Giuseppe Bonolis

Giuseppe Bonolis (January 1, 1800 – April 2, 1851) was an Italian painter, known for his portraits and historical canvases.

He taught Calligraphy in the Royal College of Teramo, but in 1820 he was dismissed because he was suspected of seditious Carboneria connections.

[1] He moved to Naples in 1822, where he attended the Academy of Fine Arts, and studied under Giuseppe Cammarano.

[3] Among his other canvases are The four gifts of Poets ; an Immaculate Conception for the private chapel of the Marchese Tommasi; St Paul; Solon in the Aereopagus; Coriolanus near the Volsci; and a Charon transporting souls.

He died from typhus in 1851 in Naples, and his burial monument there contains a marble bust by Pasquale Ricca.
