Antonello da Messina (ca. 1430–1479)
Antonello da Messina is, in a sense, the first truly European painter and his remarkably varied achievements raise issues crucial to our understanding of European art. No other Italian artist of the fifteenth century responded in such a direct fashion not only to the leading masters of Bruges and Brussels— Jan van Eyck (d. 1441) and Petrus Christus (d. 1475/76) in particular—but also to giants of French Provençal painting such as the Master of the Aix Annunciation and Enguerrand Quarton.
