Ferrante Amendola (1664-1724) was an Italian historical painter, active in Naples.
[1] He studied under Francesco Solimena, in whose style he painted for some time, but afterwards imitated that of Luca Giordano.
He painted many works at Naples, among them two altar-pieces in the Church of the Madonna di Montevergine.
Nagler mentions an ingenious picture, by this artist, of a Quack Doctor's Shop in the Royal Gallery at Munich.
Bernardo de Dominici says that Amendola's chief merit consisted in a practical facility of coloring, and that he completely failed in his attempt to imitate the masterly style of Giordano, especially in the draperies.
