Sigismondo Caula (1637-1724) was an Italian painter of the Baroque style. Caula was born in Modena where he was the pupil of Jean Boulanger but finished his studies at Venice from the works of Titian and Tintoretto. Besides his altar-pieces he painted cabinet pictures for private collections. His best production was his large picture of St. Charles Borromeo assisting the plague-stricken people of Modena which was painted with great vigor and expression for the church of San Carlo.
