Italian painter
Giovanni Maria Galli
(1625?1665), called
Giovanni Maria da Bibiena
, was an Italian painter, born at
Bibiena
in 1625. He studied under
Albani
, and his productions have often been mistaken for those of his master. He died in 1665. Of his larger works in the churches at Bologna the following are the most esteemed:
The Ascension,
in the
Certosa
;
St. Anne,
in
Santa Maria della Carita
;
St. Andrew,
in San Biagio; and
St. Francis of Sales,
at the
Padri Servi
. This artist was the
founder of a family
of whom no fewer than nine are known to fame, all of whom bore the surname of Bibiena.
