Architect and painter Ferdinando Sanfelice died in Naples on 1 April 1748. Associated with Late Baroque or Rococo Napolitano styles, the effect of his buildings came not through the juxtaposition of decorative features, but through an imaginative use of the architectural elements at his disposal.

Born into a noble family, Sanfelice began studying law, which later he abandoned to join the workshop of the Baroque painter and architect Francesco Solimena (1657 – 1747). There he gained the nickname Vaccaro.

Bernardo de Dominici (1683 – 1759) gives us the main source for Sanfelice’s life and work in his book Vite de’ pittori, scultori, ed architetti Napoletani (1745, Vol. III, pp. 639-659). De Dominici described Sanfelice as:

Of high stature, of robust and well-proportioned complexion, with white skin, black eyes and hair pulling on the blonde.

He excelled in three areas: architecture (both secular and ecclesiastical), design and the preparation of temporary displays; while he became famous for his staircases and soon one of the principal architects in Naples in the first half of the 18th century. His artistic legacy can be seen in Naples, Capodimonte, Capua, Pozzuoli, Salerno, Nola, Ottaviano and Nardò, Apulia. Sanfelice was born in Naples, 18 February 1675.

Solomon Worshiping a Pagan God Domenico Antonio Vaccaro (Italian; 1678–1745) ca. between 1695 and 1700 Oil on canvas Detroit Institute of Arts, Detroit, Michigan

And Solomon did evil in the sight of the Lord, and went not fully after the Lord, as did David his father. Then did Solomon build an high place for Chemosh, the abomination of Moab, in the hill that is before Jerusalem, and for Molech, the abomination of the children of Ammon. And likewise did he for all his strange wives, which burnt incense and sacrificed unto their gods. And the Lord was angry with Solomon, because his heart was turned from the Lord God of Israel, which had appeared unto him twice, And had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not go after other gods: but he kept not that which the Lord commanded. (1 Kings 11:7)
