Viani, Antonio Maria (Called II Vianino)

an Italian painter, native of Cremona, flourished in the latter part of the 16th century. He acquired a knowledge of the art from the eminent painters of Cremona, the Campi, and was then invited by the duke Vincenzio Gonzaga to Mantua, where he executed several pictures for the churches, among which were St. Michael, in the Church of Sant Agnese; and the representation of Heaven, at the Orsoline, both in the style of his instructors. Besides his work in the churches, he was employed in many other edifices; and after the death of the duke remained in the employ of his three successors. See Spooner, Biog. Hist. of the Fine Arts, s.v.
