Biography

Giovanni Battista Salvi da Sassoferrato (25 August 1609 – 8 August 1685), also known as Giovanni Battista Salvi, was an Italian Baroque painter, known for his archaizing commitment to Raphael's style. He is often referred to only by the name of his birthplace, Sassoferrato.

The details of Giovanni Battista Salvi's life are very limited. He was born in the small town of Sassoferrato in the Marche region of central Italy, halfway between Rome and Florence, east of the Apennines. Sassoferrato was apprenticed under his father, the painter Tarquinio Salvi; fragments of Tarquinio's work are still visible in the church of San Francesco in Sassoferrato. The rest of Giovanni's training is undocumented, but it is thought that he worked under the Bolognese painter Domenichino, a main apprentice of Annibale Carracci (c. 1580).

Two other pupils of Carracci, Francesco Albani and Guido Reni, also influenced Sassoferrato. In Francis Russell's view, Reni was as much Sassoferrato's mentor as Domenichino was his master. His paintings also show the influence of Albrecht Dürer, Guercino, and above all Raphael.
