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
