Angelo Martinetti (1830 in Rome – ?) was an Italian painter, mainly of still-lives depicting game.
He was the brother of the controversial antiquarian and numismatist, Francesco Martinetti (1833–1895).[1] Sometime around the year 1870, Angelo donated to the Louvre Museum a club quite similar to the one depicted in the Farnese Hercules statue. This donation was undertaken through the mediation of Count Konstanty Tyszkiewicz of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.[2] He exhibited paintings of game in many exhibitions, including at Turin in 1880 and at Rome in 1883.[3][4] In 1882, the art gallery on Duke Street, St James's received some still life paintings from Angelo, which they said were "full of vivid color and imitative quality".[5]
