About Giovanni Vincenzo Forli
Lived 1580 – 1620 (aged 39–40). Giovanni Vincenzo Forli was a painter.
Giovanni Vincenzo Forli (c. 1580 in Forlì del Sannio – c. 1625) was an Italian painter of the Baroque period, active in Naples.
In 1607–1608, he painted a Good Samaritan for the Church of Pio Monte della Misericordia, where Caravaggio had just painted the main altarpiece of The Seven Works of Mercy.
