Giuliano Traballesi

(b Florence, 2 Nov 1727; d Milan, 14 Nov 1812). Italian painter and engraver. He trained in Florence with Agostino Veracini (1689-1762) and Francesco Conti (1681-1760), and studied architecture and stage design under Antonio Galli-Bibiena. His earliest known painting is a fresco of 1758: Heavenly Father in Glory in the Dominican church in Livorno. He enriched his art by the study of Correggio's works in Parma, and also those of Bolognese painters, making engravings (1764-7) after paintings by Guido Reni, Agostino Carracci, Annibale Carracci, Guercino and others. These were praised in 1765 by Pierre-Jean Mariette and were later collected in an album entitled Venticinque quadri ai maestri eccellenti incisi da Giuliano Traballesi (Milan, 1796).
