Capaldo Rubens, born in 1908 in Paris, soon moved with his family to Naples. He attended for a short period the evening school at the Academy of Fine Arts in Naples, but decided to leave it to support his father's work, a "maiolicaro" craftsman, who continued to carry on after his death. From the age of twelve to twenty-seven he worked as a ceramist, but his true passion remained painting, which he practiced in his spare time and even at night. Although he never earned any academic title, he maintained for many years a teaching relationship at the Institute of Fine Arts in Benevento, until 1973. Rubens, self-taught and prolific, painted diligently, dedicating his entire artistic life to the incessant pursuit of perfection, never satisfied with his own creations and almost unaware of his talent as well as of his role as a leading figure in Neapolitan art of the twentieth century. He died in Naples in 1998.
