque master Caravaggio, and on his art collection (the del Monte collection) which provides provenance for many important works of the period.
