Vincenzo Petrocelli

[3]: 371  From 1837[4] or about 1841[3]: 371  he studied at the Reale Istituto di Belle Arti in Naples, where he made copies of Old Masters and painted literary and historical subjects.

He participated again on several occasions, notably in 1841 (The Death of Galeazzo Sforza), 1848 (Isabella of Florence) and 1851 (A Family of Neophytes Surprised by the Praetorian Guard).

[4] His largest showing came in 1877 at the National Exhibition in Naples, which was visited by King Victor Emmanuel II.

Shortly after, he and several others were chosen to create a series of frescoes at the Temple of San Francesco [it] in Gaeta; designed many years before by his former fellow student, Domenico Morelli.

In Italy, his works may be seen at the Museo di Capodimonte and the museum in the Royal Palace of Caserta.
