Giovanni Enrico Vaymer

Giovanni Enrico Vaymer (March 17, 1665 – November 1738) was an Italian painter of the Baroque period.

His father, the painter Enrico Vaymer, was originally from Kiel in Holstein.

[1] In Genoa, he initially became a pupil of a mediocre painter called Schiena, but through connections with a local cardinal he was recommended to work with the Genoese Giovanni Battista Gaulli in Rome.

There he met his lifelong friend, the painter Giovanni Marie delle Piane, known as il Mulinaretto.

He also painted some altarpieces in Genoa, including at the church of San Filippo Neri.
