ANTONIO IANNICELLI

Antonio Iannicelli was born in Naples in 1952 and now lives and works in Castelvolturno.

As a boy he showed a great inclination for painting and he cultivated it with a simple

affection, taking the heaven, the sea and the local people as his inspiration. With that he

has become one of Europe’s foremost landscape artists.

He has staged many personal exhibitions both in Italy and abroad and his work is always

featured in the highest Italian art expos. For many years he has enjoyed wide popularity

throughout the UK and the rest of Europe and is a favourite artistic import in the States.

Iannicelli paints almost exclusively the Italian landscape that he so loves. Where his work

excels and enthralls collectors above all are in his Venetian works and coastal scenes of

Campania on the Neapolitan Riviera, with the beautiful islands of Ischia and Capri.

His work captures the tranquillity of the coastal landscapes, where the cloudless sky meets

the horizon of the endless azure Mediterranean. He manages to render unusual aspects

with expressive immediateness. The fluency and enthusiasm in his work is at once apparent,

while the intimacy on display is of a well rounded artisan.
