Francesco Di Marino (Naples, 1892-1954) was an Italian painter of genre scenes, lively views, and coastal landscapes. A student of Cammarano and then Dalbono, Francesco Di Marino faithfully followed the tradition of painting en plein air, in the wake of the landscape concept established in Naples by the Posillipo school. In doing so, he connected not only with his direct teachers but also with Casciaro, Pratelle, Scoppetta, and later Galante, De Corsi, Villani, and Viti, gradually refining his own means of expression and managing to characterise his work through the immediacy of perception, the authenticity of feeling, and the security of execution. Di Marino succeeded in transferring the ephemeral aspects of nature and landscape onto the canvas with a sense of freshness and a soft yet robust touch, which was not typical of many painters.
