安托内洛•达•梅西纳(约1430-1479)是十五世纪最具开创性和影响力的画家之一。

在15世纪，没有其他意大利艺术家对布鲁日和布鲁塞尔的大师们(包括使用他们的油画技巧)、普罗旺斯杰出的画家们，以及意大利艺术的老牌巨人，如皮耶罗•德拉•弗朗切斯卡和曼特格纳作出过如此直接的反应。通过这样做，他创造了具有和谐和几何清晰度的独特图像，但包括精美的描述性段落。虽然安东内洛主要在西西里岛工作，但他到那不勒斯和威尼斯的旅行对他的风格的发展产生了影响，他在那里又对绘画产生了巨大的影响。
Antonello da Messina (ca. 1430-1479) was one of the most groundbreaking and influential painters of the Quattrocento.

No other Italian artist of the fifteenth-

century responded in such a direct fashion to the great masters of Bruges and Brussels (including use of their oil technique), to the brilliant Provencal painters, and to the established giants of Italian art, such as Piero della Francesca and Mantegna. In so doing he created unique images with a harmonious and geometrical clarity, yet included exquisite descriptive passages. Although Antonello worked primarily in Sicily, his travels to Naples and Venice were influential to the development of his style, and where he in turn had an enormous impact on painting.
