Ercole Sarti

Ercole Sarti (23 December 1593 –?) was an Italian painter of the Baroque period, active in Ferrara. Also called il muto da Ficarola (the mute of Ficarolo), due to his defect (likely congenital deaf-mutism) and hometown of Ficarolo, near Rovigo. He initially trained as a pupil of Carlo Bononi.
