The Abbate Giovanni Agostino Cassana (1658-1720) was an Italian painter of the Baroque period. He was a son of Giovanni Francesco Cassana and an elder brother of Niccoló. He was born at Genoa, and was initially instructed by his father. He painted portraits with some success, but preferred painting animals and subject pictures in the style of Antonio Maria Vasallo and Benedetto Castiglione. Paintings of still life subjects are found in the collections at Florence, Venice, and Genoa. He died at Genoa.
