Maurelio Scanavini
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Maurelio Scanavini (May 7, 1665 - June 1, 1698) was an Italian painter of the Baroque period, mainly active in Ferrara.
He trained with Francesco Ferrari in Ferrara, then spent some time in Bologna, where he worked under Carlo Cignani, at a time when Giacomo Parolini was also a pupil. He was a friend of the painter Baruffaldi. He is called the Leccardino and Laderchi recounts a small scandal when Scanavini painted a dog licking himself in a canvas, afterwards obscured, for the Oratory of San Crispino.
