In his lifetime he was among the most famous painters, known for his flamboyant personality, and regarded as an accomplished poet, satirist, actor, musician, and printmaker, as well. He was active in Naples, Rome, and Florence, where on occasion he was compelled to move between cities, as his caustic satire earned him enemies in the artistic and intellectual circles of the day. As a history painter, he often selected obscure and esoteric subjects from the bible, mythology, and the lives of philosophers, that were seldom addressed by other artist. He also produced battle scenes, allegories, scenes of witchcraft, and many self portraits. However, he is most highly regarded for his very original landscapes, depicting "sublime" nature: often wild and hostile, at times rendering the people that populated them as marginal in the greater realm of nature. Some critics have noted that his technical skills and craftsmanship as a painter were not always equal to his truly innovative and original visions. However, this is in part due to a large number of canvas he hastily produced in his youth (1630s) in pursuit of financial gain, paintings that Rosa himself came to loath and distance himself from in his later years, as well as posthumously miss-attributed paintings
