Italian Baroque Era Painter, ca.1563-1639 Although he was eight years older than Caravaggio, he is nevertheless regarded as a Caravaggesque artist, so deeply was his mature style affected by his knowledge of the younger painter's art. His response to Caravaggio was intensely poetic, and none of Caravaggio's many gifted followers produced more beautiful pictures.   Related Paintings of GENTILESCHI, Orazio :. | Madonna dg | David Contemplating the Head of Goliath fh | The Vision of St Francesca Romana sdg | Lute Player eryy | Joseph and Potiphar's Wife (detail) dsg |
