Francesco Solimena

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.

Francesco Solimena was devoted to the religious genre, for which he was often called "Abbot Ciccio" during his lifetime. He educated many famous artists.
