CONCA, SEBASTIANO (1679-1764) , Italian painter of the Florentine school, was born at
Gaeta
 , and studied at 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.; and a Jeremiah painted in the
church
  of St John Lateran was rewarded by the
pope
  with
knighthood
  and by the cardinal with a diamond
cross
 . His fame grew quickly, and he received the patronage of most of the crowned heads of Europe. He painted till near the day of his death, and left behind him an immense number of pictures, mostly of a brilliant and showy kind, which are distributed among the churches of Italy. Of these the Probatica, or Pool of Siloam, in the
