Giuseppe Gandolfo Explained

Giuseppe Gandolfo (28 August 1792 – 13 September 1855) was an Italian painter, active mainly in Sicily in a Neoclassical style.

Born in Catania, Sicily, he moved to Rome to study under Giuseppe Errante, then briefly moved to Florence to work under Pietro Benvenuti. In Florence, he made a number of copies of classic works. Among his own designs were a Diogenes, Holy Family, Apollo plays his lyre, Mary Magdalen, and a Telemachus, Agamemnon and Idomeneo. He was also prized for portraits.[1]
