From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Agostino Beltrano (active in 1646, died in 1665) was an Italian painter active in the Baroque period in his native city of Naples. He was a pupil of Massimo Stanzione, the uncle of his wife. He is said to have murdered his 36 yr old wife and painter, Aniella di Beltrano (also known as Aniella di Rosa), in a fit of jealousy.
