Nicolino Calyo

1798 — 1883

Italian painter (1799-1884)

Nicolino Calyo was an Italian-American painter best known for his paintings of the Great Fire of New York and other scenes in New York City. Born in the Kingdom of Naples in 1799, Calyo began studying art there before leaving in 1821 after taking part in a failed political uprising against King Ferdinand IV. He then traveled across Europe, continuing to study and produce art. After settling in Spain, Calyo was forced to migrate to the United States following the outbreak of the First Carlist War. He first landed in Baltimore before settling permanently in New York.
