He was born in
Ancona, son of Domenico, a painter. He painted two landscapes depicting storms in Loreto; work influenced by
Salvatore Rosa, but also by Dutch landscape artists popular in Italy, such
Plattenberg and
Mulier. His works often included
capricci, similar to those seen in works by
Marco Ricci. Peruzzini travelled prior to 1687 to Venice, Bologna, Modena, Parma,
Casale Monferrato and Turin. He stayed in
Bologna from 1682 to 1686, where he worked in collaboration with
Sebastiano Ricci and
Giovanni Antonio Burrini. In this period, he contributed to
Temptations of St Antony and
Landscape with wood-cutter (1690s). In 1703, he moved to Tuscany, patronized by
Ferdinand de' Medici, and he worked with
Alessandro Magnasco, painting landscapes for the painter known for his small figures. Together they painted
Landscape with frati penitenti di Stockholm or
Landscape with St Francis in Ecstasy now in the
Uffizi. He followed Magnasco to Milan in 1712–13, and they continued collaborations until 1720–25. ==References==
