This volume represents a long overdue reassessment of the
Neapolitan painter Paolo de Matteis, an artist largely overlooked
in English language scholarly publications, but one who merits our
attention for the quality of his work and the originality of its
iconography, as well as for his remarkable ability to respond
creatively to his patrons' aesthetic ideals and agendas. Following
a meticulous examination of the ways in which posterity's
impression of de Matteis has been conditioned by a biased
biographical and literary tradition, Livio Pestilli devotes rich,
detailed analyses to the artist's most significant paintings and
drawings. More than just a novel approach to de Matteis and the
Neapolitan Baroque, however, the book makes a significant
contribution to the study and understanding of early
eighteenth-century European art and cultural history in general,
not only in Naples but in other major European centers, including
Paris, Vienna, Genoa, and Rome.
