## About Girolamo Gianni

Girolamo Gianni (1837–1895) was an Italian painter whose career is closely associated with Malta. Public authority data identifies him as active there, while Art UK records works depicting Valletta, Verdala Palace, the Grand Harbour, Fort St Elmo, and British naval vessels in Maltese waters. These institutional records place his work within nineteenth-century landscape, city-view, and marine painting, although the available sources do not assign him to a named movement. Collectors are most likely to encounter painted views of Malta, especially harbours, fortifications, ships, and architectural landmarks. Art UK lists paintings in the Museum of the Order of St John and the National Maritime Museum, including scenes of the Mediterranean Fleet and individual Royal Navy ships. Gianni's market identity therefore depends heavily on subject, location, date, medium, dimensions, physical condition, and confidence in attribution. Exact day-level birth and death dates are not established by the available sources, so this page uses year-only life dates.

## Common works and media

Institutional records chiefly identify Gianni with paintings of Malta. Documented subjects include Valletta and its Grand Harbour, Fort St Elmo, Verdala Palace, harbour panoramas, Mediterranean fleet gatherings, and portraits of specific Royal Navy ships at Malta. Works encountered for appraisal should be assessed individually for medium, support, dimensions, date, signature or inscriptions, condition, restoration, provenance, and the strength of the attribution.

## Market and appraisal context

Appraisily's public market index reports 147 matched records for Girolamo Gianni, including 103 priced records, across auction dates from 1997 to 2026. Its observed results range from $50 to $163,250, with a reported median near $3,346, but these figures describe a varied public-auction sample rather than a prediction for an individual work. A useful comparison should match the work's medium, dimensions, date, Maltese or maritime subject, condition, restoration history, provenance, inscriptions, and attribution status. Buyers should also check whether a reported result includes buyer's premium or other fees. Private transactions, incomplete feeds, and subsequent attribution changes may fall outside the available record.

## Appraisily data basis
