Giordano Luca

This painting is signed on the sheet that Euclid holds in his hand: "L. Jordan...". The author, influenced by Caravaggio's painters, worked in Naples and was a pupil of Ribera. After his death, he moved first to Rome and then to Venice in 1664, where he refined his style, making it more vibrant. This Venetian period is the one to which we attribute the work, probably commissioned by a local collector, as happened for the paintings kept in Berlin. The artist also worked for the Basilica of Santa Maria della Salute in Venice, for important clients in Naples, Padua and Florence. From 1692 to 1702 he was court painter of Charles II of Spain, creating splendid decorative cycles for the Cathedral of Toledo and the Palace of Buon Ritiro in Madrid.
