Odoardo Perini

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Odoardo Perini (5 April 1671 – 29 December 1757) was an Italian painter of the late-Baroque period, active in Verona.

He first apprenticed with Andrea Voltonini. He then trained in Bologna under Giovanni Maria Viani. He painted a series of canvases of classical stories for the Count Ercole Giusti. He painted some religious canvases for the Colombini in Bologna. He was described by Carlo Ridolfi as having a ‘’very strange brain’’^[1] with his paintings equally strange.
