Literature
Felice Piccione was an Italian artist brought to
Belfast by publisher Marcus Ward. He did portraits
in chalk and in oil and had a good practice in Belfast
and the north of Ireland. In 1834 he exhibited a
“Portrait of Professor Bertinchamp” in the Royal
Hibernian Academy. He afterwards settled in Cork
where he did caricatures, including “Bothered Dan
and Foxy Norry,” two well-known mendicants,
which was reproduced in the Journal of the Cork
Archaeological Society in 1892 when it was in the
possession of Mr. Edwin F. Hunt. A “Family Group” by
him was in the Cork Art Union Exhibition. Two small
portraits in chalk, signed and dated 1840, belong
to Bishop Stack at Knockballymore, and a portrait
in black and white chalks, dated 1839, of “James
Moore, M.D.,” belongs to Mr. F. A. C. Mills, Cliftonville,
Belfast.
