Sebastiano Vini

1530 – 1602

Italian painter, also known as Bastiano Veronese. He was trained in his native Verona probably in the workshop of Domenico Brusasorci, but his work shows the influence of Paolo Veronese. In 1548 he settled in Pistoia and married there. His son, Jacopo Vini was also a painter. He was prolific in Pistoia. Among his works was an Annunciation (1552) for the later-suppressed church of San Pierino alla Porta Lucchese, then moved to the Sacristy of the Prepositura del Montale. He painted a Nativity for the main altar of the Conservatory of San Giovanni Battista. He painted for the churches of Letto and of the Monks of San Sebastiano. He painted another Annunciation for the church of San Giovanni Fuoricivitas, and a Presentation at the Temple for the church of the Servites. He painted frescoes for the façade of San Desiderio (1596?) and for the church and cloister of San Domenico. He made few works outside Pistoia.
