Life

Filippo Paladini: Stigmata of Francis of Assisi (ca.1610).

Filippo Paladino was born near Florence. Nothing is known about his training, but his work shows the clear influence of the Lombard masters and later, he was in Florence from 1586 , of Ludovico Cigoli (1559–1613), Federico Barocci (around 1528–1612) and especially Michelangelo Merisi Caravaggio (1573–1610), whom he probably met in Palermo in 1609.

Similar to Caravaggio in Rome, Paladino had to answer for a murder attempt shortly after his arrival in Florence. After being convicted, he was sentenced to forced labor. As a galley convict, he served in Pisa and later in Malta. Regardless of this, he designed the facade of the Palazzo dell'Orologio in Pisa together with Bernardino Poccetti and Giovanni Stefano Marucelli . In Malta he painted a high altar picture for the Archbishop of St. Paul in La Valletta and the picture “Finding the Cross” for the Capuchin Church. From 1589 he worked for the Grand Master of the Johanniter Hugues de Loubenx de Verdalle to provide the main hall and a suite of rooms with frescoes in the Verdala Palace, which was built in 1586. In 1595 he returned to Tuscany for a short time , and shortly afterwards, probably again, to work in Malta or Sicily. From 1601 the first work in Sicily is documented, where he came into the service of Prince Branciforti di Mazzarino and developed a lively activity in the following years. He worked for Caltanissetta , Caltagirone , Piazza Armerina , Scicli , Mazzarino and Palermo in churches, monasteries and for private clients. One of his students in Palermo was Zoppo di Gangi . In 1611, Paladini was briefly in Malta to do painting assignments for altarpieces.
