Neapolitan painting of the early seventeenth century is characterized by dramatic expression, emphatic naturalism, and intense chiaroscuro derived from the profound influence of Caravaggio (1571–1610), who spent a number of his later years in the port city. The younger Neapolitan artists were also influenced by the classicism of Guido Reni. Naples Napoli was governed for decades by wealthy Spanish viceroys and the Austrian Hapsburgs. Ribera’s naturalistic style resonated throughout the new work produced by the young Neapolitan painters such as Luca Giordano painting through an amplified sense of color and a particular sensitivity toward light Neoclassicism Romanticism.
