Giovanni Andrea Ansaldo
Giovanni Andrea Ansaldo was an Italian painter active mainly in Genoa. He trained under Orazio Cambiasi and possibly collaborated with Bernardo Strozzi. Ansaldo's works are typical of the Genoese eclecticism of the early 17th century, influenced by Flemish artists. Ansaldo was responsible for the fresco decoration of the cupola of the Basilica della Santissima Annunziata del Vastato of Genova. His Annunciation fresco is considered the first true Baroque painting in the city.
