Salvatore Postiglione

He studied at the Neapolitan Institute of Fine Arts under his uncle, Raffaele (1818-1897).

Like Morelli, his religious subject matter often focused on the mystical and morbid spirituality, as exemplified by his canvas of San Pier Damiani at the bedside of a dead Countess Adelaide of Turin, Marquesa of Susa (1887).

In 1881 at Turin, he exhibited: Arnaldo da Brescia and Pope Adrian IV; at the 1887 National Exhibition at Venice, he displayed the San Pier Damiano canvas, and a Portrait del mio maestro.

Another painting by Postiglione titled Kyrie eleison was exhibited at Naples.

[4] He also frescoed the hall of the Palazzo della Borsa of Naples, and of Castello Miramare in Trieste.
