Giovanni Battista Salvi da Sassoferrato, also known as Giovanni Battista Salvi, was an Italian Baroque painter, known for his archaizing commitment to Raphael’s style. He is often referred to only Nicolas Bertin (1667 in Paris – 1736) was a French painter. A student of Jean Jouvenet, Vernansal the elder and Louis Boullongne, he won the prix de Rome in 1685 for Michelangelo’s Pietà in St. Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican.
