Giacomo van Lint by Hendrik Frans van Lint

Giacomo van Lint or Jacob van Lint (Rome, 8 February 1723 – Rome, 1 August 1780)[1] was an Italian landscape and vedute painter of Flemish descent active in Rome. He was the son of Hendrik Frans van Lint, one of the leading landscape painters in Rome in the first half of the 18th century. Like his father he supplied a clientele of local patrons as well as European travelers on their Grand Tour with views of the ancient and modern monuments of Rome as well as views of the Roman Campagna.[2][3]
