Luca Forte
Still Life with Grapes and Other Fruits by Luca Forte, Getty Center, 1630s
Luca Forte (c. 1615—c. 1670) was an Italian painter of the Baroque period, active mainly as a still-life painter in Naples.
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.
