Aniella di Beltrano

Aniella di Beltrano or Anniella di Rosa (1613–1649) was an Italian woman painter of the Baroque period, active in Naples. She trained with Massimo Stanzione, who was a fellow pupil with her husband, Agostino Beltrano (also called Agostiniello) (1616–1665). It is said that her husband stabbed her to death in a fit of jealousy. Her recognized output of paintings is minimal. Attributed to her by Grossi were the ceiling paintings (since removed) of the ''Birth'' and ''Death of the Virgin'' for the church of Pietà dei Turchini; the portrait of ''San Biago'' in the church of the Sanità.
