Antonello was the main early Renaissance painter of southern Italy. He was important in bringing oil painting to Italy according to Vasari; modern scholarship disputes this.He was probably trained in Naples, which had strong links with the Netherlands. Works in oil by Van Eyck and van der Weyden are recorded there from an early date.

Encyclopedic overview
Antonello da Messina ( Italian pronunciation: [antoˈnɛllo da (m)mesˈsiːna]; c. 1425–1430 – February 1479), properly Antonello di Giovanni di Antonio, but also called Antonello degli Antoni and Anglicized as Anthony of Messina, was an Italian painter from Messina, active during the Italian Early Renaissance.
His work shows strong influences from Early Netherlandish painting, although there is no documentary evidence that he ever travelled beyond Italy. Giorgio Vasari credited him with the introduction of oil painting into Italy, although this is now regarded as wrong. Unusually for a southern Italian artist of the Renaissance, his work proved influential on painters in northern Italy, especially in Venice.
