Born in Florence, Sebastiano Galeotti was a pupil of Alessandro Gherardini In some way he can be called a peripatetic painter, who worked in Florence and Genoa but also in Parma and in the Piedmontese castle of Rivoli. In Turin, he was appointed director of the Academy, the precursor of the Accademia Albertina, and he died in Mondovì working for the House of Savoy.
