Biografi:

Pietro Antoniani was an Italian painter, mainly of sea- and landscapes, often animated with figures, but also of historical subjects.
Like his Giacinto Gigante in the next generation, and appealing to British tastes, the exotic volcanic eruptions of Vesuvius were a popular subject for the artist. He was likely a pupil of Jacob Philipp Hackert and the precursors of the School of Posillipo.
