From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Andrea dell'Asta (c. 1673-1721) was an Italian painter of the late-baroque period. Born in Bagnoli (once just outside Naples) and died in Naples. He trained with Francesco Solimena, and worked for a time in Rome. His name has myriad spellings, the painter himself used Aste but other have used d'Asti, D'Asti, Dell'Asti, etc. Much of his work in Naples was destroyed by World War II.
