Busuttil, Salvatore
(1798–1854). Maltese painter. He was the son of the painter Michele Busuttil. He studied at the Accademia Nazionale di San Luca in Rome, where he eventually established himself as an artist. The altarpiece of St Gregory Interceding with the Virgin for the Plague-stricken (Kercem, parish church) is his most important work in Malta. It reveals his affinities with Purismo, the anti-Baroque school of whom Tommaso Minardi was a leader, and is remarkable for its painstaking execution and the serene calmness of its harmonious composition.
