Aniello Ascione

[1] The Italian art historian and painter Bernardo de' Dominici stated that Aniello Ascione was very successful and that his works were in the collections of the lords and private individuals.

[3] Abraham Brueghel is especially known for his still life paintings of southern fruits and flowers, which were typically assembled in front of a landscape.

[5] Brueghel's style was characterised by its chiaroscuro, muted colors, and strong plastic forms as well as an ability to render textures realistically and create illusionistic effects confidently.

Some of his works reach a very high level, through their warm chromatic intonation and successful decorative effect.

The identification of his oeuvre is based on the two large canvases kept at the Castello Ursino in Catania, the Still life with fruit, flowers, sculpted vase, fountain and architecture in the Museo di Capodimonte, Naples and a series of the Four Seasons in the Museum Correale in Sorrento.
