Stanzione, Massimo

The Oxford Dictionary of Art | 2004 | | Copyright

Stanzione, Massimo (b ?Orta di Atella, nr. Caserta, ?1585; d ?Naples, ?1656). Neapolitan painter. Like so many artists in his city at this time, he was strongly influenced by Caravaggism, but his style has a distinctive refinement and grace that has earned him the nickname ‘the Neapolitan Guido Reni’. He was head of the busiest studio in Naples, and many of his works are still in the churches of the city, his masterpiece being the eloquent Lamentation (1638) in the Certosa di S. Martino. His most important pupil was Cavallino. Stanzione probably died in the terrible plague that struck Naples in 1656.
