Francesco Vanni (* 1563 in Siena ; † October 26, 1610 ibid) was an Italian painter in the Baroque and Mannerist styles .

Life

Together with his younger half-brother Ventura Salimbeni (1568–1613) he grew up in Siena and learned to paint in the workshop of his stepfather Arcangelo Salimbeni . In 1579 he went to Bologna , where he worked with Bartolomeo Passarotti . In the 1890s he returned to Siena to design the altar of Sant'Ansano, the city's patron saint, in the Siena Cathedral . From 1600 to 1604 he stayed in Rome to work in St. Peter's Basilica . His first marriage was with Aurora Amaroni in 1570 and his second marriage was with Catarina Rossetti from 1584. He was the father of Michelangelo Vanni and Raffaello Vanni and teacher of Astolfo Petrazzi . His tomb was designed by his two sons and is located in the church of San Giorgio in Siena.

The majority of Francesco Vanni's work falls into the field of religious painting, but some portraits and drawings are also known.
