Giovanni Battista Cavalcaselle (22 January 1819 – 31 October 1897) was an Italian writer and art critic, best known as part of "Crowe and Cavalcaselle", for the many works in English on art history he co-authored with Joseph Archer Crowe.
Their multi-volume A New History of Painting in Italy continued to be revised and republished until 1909, after both were dead.
Though now outdated, these are still often cited by modern art historians.
