Italian Baroque Era Painter, ca.1634-1705 ,Italian painter and draughtsman, active also in Spain. He was one of the most celebrated artists of the Neapolitan Baroque, whose vast output included altarpieces, mythological paintings and many decorative fresco cycles in both palaces and churches. He moved away from the dark manner of early 17th-century Neapolitan art as practised by Caravaggio and his followers and Jusepe de Ribera, and, drawing on the ideas of many other artists, above all the 16th-century Venetians and Pietro da Cortona, he introduced a new sense of light and glowing colour, of movement and dramatic action.   Related Paintings of GIORDANO, Luca :. | Fresken in der Galerie des Palazzo Medici-Riccardi in Florenz, Szene: Triumph der Medici in den Wolken des Olymp, Detail | Psyche's Parents Offering Sacrifice to Apollo dfj | Perseus Fighting Phineus and his Companions dfhj | Crucifixion of St. Peter fh | The Philosopher Cratetes kj |
