Leonardo Coccorante

Leonardo Coccorante

Leonardo Coccorante (1680-1750) was an Italian (Neapolitan) painter who is best known for his large highly detailed landscapes with imaginary classical architectural ruins. He often included small figures in the foreground to emphasize the enormity of the ruins. Coccorante is classified as a veduta (or vista) painter.

The Honolulu Academy of Arts, the Lowe Art Museum (Coral Gables, Florida.) and Museo Regionale Agostino Pepoli (Trapani, Italy) are among the public collections holding paintings by Leonardo Coccorante.
