Giovanni Speranza de' Vajenti
Giovanni Speranza (c. 1470 – 1540s) was an Italian painter. He was born and was active in Vicenza, where he was a follower of Benedetto Montagna.[1] His exact birth and death years are not confirmed with one claiming he was born in 1480 and died in 1546.[2][3]
He is mentioned briefly by Giorgio Vasari, in his entry on Jacopo Sansovino. He later claims both Montagna and Speranza were pupils of Andrea Mantegna.[4] It is unclear if he is related to the Baroque painter Giovanni Battista Speranza.
