FALCONE, ANIELLO, called l'Oracolo
delle Bataglie, born in Naples in 1600, died
there in 1665. Neapolitan school, pupil of
Spagnoletto; became famous as a painter
of battle scenes, whose subjects were taken
from sacred and profane history, and from
the poets. During the insurrection of Masaniello,
he, with his pupils and partisans,
formed the Compagnia della Morte (Band
of Death), and massacred many Spaniards
in revenge for the death of a relative and
scholar killed by their soldiery. On the
death of Masaniello, Falcone fled to France
and painted in Paris until about 1656, when
he was permitted to return to Italy. In the
Naples Museum are interesting pictures by
him relating to the revolt of Masaniello, and
to the plague of 1656. Other works in the
Madrid Museum, and a Fight between Turks
and Cavalry, in the Louvre. Falcone was
the master of Salvator Rosa.—Lanzi, ii. 50;

nor in outline, and without style in
draperies; but his later pictures, especially

for S. Pietro Martire, Verona, are less de-
