Brief Biography-Antonello da Messina (Antonello Di Giovanni di Antonio) was from Messina in Sicily. In Naples, he studied Flemish paintings, including Jan van Eyck. When Antonello lived back in Messina from 1457 to 1474, he excelled and established a wide reputation in Italy. Antonello visited Venice in 1475, where other artists who adopted his style appreciated his Flemish influence. The Venetian state supported him during his stay. He returned to Messina a year later, where he remained for the rest of his life. |
