Giovanni Antonio Burrini
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Giovanni Antonio Burrini (1656—1727) was a Bolognese painter of Late-Baroque or Rococo style. After an apprenticeship with Domenico Maria Canuti, he went to work under Lorenzo Pasinelli with fellow student, Giovanni Gioseffo dal Sole. He became an early friend and often close collaborator with Giuseppe Maria Crespi, with whom he shared a studio. He became a rival and competitor with Sebastiano Ricci. In 1709, he was one of the founding members of the Accademia Clementina in Bologna.
