Everything about Giovanni Paolo Pannini totally explained
Paolo Giovanni Pannini or
Panini (
June 17 1691 –
Rome,
October 21 1765) was an
Italian painter and
architect, mainly known as one of the
vedutisti or (
veduta, or "view painters").
As a young man, Pannini trained in his native town of
Piacenza as a
stage designer. In
1711, he moved to Rome, where he studied drawing with
Benedetto Luti and became famous as a decorator of palaces, including the
Villa Patrizi (1718–1725) and the
Palazzo de Carolis (1720). As a painter, Pannini is best known for his vistas of Rome, in which he took a particular interest in the city's antiquities. Among his most famous works are the interior of the
Pantheon, and his
vedute — paintings of picture galleries containing views of Rome. Most of his works, specially those of ruins have a substantial fanciful and unreal embellishment characteristic of
capriccio themes.
In 1719, Pannini was admitted to the
Congregazione dei Virtuosi al Pantheon. He taught in Rome at the
Accademia di San Luca and the
Académie de France, where he influenced
Jean-Honoré Fragonard. His studio included
Hubert Robert and his son
Francesco Panini. His style would influence a number of other vedutisti, such as his pupil
Antonio Joli, as well as
Canaletto and
Bernardo Bellotto, who sought to appease the need by visitors for painted "postcards" depicting the Italian environs.
