Giampietro Zanotti

Giampietro Zanotti (1674–1765) was an Italian painter and art historian of the late-Baroque or Rococo period.

In the first decade of the 18th century, he became one of the founding members of the artists' academy in Bologna [1], known as the Accademia Clementina.

Among his writings was a guide to young painters: Avvertimenti per l'incamminamento di un giovane alla pittura.

He also wrote a biography about the painter and friend Giovanni Gioseffo Dal Sole[2].

Giampietro's brother, Francesco Maria Zanotti, was a philosopher in Bologna.
