Collections of the Palazzo Zevallos Stigliano
The historic palace of Via Toledo hosts a series of works of exceptional value ranging from the 600s to the 900s, made especially by Neapolitan artists such as Giovanni Brancaccio and Vincenzo Migliaro, but also exponents of the School of Posillipo as Gaspar Van Wittel. Furthermore, there are also important works by Vincenzo Gemito, including drawings, terracottas and bronzes.
Caravaggio's last work
As mentioned, in the Zevallos Palace there is also the last painting by Caravaggio, The Martyrdom of St. Ursula, which presents the typical complex play of light and shadow of the painter. In the work, the martyrdom of the Saint does not follow the canons of classical iconography, but the woman is represented when Attila stabs her after receiving a refusal from her.
