Nel frattempo, nella vita di Luca Giordano
Tutta la vitac. 1650
Apprenticed to Jusepe de Ribera
The son of the painter Antonio Giordano becomes a pupil of Jusepe de Ribera on the recommendation of the viceroy of Naples; his early work is heavily influenced by his teacher. Like Ribera, he paints many half-length figures of philosophers.
1651–1678 · Luogo di lavoro
Naples
c. 1652
First journey to Rome
He absorbs the Baroque art of Pietro da Cortona (possibly meeting him in person; by other accounts he studied under him and copied Raphael and Michelangelo) and makes many studies in red chalk on red prepared paper after antiquities and the works of Roman High Renaissance artists.
1653
Returns to Naples
He returns from Rome to Naples. His ceaseless experiments with other styles will lead him, by the late 1650s, to an exuberantly Baroque manner that brings new light and colour to Neapolitan painting.

Rome
1658
