Giovanni Battista Salvi da Sassoferrato - Wikipedia
by: morpheus
Giovanni
Battista
Salvi
da
Sassoferrato
(August
25,
1609
–
August
8,
1685),
also
known
as
Giovanni
Battista
Salvi,
was
an
Italian
Baroque
painter,
known
for
his
archaizing
commitment
to
Raphael's
style.[1]
He
is
often
referred
to
only
by
the
town
of
his
birthplace
(Sassoferrato),
as
was
customary
in
his
time,
and
for
example
seen
with
da
Vinci
and
Caravaggio.
The
details
of
Giovanni
Battista
Salvi's
biography
are
very
sparse.
He
was
born
in
the
small
town
of
Sassoferrato
in
the
Marche
region
of
central
Italy,
half-way
between
Rome
and
Florence,
east
of
Apennines.
Sassoferrato was apprenticed under his father, the painter Tarquinio Salvi; fragments of Tarquinio's work are still visible in the church of Saint Francis in Sassoferrato. The rest of Giovanni's training is undocumented but it is thought that he worked under the Bolognese Domenichino, a main apprentice of Annibale Carracci (c. 1580). Two other Carracci trainees Francesco Albani and Guido Reni also influenced Sassoferrato. In Francis Russell's view, Reni was as much Sassoferrato's mentor as Domenichino was his master.[2] His paintings also show the influence of Albrecht Dürer, Guercino, and above all Raphael. He appears to also have been influenced by Pierre Mignard, whom he may have met in Rome in the 1630s. -from, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giovanni_Battista_Salvi_da_Sassoferrato
