Antonio Bottazzi (died 1870) was an Italian painter, active in the 19th century in Lombardy.
He was born in Cremona studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Milan, a contemporary of Pietro Bignami of Lodi. He painted portraits, historical and sacred subjects. He painted a Glory of the Virgin for the Lodi Cathedral.Lodi monografia storico-artistica, by Felice De Angeli, Andrea Timolati, published in Milan (1877), page 134. He painted an altarpiece of the Assumption of the Virgin (1834) for the parish church of Roncadello.Raccotta di articoli artistici editi ed inediti by Luigi Malvezzi, pages 145-146. He painted a duel of Henry IV, Holy Roman Emperor, and the Gonfaloniere of Cremona, Giovanni Baldesio; the subject must have had subversive echoes at the time, given the occupation of Lombardy by Austrians.L Malvezzi, page 17. Antonio frescoed the four Evangelists for the parish church of Castelleone.L Malvezzi, page 64.
