Giovanni De Martino (Naples, January 13, 1870 - Naples, March 3, 1935) was an Italian sculptor active in Paris. De Martino was a classical artist, known for the production of sculptures of small bronze busts, in particular portraying the characteristic fishermen and commoners. He trained at the Academy of Fine Arts in Naples under the guidance of Stanislao Lista, Gioacchino Toma, and Achille D'Orsi. He performed small sculptural groups, exhibiting frequently at the Paris Salon where he won the prize of the Louvre Museum for the bronze work The fisher of locusts (Naples, private collection). Then in Naples, he returned to a socialist realism and produced sculptures depicting characteristic Neapolitan types, especially urchins, children and young fishermen. He took part in numerous national and international exhibitions in particular between 1900 and 1929.
