Francesco Morelli

Francesco Morelli (ca. 1767 – ca. 1830) was a French-Italian painter and engraver. He was active in Naples and known as a painter or engraver of Pompeian subjects.[1][2]

He was born in the Franche-Comte, and then traveled to Rome.[3] He completed a series of engravings depicting the so-called Villa of Horace in Licenza with Hackert and Luigi Sabatelli.[4]

Another Francesco Morelli from Florence was the first and dear mentor of Giovanni Baglione.
