Bartolomeo Pinelli

Born: 1781, Italy, Rome, Trastevere   Died: 1835, Italy, Rome, Trastevere

Illustrator, engraver and watercolourist. Son of an artisan who modelled religious statues, father of Achille Pinelli (1809-1841), watercolourist. Studied at the Accademia di San Luca, Rome. Pinelli's work illustrated the people and the customs of Rome: their fashions, their poetry, their traditions. He also held in high regard the classical histories of Rome and Greece. Two of his most well-known engraving series are 'La Storia Romana' (Roman History) and 'La Storia Greca' (Greek History), finished in 1816 and 1821 respectively.
