Cagnaccio di San Pietro (né Natale Bentivoglio Scarpa, 14 January 1897, Desenzano del Garda - 29 May 1946, Venice), Italian Magic Realist painter. Born in the province of Brescia, in Lombardy, he attended the Academy of Fine Art in Venice, where he studied under Ettore Tito. His early paintings were in a Futurist idiom, but by the early 1920s he had adopted a very smoothly brushed, precise and almost clinical realism. His work, which includes portraits, nudes, still lifes, genre and religious pictures, shows the influence of the German painters of the Neue Sachlichkeit. His health declined in the 1940s, and he spent the war years hospitalized in Venice, where he died at the age of only forty-nine.
