Giuseppe Costa

When he was still young, his family moved to Chieti, where he took some private painting lessons.

Later, he returned to Naples and enrolled at the Accademia di Belle Arti, where his primary instructor was Domenico Morelli.

Beginning in 1875, he held numerous showings at the "Società Promotrice di Belle Arti".

Some of his works were purchased by Kings Umberto I and Victor Emmanuel III.

He is largely remembered for his genre scenes, including The Userer and His Victims, Two Orphan Girls, Distraction, After Work, Innocuous Love and Necessity and Modesty.
