Antonio Catalani (Siciliano)

Antonio Catalano, also called Catalani or il Siciliano, (1560–1630) was an Italian painter of the late-Renaissance and early-Baroque periods.

He was born in Messina, Sicily, where he probably received some training from his father Antonio Catalano the Elder, also a painter, or one of the brothers, Francesco or Giovanni Simone Comande.

Both the elder Catalano and the Comandè brothers were pupils of Diodato Guinaccia in Messina.

[1] He is thought to have studied in Rome, and strongly influenced by Federico Barocci.
