Gabriele Ricciardelli (born c. 1690, flourished c. 1743– c. 1777 or 1782), was an Italian painter of the Baroque period, active mainly in depicting landscapes.
One institution described his work thus: His Irish scenes being distinguished by his excellently accurate portrayal of architectural features.
[2] An auction cataloguer described him thus: Ricciardelli was exceptional among the Neapolitan view painters in that he spent part of his career in Ireland (Dublin 1753-1759) and England (1777).
His four vedute of Naples, engraved by Antonio Cardon in 1765, found great success with the English nobility.
[4] The dating of the Drogheda pair is based on the inclusion of St. Peter's Church of Ireland, which was rebuilt to a Palladian design from 1748 and re-consecrated, on 22 September 1752.
