“Barocci had a real passion for the subtle gradations ranging from clearer and brighter gray until the purest white, for the more transparent color of complexion and especially for the refractions of the color tone through the poignant intensity of light. Sometimes his works remind of pastel paintings magnified” (Hermann Voss)

Great painter Dutch landscape painter who worked for the Colonna family. He had his name translated in Italian as Vanvitelli and was the father of the great architect Luigi Vanvitelli
“He was perhaps the first true 'landscape painter' of art history. Often remembered as a forerunner of Italian Giovanni Antonio Canal, called Canaletto, the Dutch painter is famous for his so-called exact views of many Italian cities and landscapes, to which Canal himself will refer to. Like Canaletto later, (...) Gaspar made extensive use of the camera obscura, a pre-photographic tool strikingly modern at that time, which allowed the artist to have before his eyes the reflection of the inverted image to paint. It was a portable cabin, completely blacked out, with a hole at the top and a mirror which, when tilted, projected inside the room, the live image, an 'exact' vision of the subject that the artist painted and modeled on” (Paolo Gallinaro - ilmediano.it)
“Magdalene” by Sebastiano Conca (1680/1764)
