Artist Biography

Girolamo Gianni was born in Italy in 183, living and worked in Valletta producing many works of the Harbour and also other views around Malta. Later in his career Gianni was commissioned by the Duke of Edinburgh to paint the ships of the Fleet and the painting we illustrate here is a typical example. Gianni made many drawings of the Fleet which served him as models, and his studio was a focal point for many important people who visited Valletta. For two decades the artist maintained a prolific flow of landscapes and marine paintings. Most of these works were purchased by the officer class of the British garrison in Malta as well as their Naval counterparts. Gianni dies in 1895.
