Domenico Gargiulo

Domenico Gargiulo called Micco Spadaro (c. 1609-1610 – c. 1675) was an Italian painter of the Baroque period, mainly active in Naples and known for his landscapes, genre scenes, and history paintings.

This earned Domenico the nickname 'Micco Spadaro' ('spadaro' means 'sword maker').

He was trained in the workshop of the battle painter Aniello Falcone, where he was a contemporary of Andrea di Leone and Salvator Rosa.

He also worked with Viviano Codazzi, to whose architectural paintings he added the figures.

He also worked in the Certosa di San Martino, where he painted in the Coro dei Conversi and Quarto del priori.
