Filippo Randazzo
Filippo Randazzo called il Monocolo di Nicosia (* 1692 in Nicosia , † 1744 in Palermo ) was an Italian painter of classicism in Sicily .
Life
Because he was blind in one eye, he was nicknamed "Monocolo di Nicosia". Even as a child he showed a love for art. He received his first training from a local painter before, thanks to the patronage of Baron La Motta St. Agrippina from Messina, he was sent to Rome to the painting school "Academia del Nudo" of Sebastiano Conca , the main exponent of the classicist late baroque . This school saw itself as a counter-movement to the Rococo , which many felt as frivolous. Here he made a lot of advances that made him highly regarded. Back in his hometown and then in Palermo he developed a rich work. In the Chiesa del Gesò , for example, he created portraits for the dome and the nave. He worked occasionally with Francesco Ferrigno , Gaspare Serenario , Olivio Sozzi and his son Mariano Randazzo.
