Pio Joris  (1843–1922) was an Italian painter. He was born in Rome. While still very young, he attended the Isituto delle Belle Arti in Rome and he enrolled at the Accademia di San Luca, for just a year. He was attracted by the naturalistic works from the Naples school. He came into contact with Morelli and Palizzi during a trip aroud the south of Italy in 1866. In Rome, he kept company with Mariano Fortuny, whose painting, with its pleasant, captivating luministic effects, made a very strong impression on Joris. That was how he developed his own very personal artistic language, which went on to bring him remarkable commercial success on an international scale. He reached the peak of his success between the 1880s and 1890s, winning numerous public awards, like Légion d'Honneur. He died in Rome in 1922.
