Giovanni Speranza de’ Vajenti

Giovanni Speranza (circa 1470 - 1530s) is an Italian painter. He was born and was active in Vicenza, where he was a follower of Benedetto Montagna.[1] One source claims a birth in 1480 and death 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.
