SwissArtGallery · Documented identity
Filippo Napoletano, also called Filippo Angeli or Teodoro Filippo di Liagno, was an Italian painter, draughtsman and etcher active in the early seventeenth century. His Florentine residence, from 1617 to 1621, placed him in the service of Cosimo II de’ Medici. He produced landscapes, battle pictures and genre scenes, using copper and different kinds of stone as painting supports.
The Snail Seller, painted on copper in 1622 and held in the Pitti Palace, presents a young man at a table making the horn gesture. The Louvre’s Construction of a Ship combines red chalk, pen and brown wash. His interest in observation also appears in the etched Skeletons series, published in Florence in 1620–1621 and dedicated to Johannes Faber. The Istituto Centrale per la Grafica preserves plates from this series.
