Description

The collaboration between Viviano Codazzi from Bergamo, a specialist in ruins who probably arrived in Naples in 1634, and the figure painter Domenico Gargiulo enjoyed a certain success, so much so that it was mentioned in the most accredited source on Neapolitan painting of the seventeenth century, such as the Lives of Bernardo De Dominici. The Valsecchi painting represents a gladiatorial combat. The spectators are arranged in two arcades, inspired by the architecture of ancient Rome, interpreted according to already baroque indications. The back building, on the other hand, is reminiscent of the Pantheon, but the most interesting aspect of the painting is the background landscape, almost a painting within a painting, linked to Poussin's Roman painting.
