Neapolitan School. Born 1632; died 1705. His early work was most strongly influenced by Ribera. Even after trips to Rome and Venice had impressed him with other styles, particularly of Titian and Veronese, he returned at times to the serious, austere manner of Ribera. He was active chiefly in Venice but was internationally much in demand and he spent ten years in Spain near the end of his life. His numerous extant paintings in fresco and oil bear witness to his remarkable facility.
