	Luca Giordano - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Luca Giordano (1634 - January 12, 1705) was an eclectic, peripatetic, and successful Italian late Baroque painter.
		Giordano was popular at the Spanish court, and the king granted him title as a "caballero".
		Giordano had an astonishing readiness and facility, in spite of the general commonness and superficiality of his works.

	Luca Giordano Paintings Reproduction and Biography
		Because Luca Giordano is said to have painted a large altarpiec painting in one day, it is no wonder that his output, both in oil and in fresco, was enormous.
		Luca Giordano was influenced at the beginning of his career by the paintings of José de Ribera.
		Luca Giordano's last great painting in Naples was the ceiling of the Cappella del Tesoro in S. Martino, begun on his return in 1702 and completed in April 1704.

	Luca Giordano - Biography (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Luca Giordano was born in Naples in 1634, the son of Antonio Giordano, an undistinguished follower of Jusepe de Ribera (1591-1652).
		Giordano's openness to diverse artistic currents has long been recognized, and his ability to change his manner to fit a given subject or the desires of his patrons makes it difficult to plot a linear course for his stylistic development at this or any other moment in his life.
		In 1680-1685 Giordano was again in Florence to execute two large decorative commissions, the dome of the Corsini Chapel in the Church of the Carmine and the gallery and library frescoes in the Palazzo Medici-Riccardi.

		Giordano was instead a harbinger of a new and increasingly common breed: a worldly cosmopolite who moved in a rapidly expanding, internationally sophisticated milieu.
		Giordano's art represents a loosening of strictures, a growing sense of personal intellectual exploration, a lessening of Rome's attraction for artists and the impact of an enlarging private marketplace, alongside the established patronage system of church and state.
		Giordano was considered one of the most important decorative artists of his time, and created some of the most important frescoes and church altarpieces in Europe.

	Luca Giordano (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Giordano was very popular at the Spanish court, being a sprightly talker along with his other marvellously facile gifts, and the king created him a cavaliere.
		One anecdote of his rapidity of work is that the queen of Spain having one day made some inquiry about his wife, he at once showed Her Majesty what the lady was like by painting her portrait into the picture on which he was engaged.
		Giordano had an astonishing readiness and facility, in spite of the general commonness and superficiality of his performances.

	LACMA Luca Giordano
		Born in Naples in 1634, Giordano studied under the Spanish painter Jusepe de Ribera, who was active in Naples.
		Giordano’s ability to assimilate influences as diverse as those of Veronese, Rubens, Pietro da Cortona, and Velazquez resulted in the elaboration of a unique style.
		Unlike many other artists of his time, Giordano did not fall into oblivion after his death: his work remained admired and studied throughout the 18th and 19th centuries, and it was widely collected—particularly in the United States—in the 20th century.

	Biography
		He was nicknamed `Luca Fa Presto' (Luke work quickly) because of his prodigious speed of execution and huge output.
		After five years back in Naples, Giordano went to Florence again where he produced one of his most important works, the gallery frescoes in the Palazzo Medici-Riccardi (1682).
		In his personal self-confidence and courtliness, and in the open, airy compositions and light luminous colors of his work, Giordano presages such great 18th-century painters as Tiepolo.

		Giordano had two nicknames: Proteus, for his ability to imitate almost any artist's style, and Luca fa presto ("Luca go quickly"), probably derived from prodding by his painter-copyist father.
		Giordano may have trained with Jusepe de Ribera, whose dark, dramatic manner deeply influenced him, but he also studied earlier art.
		From 1692 to 1702, he was Spain's court painter; Charles II said only the facile Giordano could tackle the huge ceilings of his Escorial palace.
