Giovanni Maria Viani

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Giovanni Maria Viani (1636–1700) was an Italian painter of the Baroque period, active in Bologna.

Along with Lorenzo Pasinelli, he trained under Flaminio Torre. Among Giovanni's pupils was his son, Domenico (1668–1711), Giovanni Girolamo Bonesi, and Odoardo Perini. He directed a school at Bologna rivaling that of Carlo Cignani. He painted many pictures for the public buildings of Bologna, among them an Annunciation in San Giuseppe ; and at the Basilica of the Servi, he painted a St Filippo Benizi carried up to Heaven and the Coronation of the Virgin. Among his etchings are:

Christ crowned with Thorns & St Francis with Infant Jesus in his arms after Annibale Carracci
Dido and War after Ludovico Carracci.
