Giovanni Antonio Baruffaldi

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Giovanni Antonio Baruffaldi (1793–1832) was an Italian painter. He was born in Ferrara, and there initially trained under Giuseppe Santi, but also was a painter in the city of Venice. He received a stipend from the commune of Ferrara to study in Rome. There he died young after falling from a scaffold.[1] The gallery of Ferrara possesses some of his work: Virgin reading and Tancred and Armida. It is not clear how Giovanni Antonio is related to the fellow Ferrarese Girolamo Barufaldi, who published a biography of the town's artists.
