    Naples — Gallerie d’Italia

    May 2, 2024 in Italy ⋅ ☁️ 63 °F

    There’s amazing artwork in Naples. Caravaggio lived and worked here for a while having fled Venice when he killed a man in a duel. One masterpiece is usually on display at Le Gallerie but it was on loan to London. They did trade for a couple of masterpieces by Velasquez who also painted for a short time in Naples. They believe while he was living in the city he was spying for the Spanish king. If you watched the Spanish series “El Ministerio del Tiempo” you would know that that would be such a Velasquez move.Read more
