Bartolomeo Pinelli (1781-1835) was an Italian artist and engraver who swiftly gained popularity in Italy through his illustrations for classical Italian and Roman works. As his success mounted, he turned to Italian scenes and vignettes which earned him respect from other European countries. He published many collections of plates throughout his life, and at the hour of France’s July Revolution (1830), he styled himself of the painter of the Roman people.
