Corrado Giaquinto is the most renown and important artist of the 700s. He was born in Molfetta in 1703 and educated between Molfetta and Naples before moving to Rome (Quirinal, “Venus appears to Aeneas”). From the capital, he went to Turin following Filippo Juvarra, the architect of the Savoys with whom he worked in the Villa of the Queen. After he returned to Rome, Giaquinto handled commissions for Charles III of Spain and then became a painter for the royalty of Madrid. In Molfetta, his works are preserved in the Cattedrale di Santa Maria Assunta[Cathedral of St. Mary of the Assumption], in the Chiesa di Santo Stefano[Church of St. Stephen], in the Chiesa di San Domenico[Church of St. Dominic] and inside the Museo Diocesano[Diocesan Museum].
