Giuseppe Bonolis

(b Teramo, 1 Jan 1800; d Naples, 2 April 1851). Italian painter. At an early age he enrolled in the Scuola di Disegno set up by the comune of Teramo and run by Muzio Muzii, a pupil of Vincenzo Camuccini. Bonolis taught calligraphy for a brief time at the Real Collegio in Teramo and in 1822 moved to Naples, where he was a pupil of Costanzo Angelini and Joseph-Boniface Franque at the Accademia di Belle Arti. Around 1830 he moved briefly to Rome in order to study the work of Raphael, Domenichino, Agostino Carracci and Annibale Carracci and to attend the classes of Camuccini, who had recently become director of the Roman branch of the Accademia in Naples.
