Simone Papa the Younger
For other people named Simone Papa, see Simone Papa the Elder.
Simone Papa the Younger (about 1506-1567) was a Neapolitan fresco painter from Italy. Considered one of the best mannerists of this time,[1] he was a scholar of Giovanni Antonio Amato. He is remembered for retaining an agreeable simplicity, and for distinguishing himself by correctness of form.[2] Some of his works are in the church of Monte Oliveto,[3] and in the choir of Santa Maria La Nova.
