Francesco Vanni

Francesco Vanni (1563 – 26 October 1610) was an Italian painter, draughtsman, printmaker, publisher and printer active in Rome and his native city of Siena.

He apprenticed with Giovanni de' Vecchi during 1579–80, also being influenced, like other Tuscan painters of his day, by Federico Barocci from Urbino.

Pope Clement VIII would honor Vanni with membership in the order of Knights of Christ.

He painted several other major altarpieces in Rome including aSt Michael defeats rebel angels for the sacristy of San Gregorio; a Pietà for Santa Maria in Vallicella; and the Assumption for San Lorenzo in Miranda.

He painted an Immaculate Conception (1588) for the Montalcino Cathedral and an Annunciation (1589) for the church of Santa Maria dei Servi in Siena.
