Giovanni Francesco Venturini

1650 - 1710

Giovanni Francesco Venturini was an Italian printmaker of the Baroque period.

He was born in Rome. From the style of his engraving, it is probable that he was a pupil of Giovanni Battista Galestruzzi. He etched several plates from the works of Italian masters, among them the following :

A set of Plates; after Polidoro da Caravaggio.

Diana and her Nymphs; after Domenichino.

The Pulpit of S. Peter's; after Bernini.

A partial bird's-eye View of Rome.
