Gaspare Traversi (c. 1722–1770) was a Rococo painter best known for his genre works, and active both in his native city of Naples, but also painted throughout Italy, including a stay in Parma. He was active mainly between 1732-1769. He trained under Francesco Solimena. He was a contemporary of other Solimena pupils, Giuseppe Bonito (1707-1789), also a genre painter, and Francesco de Mura (1696-1784). Traversi's paintings typically depict animated groups of protagonists that seem squeezed into a pictorial space that can barely contain them. The scene is typically a dramatic dilemma or controversy. He is a Napolitan Crespi or Longhi, working in a Caravaggist style.
