Giovanni Antonio Baruffaldi
Giovanni Antonio Baruffaldi (1793–1832) was an Italian painter. He was born in Ferrara, and there initially trained under Giuseppe Santi, but also was a painter in the city of Venice. He received a stipend from the commune of Ferrara to study in Rome. There he died young after falling from a scaffold.[1] The gallery of Ferrara possesses some of his work: Virgin reading and Tancred and Armida. It is not clear how Giovanni Antonio is related to the fellow Ferrarese Girolamo Barufaldi, who published a biography of the town's artists.
