Francesco Paolo Palizzi

Francesco Paolo Palizzi (16 April 1825, Vasto - 16 March 1871, Naples), was an Italian painter; primarily known for landscapes.

He was the eighth of nine children born to Antonio Palizzi, a lawyer, and his wife Doralice née Del Greco.

He soon became more oriented towards landscapes and still lifes; influenced by the works of seventeenth and eighteenth century artists such as Paolo Porpora, Giuseppe Recco and Giovan Battista Ruoppolo.

[2] His brothers Filippo and Nicola also seem to have exerted some stylistic influence.

[2] In 1870, the Franco-Prussian War forced him to return to Italy, where he suddenly fell ill and died in 1871, aged only forty-five.
