Colantonio del Fiore

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Colantonio del Fiore was an Italian painter of the early-Renaissance period, active mainly in 15th century Naples. He was the pupil of the painter Francesco Simone. In Naples, he painted the St. Jerome now in the Museo di Capodimonte , painted in tempera. Some sources claim Colantonio was Father-in-law to Antonio Solario (Lo Zingaro); some sources dismiss that even Colantonio existed. He also painted for Sant'Antonio Abate and Sant'Angelo a Nilo
