The pictures used are:
Chapter 1: a paining of The violinist Niccolò Paganini by Georg Friedrich Kersting. Gaetano Pisani is a fictional character, but Niccolò Paganini seems to have about the right look to serve as a stand-in. Paganini is early 19th century instead of late, but close enough.
Chapter 2: Teatro San Carlo - View of stage from Royal Box by Viva-Verdi, used here under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported license (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/deed.en).
Chapter 3: Napoli, the Piazza Vittoria e Riviera di Chiaia
Chapter 4: "The Poet" by Giuseppe Bonito. It was painted in 1742, so a few decades too early for our purposes, but it was irritatingly difficult to find a picture for this chapter at all. Meant to represent Count Cetoxa and his associates.
Chapter 5: "Two old men disputing" by Rembrandt (1628). In this case, Zanoni and his associate.
Chapter 6: "Un petit souper, a la Parisienne; - or - a family of sans-culotts refreshing, after the fatigues of the day" by James Gillray, published by Hannah Humphrey, hand-coloured etching, published 20 September 1792
Chapter 7: Théodore Géricault on His Deathbed (1824) by Charles Emile Callande de Champmartin. Sure, the old man in this chapter didn't actually die, but he almost did, and his would-be assassin mistook him for dead, so...
Chapter 8: "Conversation Piece: Three Men in Eighteenth-Century Costume" (1890) by Carl Wilhelm Anton Seiler, at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.
Chapter 9: "Death of a musician" (1859) by Octave Tassaert
Chapter 10: the Angel of Grief by William Wetmore Story, which is actually from a cemetary in Rome for Protestants, so not the best fit for a Neapolitan Roman Catholic, but I still feel like it is a fitting image to capture the mood of this chapter.
