BIOGRAPHY:
The son of pier-head painter Luca Papaluca of Naples, Italy, he emigrated to the U.S., where he was still active in the 1960s painting seascapes, mostly with historical motives. His medium was primarily oils (typically tall, square rigged ships) and he signed L. Papaluca in block print followed by a hyphen. His work is frequently confused with the father's work and tends to be of lesser value.
