Giovanni Battista Coriolano

Giovanni Battista Coriolano (1590–1649) was an Italian engraver of the Baroque period. He was almost certainly the son of the German transplant to Italy, the engraver Cristoforo Coriolano. Giovanni Battista was born and died in Bologna. He studied painting under Giovanni Luigi Valesio, but found little work painting in churches at Bologna. He painted a St. Nicholas and a St. Bruno for the church of Santa Anna; and an altarpiece of Saints John, James, & Bernard for the Nunziata. He also engraved a number of theses and frontispieces.
