Filippo Palizzi | The Excavation of Pompeii, 1865
Filippo Palizzi (1818-1899) was an Italian painter🎨 of the Verismo style.
He moved to Naples in 1837 and enrolled at the Royal Institute of Fine Arts, but withdrew after a few months to attend the private school of the painter Giuseppe Bonolis.
Contact with his brother Giuseppe, who moved to France in 1844, introduced him to the painting of the Barbizon School.
