From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Giovanni Battista della Marca (1532-1587) was an Italian painter of the Renaissance period.
He was also called also Lombardelli and il Montano, and was born in Montenuovo. He was first a pupil of Marco da Faenza, and, according to Baglione, visited Rome during the papacy of Gregory XIII, painting in the style influenced by Raffaellino da Reggio, whom he assisted in some fresco paintings in the Vatican. In the church of San Pietro Montorio he painted a series of pictures of the Life of St. Francis and in Santa Maria de'Monti, a Resurrection. There are several works of his in the churches at Montenuovo.
