Giacomo del Pó (1654-1726) was an Italian painter of the Baroque. He was born in Palermo (other sources say Rome or Naples), the son of Pietro del Po[1]. He first trained under his father, but afterwards by Nicolas Poussin. He was chiefly occupied in decorating the mansions of the Neapolitan nobility with emblematical and allegorical subjects. Rome possesses only two of his pictures, one in the church of Sant'Angelo in Pescheria, and the other in Santa Marta. He painted frescoes in the gallery of the Marquis of Genzano, and particularly in the palace of the Prince of Avellino at Naples. He died in Naples in 1726.
