Giovanni del Giglio

Giovanni del Giglio (late fifteenth century – 1557) was a painter from Sardinia He was born and died in Sassari.

The first mention of Giovanni del Giglio might be from 1512, when the monk "Johannes de Liliis" arrived in Sassari to restore the hospital of Santa Croce.

This marriage allowed him to convince Girolamo Olives' confidant, the bishop of Alghero, Pedro Vaguer, to give him the commission for the altarpieces of Benetutti and Bortigali between 1549 and 1551.

Other painters of his school were Antonio Campus, Giovanni Debasteriga, and Leonardo de Serra.

Del Giglio's style, which had a large influence on painting in Sardinia until the arrival of Baccio Gorini, shows the influence of Raphael and Michelangelo as well as the early Tuscan style of Rosso Fiorentino and Pontormo.
