Italian Baroque Era Painter, 1585-1656 Italian painter. Primarily a painter of altarpieces and frescoes, his large production and vast following of students and imitators made him perhaps the leading Neapolitan painter in the first half of the 17th century. He was known as the great rival of Jusepe de Ribera, and for most of the 1630s and 1640s he and Ribera dominated painting in Naples. Stanzione's rich colour and idealized naturalism, for which he was called 'il Guido Reni napoletano', definitively influenced numerous local artists and remained discernible in the earliest works (1670s) of Francesco Solimena. Only a few portraits and mythological paintings by Stanzione are known,   Related Paintings of STANZIONE, Massimo :. | Portrait of Grand Duchess Maria Fiodorovna | Portrait of the Family of Charles IV | Sibylla Palmifera (mk28) | Portrait de Juan de Pareja (df02) | Pendentives depicting Saint Thomas,Saint Bernard,and Saint John |
