Irolli Vincenzo (Naples, 1860 - Naples, 1942)

In 1877 he studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Naples, where his teachers were Gioacchino Toma and Maldarelli. In 1878 he created a portrait of the painter Rafael Izzo, which aroused the curiosity of Domenico Morelli; the following year, at the age of 19, at the XV Mostra della Promotrice Salvator Rosa he showed Felice rimembranza, and with him he won the first prize. After completing his studies in 1880, he began to paint intensely, drawing inspiration from the paintings of Morelli and Michetti, in a palette rich in intense colors. He creates landscapes, scenes of Venice and Naples, scenes of daily life (often set against the backdrop of a market), children, street urchins, women with mischievous attitudes (the mother scenes are also typical), vulgar sensualities and still lifes.
