Marco San Martino was an Italian Baroque painter and etcher active in the late 17th century. He executed large-scale religious commissions including the Baptism of Constantine and St. John the Baptist Preaching for Rimini Cathedral, and contributed altarpieces to the Basilica dei Santi Giovanni e Paolo in Venice. His work exemplifies the dramatic light and narrative intensity characteristic of Counter-Reformation ecclesiastical painting.
