A perfect statement picture for any home. Frame: 40" high x 35" wide Canvas: 29.5" high x 24" wide Very good condition. No damages noted. Ready to hang. Bonito was born at Castellammare di Stabia, and, like Traversi, was a student at the large studio of Francesco Solimena. One of his contemporaries there was Gaspare Traversi. Bonito represented urban scenes with folklore details and figures of commedia dell’arte. Between the 1736 and 1742 Bonito worked for the House of Borbon in the royal Palace of Portici. He also painted portraits including one of Maria Amalia of Saxony, wife of the Charles VII, king of Naples and Charles III of Spain. An altarpiece of the Immaculate Conception was painted in 1789 for the chapel of Royal Palace of Caserta. One of his pupils was Angelo Mozzillo. He died in Naples.
