Giuseppe Cammarano

Giuseppe Cammarano (4 June 1766, Sciacca – 8 October 1850, Naples) was an Italian painter of frescoes and portraits.

Later that year, he was commissioned by the King to restore the frescoes in the Royal Palace, which had been damaged by the French troops that were sent in to quell the Neapolitan Revolution.

His most important fresco there is Minerva Awarding Prizes to Arts and Sciences, on the Ceiling of the Council Hall (1814).

Also at the Palace, he created Hector Reproves Paris (1818) and, outside of what later became the bedchamber of King Francis II, he depicted the Victory of Theseus Over the Minotaur (1824).

He acted Occasionally, with other members of his family, and wrote lyric poems in the Neapolitan dialect.
