Luca Forte
Italian painter
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.
