An Italian Renaissance painting technique or style, possibly referring to a type of decorative or portrait painting.
From Italian, possibly derived from 'capo' (head) and 'occhio' (eye), suggesting head or portrait work, though usage and etymology are unclear.
This is such a specialized Italian art history term that it barely exists outside academic texts on Renaissance painting—it's like saying 'style of painting technique' that almost no one remembers.
