Giovanni Battista Maganza (c. 1513–1586) was a late Renaissance Italian painter and poet from Vicenza mainly producing religious altarpieces for local churches. He was also a poet and a friend of Andrea Palladio. His son Alessandro Maganza was also a prominent local painter. Fontana cites Lanzi and Zanetti as Maganza’s dates of birth and death as 1509 and 1589 Giovanni De Mio was one of his pupils.
