Antonello da Messina (Messina 1430 - 1479)
Antonello da Messina was trained in Naples, the Italian city where the influence of Flemish painting was greatest. He later worked in Sicily and mainland Italy. In 1475, he travelled to Venice. Although he painted this work after returning to Messina –the city visible in the background– it would have been inconceivable without the Venetian painter Giovanni Bellini, whose versions of the Pietà provided Antonello with a compositional (Christ in the foreground) and iconographic (the inclusion of angels) reference point. Antonello’s highly virtuosic work combines meticulous brushstrokes of Nordic origin –perceptible in the landscape and Christ’s hair– with excellent treatment of the anatomy and care towards the volume and perspective which are clearly southern in origin.
