# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Antonello di Giovanni di Antonio worked from Messina around 1425–1430 onward, painting in a style saturated with Early Netherlandish influence — the glaze, the light, the forensic detail — though no record places him outside Italy. Vasari later claimed he brought oil painting itself to the peninsula, a claim now dismissed, but the technical debt was real. What mattered more was the direction of influence: a southern Italian artist, working far from the Renaissance centers, whose manner traveled north and left marks on Venetian painters. He died in February 1479, having bent the usual geography of the Renaissance inside out.
