Abstract

Antonello da Messina’s paintings have puzzled historians and art historians, who have regarded it as a brilliant example of Renaissance art standing out in a peripheral area characterized by ideological and social stagnation. This paper will challenge this assumption and will prove that Messina, just like other Sicilian cities, was not a provincial offshoot of a Renaissance that celebrated its glory elsewhere, but a prominent cultural center.
