Andrea Vaccaro (baptized on May 8, 1604 - January 18, 1670) was an Italian painter of the Baroque period. Vaccaro was one of the most successful painters in Naples at the time, a city then under Spanish rule. Vaccaro and his workshop produced many religious works for local patrons and for export to Spanish religious orders and noble patrons. He was initially influenced by Caravaggio, particularly in his chiaroscuro and the naturalistic rendering of his figures.
