Antonello da Messina notable work Saint Jermoe
Although Antonello is mentioned in many documents between 1460 and 1465, establishing his presence in Messina in those years, a gap in the sources between 1465 and 1471 suggests  that he may have spent these years on the mainland.  In 1474, he painted the Annunciation, now in Syracuse, and  the St. Jerome in His Study also dates from around this time.
