Giovanni Battista Bertucci
painter (1465–1516)
Giovanni Battista da Faenza, called Bertucci, who painted in the style of Perugino and Pinturicchio, flourished in the early part of the 16th century at Faenza. In the Pinacoteca of that city there are various works ascribed to him, of which the most remarkable is a Majesty, signed by him and bearing the date 1506. Crowe and Cavalcaselle also claim for Bertucci an Adoration of the Magi in the Berlin Gallery, there ascribed to Pinturicchio, and a Glorification of the Virgin in the National Gallery, given in the catalogue to Lo Spagna, who was a pupil of Perugino.
His last will and testament, dated 1594, was collected in Gualandi's Memori.

Why this record matters
“Giovanni Battista Bertucci” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Giovanni, Battista and Bertucci provides the most credible route into that argument.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 21, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q3106938. VIAF identifies the subject as 95717070. 2 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1506, 1594 and 1886.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
