Giovanni Do
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Giovanni Do (before 1617 – ?1656) was a Spanish painter, active in Naples.
He was born in the town of Jatiba, near Valencia in Spain. By 1626 Do was in Naples, and that year he married Grazia, sister of Paceco de Rosa; the marriage contract describes him as Spanish and gives Giovanni Battista Caracciolo and fellow Spaniard Jusepe de Ribera as witnesses. His only masterpiece, and firm attribution, is his gloom-stricken tenebrist ‘’Adoration of shepherds’’ for the ‘’Chiesa della Pieta dei Turchini in Naples.
