Bartolomeo Bimbi (1648–1723) was a Florentine painter of still lifes spurred by his patrons including Cosimo III Grand Duke of Tuscany to paint large canvases of flora and fauna for the Medici Villa dell’Ambrogiana and della Topaia now conserved in the Pitti Palace and the Museo Botanico dell’Universita. He partly was following the tradition of Jacopo Ligozzi in documenting the botanical collections of the Medici. He was a pupil of Lorenzo Lippi and Onorio Marinari.
