Italian word

pittore

painter (artist)

Looks like

picture

a photograph or image

⚠️ The trap

'Pittore' means painter (the person), not 'picture' (the image). The Italian for a painting/picture is 'quadro' or 'dipinto'. A photo is 'foto'. The English word 'picture' has no single Italian equivalent.

To say "a photograph or image" in Italian:

foto / immagine (for a picture/photo)

"pittore" in English means:

painter (artist)

Example

"Caravaggio era un pittore rivoluzionario."

"Caravaggio was a revolutionary painter."
