Giovanni Andrea Sirani was an Italian Baroque painter and printmaker, father of Elisabetta Sirani and the lesser known Anna Maria Sirani.
Giovanni Andrea Sirani began his artistic education through a brief apprenticeship in the studio of Giacomo Cavedone, only to join the school of Guido Reni, becoming a favourite pupil of the maestro.
Sirani's paintings can be found in various Bolognese churches. His recent works show the influence of the Venetian school.
