Antonio Maria Vassallo

Antonio Maria Vassallo (c. 1620-1664/1673) was an Italian painter of the Baroque period, active mainly in Genoa, and painting mythologic scenes and still lifes.

[1] His biography is poorly documented, and mainly depends on the Genoese biographer Raffaele Soprani (1674) as a source.

He initially apprenticed with Vincenzo Malò (c. 1605-c. 1650), a Flemish artist who had studied with Teniers the Elder and Rubens.

Vassallo appears to have been influenced by his fellow Genoese Sinibaldo Scorza and Giovanni Benedetto Castiglione.

[2] Vassallo also painted a Martyrdom of Saint Marcello Mastrilli' (1664) for the Convento di Carignano.
