Giacomo Gentili the Younger (1717 - 1765), was an Italian ceramist. He began his training at his father's workshop. Giacomo showed great talent in the art of decoration, producing works that matched the style of his father and brother.
Giacomo Gentili the Younger painted both sacred and mythological themes, as well as having created works representing pastoral scenes.
His work is characterized by his ability to represent animals with expressive and lively features, inspired by works by Philipp Peter Roos, also known as Rosa da Tivoli.
The series of saucers preserved in the Museum of San Martino in Naples, representing Susanna and the elders, Triton, Nereid and putti, and Anchises tying the sandal to Venus, is attributed to Giacomo Gentili the Younger, as is a tondo depicted with the Adoration of golden calf, preserved in the collections of the Sforzesco Castle.
At the Museum of San Martino, there are also the plate with Galatea and Aura and the oval with the Battle between the Turks and Christian knights.
