Valerio Baldassari
Valerio Baldassari (c.1650 – after 1695) was an Italian painter of the Baroque period. He was born in Pescia, and trained with Pietro Dandini.[1] He is said to have labored with such "speedy flair" ... that his works look rather like preliminary drafts that finished paintings" ("lavorava ogni cosa con quella tale sprezzatura... di modo che le sue opere sembrano piuttosto abozzi che pitture terminate"). He is also known as Baldissari.
