Louis Jean Alfred Bonamici, born Luigi Bonamici on January 13, 1878 in Livorno (Italy) and died on March 12, 1966 in France, was a French painter of Italian origin.

He was the son of Jean Bonamici and Égérie Bertacchi. He intended very early to paint.

His panels or his oils on canvas represent seascapes, scenes of ports, fishing, creeks but also bouquets of flowers, rural landscapes, more rarely village scenes, all in a Provence bathed in sunshine, as in bear witness to his tartan paintings in Martigues.

Louis Bonamici used the technique of painting with a knife like his contemporary Louis Pastour and sometimes that of watercolor. Certain artistic critics thus see in him a distant pupil of Adolphe Monticelli.

The artist was very present in painting salons between 1907 and 1935 in Martigues, Cannes, Nice, Toulon, Paris or Marseille. He also painted in Italy, especially in Venice, Greece, North Africa. His trip to North America in 1923-1924 was immortalized by his views of California and exhibited in San Francisco, Los Angeles and New York during the interwar period.

His abundant production ensured the painter a certain financial ease thanks to a network of renowned gallery owners who opened the doors to fame wherever he exhibited: Moullot in Marseille, Armand Drouant or Georges Petit in Paris, John Levy in New York. He was appointed painter of the Navy in 1921.

In the 1930s, Louis Bonamici moved to Le Lavandou where he remained until his death.
