Giovanni Antonio De Pieri, known as il Zoppo Vicentino (1671–1751) was an Italian painter of the Baroque style, born and active in Vicenza.[1]
He was prolific locally in painting sacred subjects. He was dismissed by the art historian Lanzi as having an easy brush but less decisive.[2] An inventory of art in Vicenza in 1769, cites the following works by Pieri:[3]
- God the Father and Saints, Education of the Virgin, Flight to Egypt, and Madonna and Child at San Bartolomeo
- Judith decapitates Holofernes at Santa Maria in Araceli
- Canon Lateran Priest and Soldier at Corpus Domine church of Canons Lateran
- St Antony and Child for parish church of Santa Croce
- St Benedict for church of Santa Caterina
- Arrival of the Holy Spine on organ shutters, an oval depicting Santa Rosa, and Ascent of Christ for a chapel in the church of Santa Corona
- Deposition for parish church of San Marcello
- Saints Benedict and Scholastica in Glory for the church of Santi Felice e Fortunato
- Apparition of Virgin to Beato Felice for the church of the Cappuccini
