GIORDANO, LUCA, called Fa-Presto, born in Naples in 1632, died there, Jan. 12, 1705. Neapolitan school; son of Antonio Giordano, a poor painter, who taught him design; studied nine years with Spagnoletto, then went to Rome and became pupil and assistant of Pietro da Cortona for three years. Visited Bologna, Parma, Venice, and other cities, making many copies of the pictures of the great masters, which his father sold. He acquired at this time the surname of Fa-Presto, because he painted with such extreme rapidity. In 1679 Luca was called to Florence by the Grand Duke, who gave him large commissions, through which he acquired a great reputation. In 1692 he was invited to Spain by Charles II., who gave him titles, honour, and wealth. Giordano painted many frescos in the Escorial, in the palace of Buen Retiro, the Cathedral of Toledo, and other churches, and numerous portraits. He returned to Italy in 1702, was splendidly received by Clement XI., and settled in his native city. Giordano was the last of the great Italian painters. Some of his works show marks of genius, and with more conscientious labour he might have equalled the greatest masters, but owing to his fatal facility of execution he violated all the rules of good taste.
