To: Hebrews 11:6
I know Turchi (#28) also painted under the name "L'Orretto" and one other name.

But he did not paint (at least as far as I can find) under the name "Pedro Orrente", (re: #5).

Unless the name "Orrente" has been translated to "L'Orrento".

With the exception of the cherubim, they are remarkably similar.

What am I missing?

Did you visit the two sources, by clicking on the titles?

This is a Scripture series, not an art history. Generally, therefore, I am uninterested in laboring over artists' biographical details, leaving that entirely to knowledgeable aficionados such as you and the three others I pinged; indeed, routinely I ignore qualifiers like "from the circle of" and "from the workshop of" and simply list the artist. Instead, I am content to provide any readily available indication from the source, and if none is apparent I settle happily for anonymity without bothering to search. Were it not for the consternation among viewers that inevitably would result, I could without compunction omit all attributions entirely.

Meanwhile, adequately illustrating the text is my focus exclusively.

This lengthy response is all out of proportion to your innocuous inquiry, Sonny, but I am merely using this occasion to state my policy.
