Giovanni Serodine (1600 – December 21, 1630) was a Switzerland, Swiss-Italy, Italian painter of the early Baroque period.
Born to a family of stuccoists in Ascona in Canton Ticino (in present-day Switzerland), he gravitated to Rome and there developed an idiosyncratic expression of Caravaggisti, Carravaggist style. His style has the loose brushstroke and luminosity of some of the Utrecht Caravaggisti, northern Caravaggisti, such as Johann Liss, Lys, Bernardo Strozzi, Strozzi and Domenico Fetti, Fetti, who were active in Venice. However, some of Serodine's canvases show a provincial eccentricity, for example ''Coronation of the Virgin'' in Ascona. Baglione found in his art a great vivacity, although he noted Serodine appears to have made few friends and patrons in Rome.
In his short mature career, he produced a handful of intensely emotional tenebrism, tenebrist canvases such as a ''Jesus among the Masters'' (Louvre), ''Jesus and the Tribute money'' (National Gallery of Scotland), ''Saint Lawrence distributing alms'' (painted for San Lorenzo fuori le Mura, now Convent of Valvisciolo in Sermoneta), ''Decapitation of Saint John the Baptist'' (San Lorenzo fuori le Mura), ''Saint Michael'' (originally San Pietro in Montorio) and ''Transfiguration of Christ'' (whereabouts unknown), ''Road to Emmaus'' and ''Sons of Zebedee'' (Ascona), ''Portrait of his father'' (Lugano) and ''Portrait of a Philosopher'' (Rancate).
