Still Life with Grapes and Other Fruits by Luca Forte, Getty Center, 1630s

Born in Naples. Little documentary evidence exists about him. He was a witness to the marriage of Aniello Falcone in 1639, and collaborated on a project with Falcone. He specialized in still lifes, often rich in fruits, as opposed to flowers. Among other contemporary still-life painters active in Naples of his day were Paolo Porpora, Giovanni Battista Ruoppolo, and Pietro Paolo Bonzi.
