Giovanni Antonio Faldoni (born April 24, 1689 in Asolo , Republic of Venice ; died around 1770 in Rome or Venice ) was an Italian engraver and painter.
Life
Giovanni Antonio Faldoni's father Girolamo Faldoni was a painter, his brother Francesco Faldoni worked as an engraver. Faldoni was a student of the landscape painter Antonio Luciani. While studying in Paris, he acquired the new technique of parallel hatching , as he had seen it with Claude Mellan . He settled in Venice and was successful with this technique in depicting antiquities and portraits. He worked for the engraver and publisher Antonio Maria Zanetti the Elder and his nephew of the same name.
A pupil of Faldoni was Marco Alvise Pitteri . After disputes, Faldoni was banished from the Serenissima area in 1765. He can then still be traced to Rome, but his place of death is unclear.
