Antonio Maria Vassallo (c. 1620-1664/1673) was an Italian painter of the Baroque period, active mainly in Genoa, and painting mythologic scenes and still lifes. [1]

His biography is poorly documented, and mainly depends on the Genoese biographer Raffaele Soprani (1674) as a source. He initially apprenticed with Vincenzo Malò (c. 1605-c. 1650), a Flemish artist who had studied with Teniers the Elder and Rubens. Vassallo appears to have been influenced by his fellow Genoese Sinibaldo Scorza and Giovanni Benedetto Castiglione. [1]

He painted a St. Francis with Three female saints (1648) for the church of San Gerolamo in Quarto. [2] Vassallo also painted a Martyrdom of Saint Marcello Mastrilli' (1664) for the Convento di Carignano. [3] Vassallo also painted portraits, yet no portraits by Vassallo are known at present.

The closest follower of Vassallo's still-life style is Giovanni Agostino Cassana (c. 1658-1720). [1]
