Counting more than five thousand works, frescoes and paintings, the production of Luca Giordano (1634-1705) is immense. A virtuoso with the brush, his adaptability earned him prestigious commissions, both in Naples and Florence, but also in Spain, where he spent ten years at the court of Charles II. His work is abundantly represented in French museums—be it the Louvre, Ajaccio, Amiens, Brest, Chambéry, or Rouen—a country where he exerted a profound influence on 18th-century painters. This monograph, the first work in French on the artist, paints the portrait of an exceptional man, indifferent to codes and rules, gifted for business, and essential for understanding the artistic landscape of 17th-century Europe.
