Giovanni Baleison or Giovanni Belisoni (active 1480-1500) was a French-Italian fresco artist, active in the Piedmont, Liguria, and France.[1][2]

He was born in Demonte, Piedmont.[3] He executed frescoes at a number of churches, including St Sebastian Churches of Venanson, Saint-Étienne-de-Tinée, and Celle di Macra.[4] He also painted frescoes (1482-1485) for the chapel of St Sebastian in the church of Santi Sebastiano e Fabiano in Marmora, Piedmont. The frescoes depict the infancy of Christ: Nativity, Adoration by the magi, plus an Apocriphal story about the Miracle of the Grain during the Flight to Egypt.
