Paolo de Matteis

Paolo de Matteis was a distinguished Baroque painter known for his dynamic and expressive artworks. Matteis' training began with Francesco di Maria in Naples, followed by further guidance under the prominent painter Luca Giordano. His works are known for their vibrant compositions and dramatic flair, typical of the Baroque style prevalent during his time​​.

Paolo de Matteis' career was marked by significant contributions to the art world, including decorative schemes for Neapolitan churches like the vault of the chapel of San Ignatius in the church of Gesù Nuovo in Naples. His Assumption of the Virgin for the Abbey at Monte Cassino is another testament to his skill. Between 1723 and 1725, he spent time in Rome, receiving commissions from Pope Innocent XIII, further solidifying his reputation as a master painter​​.

Paolo de Matteis' influence extended beyond Italy. From 1702 to 1705, he worked in Paris, Calabria, and Genoa, showcasing his artistry to a broader European audience. In Genoa, one of his notable works was an Immaculate Conception with St. Jerome Appearing to St. Sevrio. His time in Paris was particularly significant, as it allowed him to infuse his Italian Baroque style with broader European influences​​​​.

Paolo de Matteis was not only a masterful painter but also a teacher. He nurtured the talents of several pupils, including Filippo Falciatore, Francesco Peresi, and members of the Sarnelli family. His legacy is carried forward through these artists, who were deeply influenced by his style and techniques​​.

For collectors and experts in art and antiques, Paolo de Matteis' works offer a captivating glimpse into the Baroque era, characterized by expressive brushwork, vivid color palettes, and dynamic compositions. His paintings remain a valuable part of the rich tapestry of Italian Baroque art.
