Life
Places of work recorded in the authority are Padua and Bologna. Works named in the authority record are Jesus among the Doctors, Circumcision, The Flight into Egypt and Madonna Adoring the Christ Child. Work by Giovanni Francesco da Rimini is recorded in the collections of Walters Art Museum, Brooklyn Museum, National Gallery, Musée du Petit Palais and Walker Art Gallery.
He was born in Rimini, and documents have place him in Padua between 1441 and 1444, and in Bologna several times 1459–1469. He painted primarily religious works for church commissions. His style and depictions of depth in some of his works suggest that he may have been influenced by the sculptures of Agostino di Duccio. Corrado Ricci saw the influence of Bonfigli in his style and attributed paintings in the apse of the Duomo of Atri to him. According to Ricci, he died in Bologna in 1471.
