Gabrielle Ricciardelli (Naples, flourished c. 1743- c. 1777 or 1782), was an Italian painter of the Baroque period. He was active in Naples in the court of Charles of Bourbon, employed at Portici and he provided them with several over-doors ('sopraporte') pictures for Naples' Palazzo Reale. He specialized in seascapes, and landscapes (vedute). He was influenced or trained by the painters Nicola Bonito and Jan Frans van Bloemen, (also known as Orizzonte). One institution described his work thus: ''His Irish scenes being distinguished by his excellently accurate portrayal of architectural features''.〔Drogheda Municipal Art Collection〕 An auction cataloguer described him thus: ''Ricciardelli was exceptional among the Neapolitan view painters in that he spent part of his career in Ireland (Dublin 1753-1759) and England (1777). His four vedute of Naples, engraved by Antonio Cardon in 1765, found great success with the English nobility''.〔information from Christie's ''Old Master Picture Sale'', SALE 5965, 5 December 2012, London, King Street, lot 253.〕 When in Dublin, c. 1753, his patrons included Ralph Howard, 2nd Viscount Wicklow, four of his views of Naples were in the Shelton Abbey sale of 1950; Thomas Dawson, Lord Dartrey; and Dublin's Rotunda Hospital, for which an unfinished commission.〔Drogheda Municipal Art Collection〕 The dating of the Drogheda pair is based on the inclusion of St. Peter's Church of Ireland, which was rebuilt to an handsome Palladian design from 1748 and re-consecrated, on 22 September 1752.〔http://stpetersdrogheda.ie/history/〕 ==Gallery== File:Gabriele Ricciardelli View of Drogheda from Ballsgrove c 1750 -1755.jpg|''View of Drogheda, from Ballsgrove'', oil-on-canvas, 28 x 60 inches.
