Jose de Ribera: A collection of 216 paintings (HD)

Description: "The oldest of the great painters of the Spanish Baroque, Jusepe de Ribera almost doesn't even qualify as a Spanish artist, given that he spent the majority of his life and his entire career in Italy. Nonetheless, the artist was fiercely proud of his Spanish roots, and furthermore lived in Naples, which during the 17th century was a Spanish territory.

The artist thus had strong connections with his homeland and exerted an enormous influence on Baroque art, both in Spain as well as in the rest of Europe.

Ribera was lucky to be working in Naples. After becoming part of the Spanish empire in 1501 (the city would remain under Spanish rule for two centuries), the city's population tripled in size, making it Europe's second largest urban center after Paris.

During the 17th century, Naples was a hotbed of intellectual and artistic activity, home to the century's greatest artists, philosophers, writers and musicians, at least until the great plague of 1565 wiped out half the city's population. By living and working in Naples, Ribera was guaranteed to be surrounded by cutting-edge art and wealthy patrons."
