From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Francesco Maria Raineri (1676-1758) was an Italian sculptor of the late-Baroque, mainly active in Mantua.
Also called Lo Schivenoglia after the town, just outside of the city of Mantua, of his birth. He was a pupil of Giuseppe Bazzani. Among his works, he was known for his paintings of battle scenes, landscapes, and cappriccios (vedute of imaginary scenes]]) with historical or mythologic figures. He was named director of the Academy of painters in Mantua in 1752. He is known to have painted a St. Sebastian for the chapel of Santa Anna. He painted a San Francesco da Paola for the Oratorio della Beata Vergine della Misericordia, (also called della Disciplina) in Bozzolo.
