Federico del Campo was a Peruvian painter active in the late 19th and early 20th century who was noted for his large scale scenes of Venice.
He studied in Spain at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Madrid, and traveled and painted in Italy and France. He settled in Venice for a time, where he became friends with Spanish painter Martin Rico, and shared with him a passion for capturing the light, texture and atmosphere of the city en plein air.
