Francesco della Questa, renowned for his talent in still life painting, developed a distinctive style within the Neapolitan Baroque school. His work is characterized by intense naturalism, capturing the texture and color of flowers, fruits, and sometimes marine creatures with precision. His compositions are known for their visual harmony and balance, where each element interacts organically with the others. Della Questa transitioned from a rigorous naturalism to a more free and decorative approach typical of late Baroque, influencing not only his contemporaries but also subsequent generations of artists.
