Baldassare d'Anna

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Baldassare d'Anna (c. 1560-1600s) was an Italian painter of the late-Renaissance period. Born in Venice to a Flemish family, and trained with Lionardo Corona. The date of his death is uncertain, but he seems to have been alive in 1639. For a number of years he studied under Corona, and on the death of that painter completed several works left unfinished by him. His own activity seems to have been confined to the production of pieces for several of the churches and a few private houses in Venice, and the old guide-books and descriptions of the city notice a considerable number of paintings by him. Scarcely any have survived.
