Bernardo de' Dominici (1683–1759) was an Italian art historian and painter of the late-Baroque period, active mainly in Naples, painting landscapes, marine vedute, and genre scenes such as characteristic of Bamboccianti. He was the pupil of the painter Mattia Preti, reportedly under the German painter of forested landscapes, Franz Joachim Beich.

It recounts the careers of artists from the "School of Naples, among these:
