- Sebastiano Conca (c. 1680 - 1764) was an Italian painter. He was born at Gaeta, then part of the Kingdom of Naples, and apprenticed in Naples under Francesco Solimena. In 1706, along with his brother Giovanni, who acted as his assistant, he settled at Rome, where for several years he worked in chalk only, to improve his drawing. He was patronized by the Cardinal Ottoboni, who introduced him to Clement XI, who commissioned a well-received Jeremiah painted for the church of St. John Lateran. Conca was knighted by the pope. He collaborated with Carlo Maratta in the Coronation of Santa Cecilia in the namesake's church of Santa Cecilia in Trastevere (1721-24). He was elected in 1718 to the Accademia di San Luca and its director in 1729-1731 and 1739-1741. His painting was strongly influenced by the Baroque painter Luca Giordano. Among Conca's pupils were Pompeo Battoni, Andrea Casali, Placido Campoli, Corrado Giaquinto, Gaetano Lapis, Salvatore Monosilio, Literio Paladini, Drancesco Preziao, Rosalba Maria Salvioni, Gasparo Serenari, and Agostino Masucci, He received widespread official acclaim and patronage. He worked for a time for the Savoy family in Turin on the Oratory of San Filippo and Santa Teresa, in the Venaria (1721-1725), for Basilica di Superga (1726), and Royal Palace (1733). He painted frescoes of Probatica, or Pool of Siloam, in the Ospedale di Santa Maria della Scala (hospital) of Siena. In Genoa, he painted large allegorical canvases of the Palazzo Lomellini-Doria (1738-1740). In 1739, he published a guide to painting: Ammonimenti (or Admonishments), which blended moralistic advice with technique. He returned to Naples in 1752, and enjoyed the royal patronage of Charles III. His studio was prodigious and he painted frescoes for the Church of Santa Chiara (1752-1754), five canvases for the Chapel in Caserta Palace (now lost), as well as many others including for the Benedictines of Aversa (1761), a History of Saint Francis of Paola for the Sanctuary of Saint Maria di Pozzano of Castellammare di Stabia (1762-1763), and many other altarpieces. He painted till late in life. Among the works that reflect his late-Baroque style are paintings such as The Vision of Aeneas in the Elysian Fields (c. 1735/1740); the scene is crowded with mythologic and classical figures, adrift in academic quotation, and enveloped by a world of overwrought with allegory. Dancing or flying putti proliferate. The landscape is often a billowing cloud. Even in a more intimate scene such as Rinaldo & Armida, instead of depicting the focused scene between two lovers, love itself has to be allegorized as an intruding, hovering cupid. Similarly, the somber introspection of the moment recounted by Christ at the Garden of Gesthmane is afflicted with a cascade of angels. It is an mannerist Baroque, not its distilled apotheosis, but a distanced elaboration from its roots in Carracci and Cortona.

Fue uno de los más aclamados artistas de su época, y tuvo la oportunidad de realizar obras de gran envergadura, en las que combinó la grandiosidad típica del Barroco tardío y el estilo clasicista de Carlo Maratta.
- Sebastiano Conca, dit « il Cavaliere », né en 1680 à Gaète, dans le royaume de Naples, mort en 1764 à Naples, est un peintre italien de l'école florentine. Aîné de dix enfants, il est formé à l'école napolitaine de Francesco Solimena. En 1706, il part à Rome avec son frère Giovanni, qui lui sert d'assistant. Pendant plusieurs années, il travaille seulement à la craie, pour améliorer son dessin. Il est patronné par le cardinal Ottoboni, qui le présente au pape Clément XI et peint un Jérémie pour la basilique Saint-Jean de Latran. En récompense de ce travail, le pape le fait chevalier, et le cardinal lui offre une croix de diamant. En 1710, il fonde son académie, qui attire des élèves de toute l'Europe, parmi lesquels Pompeo Batoni, le sicilien Olivio Sozzi, Giuseppe Tresca et Carlo Maratta et des Tyroliens, comme le fresquiste Johann Jakob Zeiller. Sa renommée grandit rapidement, et il reçoit le patronage de la plupart des têtes couronnées d'Europe. En 1729, il entre à l'Accademia di San Luca, dont il prend la direction à deux périodes. Le fils de Conca, Tommaso, a lui aussi connu une certaine célébrité comme peintre.
