Dans la vie de Francesco Solimena
La vie entière1690s–1730s
His studio dominates Neapolitan painting
From the 1690s through the first four decades of the 18th century his studio dominates Neapolitan painting, becoming a virtual academy at the heart of the city’s cultural life. Among its pupils are Francesco De Mura, Giuseppe Bonito and Gaspare Traversi; the Scottish portraitist Allan Ramsay spends three years there.
1691–1695
Turns to the sombre manner of Preti
After 1690 he again looks for inspiration in the more sombre art of Mattia Preti; the Miracle of St. John of God for the Ospedale di Santa Maria della Pace rests on dramatic contrasts of light and dark. The same response to Preti shapes the Annunciation (Mauritshuis) and the Allegory of Louis XIV (1692, Hermitage).
1692
Luca Giordano leaves for Spain
Giordano leaves Naples for Spain, where he stays until 1702. His absence spurs Solimena to develop his primary role as a catalyst of change in painting, refining his idiom without abandoning the influence of Preti.
