Vitale, Filippo
(b Naples, c. 1585; d Naples, 1650). Italian painter. Little is revealed about his life and work in the early sources, yet artistic and family links with Annella (Diana) de Rosa (b 1602), Pacecco, Giovanni Dò, Aniello Falcone and Agostino Beltrano have been identified. In the early years of the 17th century his contact with the workshop of Carlo Sellitto is recorded. His first documented works form part of a cycle of canvases (after 1617; badly damaged) for the ceiling of the church of the Annunziata at Capua, to which he contributed the Nativity, the Pentecost, the Circumcision and the Annunciation.
