Francesco Solimena was an Italian painter of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. He is known as a representative of the Neapolitan school of late Baroque painting. The painter's creativity was highly appreciated by his contemporaries, during his long career he earned a large fortune by selling his works. The artist's biography is closely linked to Naples, the city in which the great genius spent most of his life.
