SOLIMENA, Francesco
(b. 1657, Canale di Serino, d. 1747, Barra)

Ceiling painting

1709
Fresco
Sacristy, San Domenico Maggiore, Naples

The phase of Solimena's career, which can be characterized by "nobilità", began with the work in the sacristy of San Paolo Maggiore in Naples, and reached its culmination in the sacristy of San Domenico Maggiore. The ceiling fresco in the latter depicts The Holy Trinity, Mary, and Dominican Saints Casting down the Heretics.
