Neapolitan painter

The most important Italian decorative artist of the second half of the 17th century. Luca Giordano was nicknamed Luca Fa Presto (Luke work quickly) because of his prodigious speed of execution and huge output.

Luca Giordano began in the circle of Ribera, but his style became much more colorful under the influence of such great decorative artists as Veronese, whose paintings Luca Giordano saw on his extensive travels. Indeed, Luca Giordano painter absorbed a host of influences and was said to be able to imitate other artists' styles with ease. his painting was varied also in subject-matter, although he was primarily a religious and mythological painter.

He worked mainly in Naples, but also extensively in Florence and Venice, and his work had great influence in Italy. In 1692 Luca Giordano was called to Spain by Charles II and stayed there for 10 years, painting in Madrid, Toledo, and the Escorial. His last work when the painter returned to Naples was the ceiling of the Treasury Chapel of S. Martino. In his personal self-confidence and courtliness, and in the open, airy compositions and light luminous colors of Luca Giordano paintings, he presages such great 18th-century artists as Tiepolo.
