Sebastiano Vini (Verona, 1530 - 1602) was an Italian painter.
Biography
He was the son of Giovanni Piero. It is unknown under whom or where he trained, but his work shows the influence of Paolo Veronese. By 1548, he had married in Pistoia. His son, Jacopo Vini was also a painter.
He was prolific in Pistoia. Among his works was an Annunciation (1552) for the later-suppressed church of San Pierino alla Porta Lucchese, then moved to the Sacristy of the Prepositura del Montale. He painted a Nativity for the main altar of the Conservatory of San Giovanni Battista. He painted for the churches of Letto and of the Monks of San Sebastiano. He painted another Annunciation for the church of San Giovanni Fuoricivitas, and a Presentation at the Temple for the church of the Servites.
He painted frescoes for the facade of San Desiderio (1596?) and for the church and cloister of San Domenico. He made few works outside Pistoia, including Cutigliano and Florence.
