Walther Jervolino (1 March 1944 – 12 July 2012) was an Italian painter and artist, mainly known for his Surrealist works. Walther Jervolino was born in 1944 in Bondeno, Italy, a small village near Ferrara. His name was an hommage to the German doctor that saved his mother's life during the birth. He studied art under Italian realist painters Mario Calandri and Giacomo Soffiantino, favoring oil painting as well as the engraving techniques.

He began his professional career in the late 1960s in Paris, London and in Milan, where he lived for several years. He later perfected his technique in the Roman studio of Riccardo Tommasi Ferroni, one of the major Italian artists. Jervolino subsequently increased his connections with countries throughout Europe, and also lived for long periods in the United States, where he exhibited his works at the Art Expo in New York City, Miami and Los Angeles.
