Giovanni Gioseffo dal Sole

Giovanni Gioseffo dal Sole (10 December 1654 – 22 July 1719) was an Italian painter and engraver from Bologna, active in the late-Baroque period.

[1] His father, Giovanni Antonio Maria, also called Mochino de` Paesi due to his ambidextrous dexterity, was a landscape painter who trained with Francesco Albani.

He painted frescoes in the cupola of Santa Maria dei Poveri in Bologna,[3] and an altarpiece of the Trinity (1700) for the Chiesa del Suffragio in Imola.

He was one of the painters who contributed a canvas depicting the mythologic scene of Andromache weeping before Aeneas for the renowned Aenid Gallery of the Palazzo Buonaccorsi in Macerata; a decoration that employed many of the premier contemporary artists: with frescoes by Rambaldi, Dardani, and Solimena; and canvases by Garzi, Gambarini, Balestra, Lazzarini, and Franceschini.

[13] He also played some role as a mentor to a pupil of Pasinelli and Sirani (though unclear father or daughter Elisabetta), Teresa Muratori Scannabecchi,[14] and his Giovanni Gioseffo's granddaughter Francesca Fantoni.
