Returns to Naples from Florence
Returns to Naples, though he continues to work often for Florentine clients. His religious works of the mid-1680s, for Santa Maria in Campitelli in Rome (1685) and “Virgin of the Rosary” (1686, Capodimonte), show the influence of Cortona and Bernini in their illusionism, theatrical lighting, figure types and drapery.
