Andrea dell'Asta

Andrea dell'Asta (c. 1673-1721) was an Italian painter of the late-baroque period. Born in Bagnoli (once just outside Naples) and died in Naples. He trained with Francesco Solimena, and worked for a time in Rome. His name has myriad spellings, the painter himself used "Aste" but other have used "d'Asti, D'Asti, Dell'Asti", etc. Much of his work in Naples was destroyed by World War II. He painted a "Nativity" and "Epiphany" for the church of the Scalzi in Naples. He also painted an "Annununciation" for Santa Maria dell'Avocata and a "Maddona of sorrows" for San Giovanni Battista delle Monache. He died in Naples.
