Giovanni Andrea Lazzarini

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Giovanni Andrea Lazzarini (1710-1801) was an Italian painter, poet, and art historian of the late-Baroque or Rococo.

He was born at Pesaro. He was instructed in painting by Francesco Mancino, and studied at Rome under Fantuzzi from 1734-1749, and worked subsequently at Venice and Forlì in a style recalling Carlo Cignani. He distinguished himself as a fresco-painter. He was, however, a better teacher than artist. His works were painted for Gualdo, near Rimini, at Osimo, Foligno, Ancona, and Pesaro, where he died.
