Giovanni Alberti

Giovanni Alberti (* October 19, 1558 in Sansepolcro, † August 10, 1601 in Rome) was an Italian painter of the Renaissance.

He was the brother of the painter and engraver Cherubino Alberti (1553-1615) and the painter Alessandro Alberti (1551-1596) and son of the painter and architect Alberto di Giovanni Alberti ( 1525-1599 ).

He went to Rome, where he worked with his brothers for the Vatican, only under Gregory XIII. and then under Clement VIII. For example, they were involved in the decoration of the Sala Clementina, Sala degli Svizzeri and Sala dei Palafrenieri Vecchia in the Vatican, the sacristy of the Lateran Church and the Capella Maggiore of San Silvestro al Quirinale. Giovanni Alberti was responsible for the perspective and landscape and was a master in this field (for example, paid tribute to him Ignazio Danti therefore 1583 ). Except in Rome, he worked in Sansepolcro, Mantua ( Palazzo Ducale with his brother Alessandro from 1586), Perugia and Florence.

He is buried in Rome at the Chiesa di Santa Maria del Popolo.
