Francesco Curradi was born in Florence in 1570 and died there in 1661. The son of the sculptor Taddeo Curradi, he reportedly trained with Giovanni Battista Naldini, according to Baldinucci. Registered with the academy of drawing in 1590, he produced numerous religious paintings for Tuscany and contributed to the decoration of Casa Buonarroti in 1616–1617.
His Narcissus at the Fountain, signed and dated 1622, formed part of a commission from Cardinal Carlo de’ Medici for the Casino di San Marco. This oil on canvas represents the mythological side of his work. In Toulouse, The Triumph of Judith, painted around 1630, was long attributed to Matteo Rosselli. The Musée des Augustins cautiously associates it with Rosselli’s Triumph of David as a possible symbolic companion.
