Bartolomeo Pinelli (Rome, November 20, 1781 – Rome, April 1, 1835) was an Italian engraver, painter and ceramicist. An extremely prolific graphic artist, it has recently been estimated that he produced around four thousand engravings and ten thousand drawings. In his prints he illustrated the customs of the Italian peoples, the great masterpieces of literature: Virgil, Dante, Tasso, Ariosto, Cervantes, Manzoni, and subjects of Roman, Greek, Napoleonic history, etc. The most recurring theme in general is Rome, its inhabitants, its monuments, the ancient city and the one contemporary to him. He had among his students the well-known Gorizia portrait painter Giuseppe Tominz. His work as an illustrator possesses, in addition to its intrinsic artistic value, a significant documentary meaning for the ethnography of Rome, Italy and Switzerland.
