Pietro Antoniani
Pietro Antoniani (circa 1740 – 1805) was an Italian painter, mainly of sea- and landscapes, often animated with figures, but also of historical subjects.[1]
Biography
He was born in Milan. Like his compatriot Giacinto Gigante in the next generation, and appealing to British tastes, he produced many paintings of the exotic volcanic eruptions of Vesuvius. He was likely a pupil of Jacob Philipp Hackert and the precursors of the School of Posillipo.[2]
