About Salvatore Petruolo

  • Biography

    Salvatore Petruolo (1857-1946) was a student of Gabriele Smargiassi at the Academy of Fine Arts in Naples. He is recorded for his wide range of coastal landscapes in the surroundings of Naples and some from Calabria. His landscapes from 1875 to 1898 show the influence of the School of Posillipo and Edoardo Dalbono. Thereafter, his paintings feature symbolist elements.

    His studio in Naples was visited by famous personalities, such as Emperor Frederick III, the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh and Princess Louise, the sister of King Edward of England. Today, works by Petruolo are on display in major museum collections, including the Museo Nazionale di Capodimonte in Naples.
