Giacinto Gigante (Naples, 1806 - Naples, 1876). He was first a student of the German W. Huber, an academic landscape painter, then of the Dutch A. Pitloo, who guided him to the taste of en plein air landscape which informed the so-called Posillipo School. In 1830 he published the collection of lithographs Views of Naples and its surroundings and in 1846, following the Tsar of Russia to Sicily, he composed an Album of views of the island. A good designer and expert colourist, he produced numerous works, ranging from drawings to lithography and etching, from oil painting to watercolor and half tempera (Pozzuoli, 1849, Milan, Jucker collection; The Chapel of the Treasure of S. Gennaro animated of people, 1863, Naples, National Gallery of Capodimonte; The garden of the nuns in Donnaregina, 1865, Naples, National Museum of San Martino).
