Francesco Celebrano, royal painter to the court of King Ferdinand IV of Naples, died on this day, June 22, in 1814. He was a versatile artist, excelling in both painting and sculpture, although it is said that he preferred to think of himself as a painter. One of his most famous depictions, probably completed right at the turn of the 1800s, is of the biblical story of the meeting between Eleazar and Rebecca.
