After a visit to Naples he went to Rome again, in 1639, and soon became famous as a painter, a musician, and a satirical poet. In 1647, on hearing of the insurrection of Mas- aniello, he hastened to Naples and joined the Compagnia della Morte, of which Falcone was the leader. On the downfall of Masa- niello he returned to Rome, where he got into trouble by a satirical picture, and there- fore accepted the invitation of the Grand Duke to visit Florence. In 1652 he returned to Rome, and spent the rest of his days there. Salvator Rosa was ambitious to excel as an historical painter, and his masterpiece is considered to be the Conspiracy of Catiline, in the Pitti, Florence ; but he was more successful in landscapes and marine views.
