| Battistello Caracciolo Liberation of St Peter ca. 1615 oil on canvas Chiesa del Monte della Misericordia, Naples |
"Battistello Caracciolo – Neapolitan painter. He was one of the greatest of Caravaggio's followers, and his powerful work was an important factor in making Naples a stronghold of the Caravaggesque style. The decisive impact that Caravaggio made on him can be seen from his Liberation of St. Peter (ca. 1615) painted for the same church (the Chiesa del Monte della Misericordia, still in situ) as the master's Seven Acts of Mercy. It shows how Caracciolo, unlike so many of the Caravaggisti, looked beyond the obvious trademarks of Caravaggio's work, aspiring to its depth of feeling as well as its mastery of dramatic light and shade. In 1614 Battistello visited Rome, and his later work is more classical in style, influenced perhaps by the Carracci."
