Giovanni Santi (ital.
Giovanni Santi; 1435, Urbino - August 1, 1494, Urbino) - Italian Renaissance artist, father
Rafael Santi. Giovanni Santi learned from
Piero della Francesca. Santi senior was a court painter at
Duke Urbino Federigo da Montefeltro and a high-ranking official, something like the Minister of Education and Culture of his heir
Guidobaldo... Giovanni Santi often painted Madonnas and Infants, moreover, perhaps his wife and son, Raphael, posed for him.
