Paolo Antonio Alboni (1671 5 October 1734)[1] was an Italian painter of the late-Baroque period. He was born and trained in Bologna, where he became a landscape painter. After practising for some time in Rome and Naples, he went in 1710 to Vienna, where he remained nearly thirteen years, but being deprived of the use of his right side by a stroke, he returned to Bologna; he subsequently painted with his left hand. His daughter, Luigia Maria Rosa Alboni, was also a landscape painter. She died in 1759.
