Gentilicio de Játiva (Xativa in Valencian), in Latin Saetabis, Levantine city of Valencia. A universal Setabense was the Baroque painter I have always admired, José de Ribera. The spagnoletto was called by the Italians for his low stature, a follower of Caravaggio's darkness and Van Dick's luminosity. He developed his art in 17th-century Naples.
