A huge impact on his work - as well as on Bernardino Luini and Marco d'Ogiono - had Leonardo, which is clearly visible in the Madonna and Child . Later, in Southern Italy, he created a complex and artsy style in which classicism and the most characteristic elements of early Mannerism were combined.
Like Leonardo, Cesare did not have a last name in the modern sense; “Yes Sesto” is a nickname for the town of Sesto Calende in the current province of Varese , from which he was a native.
It is possible that he was a student or apprentice with Baldassare Peruzzi in Rome in 1505. His authorship includes tympans in the Cathedral of St. Onufrio ( Sant'Onofrio ) and some paintings in the vicinity of Rome.
The name Cesare da Sesto first appears in 1508 , when he made murals in the Vatican Palace (not preserved) by order of Pope Julius II . In 1513 he worked in Sicily, in 1515 in Naples . In 1515, he completed the monumental polyptych for the Monastery of the Holy Trinity in Cava de Tirreni .
In 1516 he returned to Milan , where he created the famous painting " Salome " ( Italian Salomè ), acquired by Emperor Rudolph II (now it is in the Museum of Art History in Vienna ).
In 1517, in Messina, Cesare created one of his most famous works - “Adoration of the Magi”, after which he returned to Milan in 1520, where he created another of his masterpieces - the so-called “polyptych of St. Roch” (for the Cathedral of St. Roch, now in Castello Sforzesco ).
