Biography:
Massimo Stanzione was born in Naples, Italy and eventually was in charge of the busiest workshop in the city. He was heavily influenced by Caravaggism, but his sophisticated and graceful style earned him the nickname The Neapolitan Guido Reni. Many of Stanzione’s works are still in churches around Naples, including his greatest work Lamentation in the Certosa di S. Martino. It is likely that Stanzione perished during the plague of 1656.
