Pietro Bardellino (17 February 1728, Naples - 1806, Naples) was an Italian painter in the Rococo style.
His personal style derives from that of his teacher, Francesco De Mura. As early as 1750, he was commissioned to paint the ceiling in the large room of the Ospedale degli Incurabili, depicting Machaon curing Menelaus.
He created other notable, decorative works at the Oratorio della Confraternita dei Bianchi dello Spirito Santo (1753), the Cattedrale di Bitonto (1764), and the basilica of San Giacomo degli Spagnoli (1778); all of a religious nature. He also decorated the homes of several noble families. [1]
In 1773, he was appointed a member of the Accademia Napoletana del Disegno (now the Accademia di Belle Arti di Napoli), to succeed the recently deceased Luigi Vanvitelli. In 1779, he was named a master of the Accademia. In 1789, the protested the change in emphasis from Rococo to Neoclassical styles, in a letter to the King, and his influence there waned. [1]
His largest, most challenging project came in 1781: the ceiling of the Grand Hall at the Palazzo degli Studi , which later became part of the Real Museo Borbonico. It depicts the apotheosis of King Ferdinand IV and Queen Maria Carolina.
During his later years, his notable works include a portrait of the architect Gaetano Barba (1790), and the frescoes for the Biblioteca dei Girolamini (1792). Several of his works at the Basilica di Santa Chiara have been lost.
In 1803, he and Desiderio De Angelis (1743-1811) were chosen to operate the nude drawing school at the Accademia, but his appointment was not confirmed until the year he died. [1]
Giovanni Battista Tiepolo, also known as GiambattistaTiepolo, was an Italian painter and printmaker from the Republic of Venice who painted in the Rococo style, considered an important member of the 18th-century Venetian school.

Belisario Corenzio was a Greek-Italian painter, active in Venice and Naples. He is one of few Greek painters that did not belong to the Cretan Renaissance like his contemporaries of the time. He escaped the maniera greca completely. He adopted the Venetian style. Other similar Greek painters were Marco Basaiti, Ioannis Permeniates, Antonio Vassilacchi and El Greco. He was sometimes referred to as Il Greco. His teacher was prominent Venetian painter Tintoretto. In 1590, at age 32 Corenzio settled in Naples. Corenzio was influenced by Cavalier d'Arpino. He continued to flourish in the region. His apprentices included: Luigi Rodriguez, Andrea di Leone, Onofrio De Lione and Massimo Stanzione. Corenzio painted many frescos that survived today. Some of his works are in the Church of San Severino and Certosa di San Martino. His style resembles Caravaggio. An Italian legend in Naples exists involving Corenzio, Spanish painter Jusepe de Ribera, and Battistello Caracciolo. They were referred to as the Cabal of Naples. The three painters were rumored to have poisoned their competition for painting contracts. The rumors lack documented evidence. The three painters were very popular in Naples. Corenzio frescoed the Crypt that holds the remains of Matthew the Apostle at Salerno Cathedral and it depicts scenes from the Gospel of Matthew. Corenzio was one of the most celebrated fresco painters in Naples during his time. His drawings can be found all over the world namely at the Metropolitan Museum, Museo di Capodimonte and Louvre. More recently, his life and work was studied by the Greek art historian Panayotis K. Ioannou in a comprehensive monograph.
