Pedro Roviale (or de Rubiales etc) (c. 1511 - 1582)[1] was a Spanish painter of the Renaissance period, active in Naples, Italy from circa 1548 to 1556. It is now generally accepted that he was the same person as Francesco Ruviali who is recorded working in Rome around 1544 to 1546.[2]
There are a plethora of other names used by sources, including Roviale Spagnuolo ("Spanish Roviale") and variants, and Il Polidorino due to his attachment to the style of Polidoro da Caravaggio (d 1543).[3] According to Bernardo de' Dominici, the biographer of Neapolitan artists, he was a native of Spain, from Alburquerque, Badajoz, Extremadura,[4] but brought up in Naples.
In Naples "Maniera modernity and respectable artistic merit appear together in Naples for the first time after Vasari's important sojourn of 1544/5 in the person of a Spaniard, Pedro Roviale" according to Sydney Joseph Freedberg.[6] His principal works at Naples are a Dead Christ, with the Virgin Mary and St. John in the chapel of the Courts of Justice; and the Descent from the Cross painted for the chapel in the Castel Capuano, where he also painted panels in the ceiling. There are also a number of easel paintings, also of religious subjects.
