Giacinto Platania (Acireale, circa 1612 - 1691) was an Italian painter ==Biography== He first trained with his father Antonio, who in 1630 painted a ''Guardian Angel'' for the Cathedral of Acireale. Platania left record of the 1669 lava eruption of Mount Etna, depicting the event in frescoes in the sacristy of the Cathedral of Catania, that unfortunately suffered damage and poor restorations. They document efforts he helped plan that were only partially effective in attempting to steer the lava away from the town. Among his works, in Acireale, are ''Transit of St Joseph'' for the church of the same name; a ''St Simon Stock'' for the Carmine; a ''San Antonio Abate'' in the rebuilt church of SS. Pietro e Paolo, a ''St. Anthony of Padua'' and a ''Portrait of Mons. Branciforte'' in the Cathedral, an ''Enthroned Madonna'' at the church of the Cappuccini (signed: ''Hyacintus Patania pingebat 1661''), a ''San Biagio e San Martino papa'' in the church of S. Biagio, a ''Saint Venera and Saint Agatha'' in the church of the Indirizzo, ''San Cirino e San Crispino'' in Santa Maria degli Agonizzanti, a ''San Mauro'' in the church of Acicastello, (signed: ''Hyacintus Platania pin. 1681''); and a ''Last Supper'', once in the refectory of the Cappuccini, and now in the Galleria Zelantea. Among his pupils are Baldassare Grasso and Giovanni Lo Coco.〔( Galleria Zelantea ), notes on arts in Acireale.〕〔(Biography ) of Platania.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Giacinto Platania」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
