Giovanni Cianfanini (1462–1542) was an Italian painter of the
Renaissance, active in
Florence. Little biographical information is known, except that he was the son of
Benedetto Cianfanini, also a painter. Giovanni appears to have had a short apprenticeship with
Sandro Botticelli, then been associated with the studio of
Lorenzo di Credi in Florence. He mainly painted history, sacred subjects, and portraits.
