Antonello da Messina

Antonello da Messina (c. 1430–1479) was one of the most important painters of the Italian Renaissance, celebrated for introducing the refined techniques of oil painting—perfected in Flanders—to Italy. Born in Sicily, Antonello blended the precision and luminous detail of Northern European art with the perspective and humanism of the Italian Renaissance, creating works that are both technically brilliant and deeply expressive.

His most famous paintings include the Portrait of a Man (Il Condottiero), St. Jerome in His Study, and the Crucifixionpanels. These masterpieces demonstrate his mastery of naturalism, psychological depth, and atmospheric perspective, marking him as a key figure in the spread of oil painting across Italy. Antonello’s legacy influenced Venetian masters such as Giovanni Bellini, shaping the course of Renaissance art.
