François Morel or Francesco Morelli (ca. 1768 – ca. 1840) was a French-Italian painter and engraver. He was active in Naples and known as a painter or engraver of Pompeian subjects. He was born in the Franche-Comté, and then traveled to Rome, where was a pupil of Francesco Volpato. He completed a series of engravings depicting the so-called Villa of Horace in Licenza with Hackert and Luigi Sabatelli.

A fine impression on contemporary paper, with full margins, good condition.
