 His first contact with Caravaggio must have been around the time of the Radolovich commission, dated 6 October 1606, and the contacts continued through Caravaggio's completion of the "Seven Works of Mercy" during the last months of that year and early 1607.A notable result of Caravaggio's influence is Caracciolo's "The Crucifixion of Christ", with its strong echoes of the "Crucifixion of Saint Andrew".In 1607, he painted the "Immaculate Conception" for the Santa Maria della Stella in Naples.
