Filippo Randazzo

Filippo Randazzo called 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 ". Thanks to the patronage of Baron La Motta St. Agrippina from Messina to Rome he went to an art school " Academia del Nudo " by Sebastiano Conca, the main representative of the classical late Baroque. This school saw itself as a counter- movement to the Rococo, which was perceived by many as frivolous. Back in Italy unfolded in his hometown and then in Palermo he was a rich output. In occasional community he worked with Francesco Ferrigno, Gaspare Serenario, Olivio Sozzi and his son Mariano Randazzo.
