Painter, Rinaldo Cuneo (1877-1939), was born in San Francisco on July 2, 1877. The Cuneo family was an Italian-American family of artists and musicians who lived on Telegraph Hill.
As an adult, Cuneo lived and worked in a studio in North Beach's Telegraph Hill, a location with grand views of the bay and surrounding hills. This magnificent setting has stirred hundreds of people over hundreds of years and I suspect the vistas must have inspired the artist's paintings of landscapes and murals. He became known as the "Painter of San Francisco", a wonderful expression to be bestowed on an artist.
