Salvatore Fergola (Naples, 24 April 1799 - Naples, 7 March 1874) was an Italian painter, mainly of landscapes or vedute in and around his native Naples. He is considered an exponent of the School of Posillipo.
He was born in Naples. He was the son of the engraver of landscapes, Luigi Fergola and his wife, Teresa Conti. Salvatore was educated in literature and architecture. He became a follower of Jakob Philipp Hackert, who had also mentored his father. Like his father, and other painters such as Giacinto Gigante, he worked for some time in the Royal Topographic office. He was heavily patronized by the Bourbon Court; [1] for example, in 1819 the future Francesco I of the Two Sicilies commissioned views of Naples, including Naples from Capodimonte, Naples from Marinella, Naples from Ponte della Maddalena, a Veduta of the Botanical Gardens.
In 1827, he was nominated honorary professor to the Royal Institute of Arts (Real Istituto di Belle Arti (now the Accademia di Belle Arti di Napoli). Among his pupils was Achille Vertunni, [2] Ignazio Lavagna, and Giuseppe Benassai. [3] He died in Naples in 1874.
He was often utilized to commemorate government works and events: for example:
