Giovan Battista Ruoppolo

1629–1693

Giovan Battista Ruoppolo was a Baroque artist. 2 works are cataloged here, principally at Ashmolean Museum. Giovan Battista Ruoppolo was born in Naples.

Giovan Battista Ruoppolo (1629 – 17 January 1693) was a Neapolitan painter of still-lifes. Ruoppolo was an important figure in Neapolitan still life painting in the second half of the 17th century, with numerous followers, and his pictures were collected by the aristocracy and wealthy merchant classes. In the past, confusion has arisen between Ruoppolo’s work and that attributed to the older artist Giovanni Battista Recco, because of their identical initials G.B.R.
