Giovanni Battista Viola was an Italian painter of the early Baroque period in Rome. Viola was born in Bologna and went to Rome in about 1600. He established himself as a specialist landscape painter, executing frescoes and easel paintings with small figures. Viola was closely associated with Francesco Albani (1578–1660) who married his daughter in 1613. He worked with Domenichino and Albani at Bassano di Sutri in 1610 and collaborated in the execution of the frescoes by Domenichino in the Stanza di Apollo at the Villa Aldobrandini, Frascati. Viola was well respected for his landscape canvases, which were documented among the works in the collections of Cardinal Pietro Aldobrandini, Giustiniani, Cardinal Mazarin and the Pamphilj. Louis XIV of France collected at least landscapes, now in the Louvre. He was a teacher of Bartolommeo Lotto and Pietro Paolo Bonzi (il Gobbo dalle Frutta) and would have been influential for Claude Lorraine. The biography of Amorini recounts that Viola died mortified after offending Cardinal Ludovisi.
