Giovanni Maria Bottala

Giovanni Maria Bottala (1613–1644) was an Italian painter active in the Baroque period.

He was taken into the patronage of Cardinal Giulio Sacchetti, for whom he painted a Meeting of Jacob and Esau.

Bottala acquired the name of 'Rafaellino,' from his great veneration for the works of Raphael.

Other works are in the churches of Naples and Genoa.
