Italian Neoclassical Painter, ca.1691-1765 Italian painter, architect and stage designer. He was a highly prolific and versatile painter, best known for his numerous vedute of Rome, many of which focused on the remnants of the city's Classical past. Ceremonies and festivals often feature in his vedute, which thus constitute a lively documentation of contemporary topography, lifestyle and customs. In contrast to Bernardo Bellotto and Gaspar van Wittel, his treatment is picturesque rather than rigorous; he liked to enliven and animate his views by adding numerous figures. He worked exclusively in Rome and by the end of his career was the head of a thriving workshop that included the Frenchman Hubert Robert (in Rome from 1754) and Panini's son Francesco Panini (b 1738).   Related Paintings of Panini, Giovanni Paolo :. | The Plaza and Church of St. Maria Maggiore | Ruins with Scene of the Apostle Paul Preaching | Adoration of the Shepherds | Interior of a Picture Gallery with the Collection of Cardinal Gonzaga | Departure of Duc de Choiseul from the Piazza di St. Pietro |
