failed to attain the skill of his disciple Antonello da Messina. Domenici, who is little to be trusted, gives the above dates of his birth and death, and attributes to him a triptych, dated 1375, in S. Antonio Abate, Naples; a second picture in two parts, supposed to have formerly been dated 1436, one part in S. Lorenzo, Naples, the other in the Naples Museum; and a fresco in S. Angelo a Nilo, Naples. C. & C., however, doubt if there ever was a Colantonio, and think it possible that Summonzio may have confounded him with Antonello da Messina.—C. & C., Italy, i. 322, 334; do., N.
