Filippo Balbi

Filippo Balbi (1806 - 27 September 1890) was an Italian painter, active in an archaic style depicting allegoric and religious scenes.

Filippo was born in Naples, and studied in the Academy of Fine Arts of his native city, but moved to Rome.

In 1854, he began to paint a ceiling for the Certosa di Trisulti located in Collepardo, province of Frosinone.

Much of his life's output after 1859 was for the Certosa, including canvases for the church, lunettes, and eclectic frescoes for the pharmacy.
