Sassoferrato (Giovanni Battista Salvi da Sassoferrato) (1609-1685)

• Was an Italian Baroque painter.
• He is known for his archaizing commitment to Raphael's style.
• He is often referred to only by the town of his birthplace (Sassoferrato).
• Sassoferrato was apprenticed under his father, the painter Tarquinio Salvi.
• It is thought that he worked under the Bolognese Domenichino, a main apprentice of Annibale Carracci (c. 1580).
• Two other Carracci trainees 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.
