Francesco Brizio (1574–1623) was an Italian painter and engraver of the Bolognese School active in the early-Baroque. He was also known as Nosadella and was born in Bologna. He was initially a pupil of Bartolommeo Passarotti but then became a pupil under Agostino and Ludovico Carracci. He helped paint along with Lucio Massari and Leonello Spada stories of Torquato Tasso’s epic in the loggias of the Palazzo Bentivoglio.
