  • Giovanni Niccolò (also Giovanni Nicolao; Nola, 1560 – Macau, 16 March 1626) was a Jesuit Italian painter who in 1583 was sent to found a seminary of painting, named the , in Japan. Alessandro Valignano, one of the first Jesuit missionaries sent to Japan with Francis Xavier, who later became the first canonised Jesuit saint, appreciated that art communicated where languages often could not. In a desire to both educate and provide Christian art to new converts, Valignano wrote to Rome requesting an accomplished Christian artist who could both produce art for his mission as well as teach students. Giovanni Niccolò arrived in Japan in 1583 "and began to train students, including Watano Mâncio, Mâncio João and Pedro João. The Seminario dei Pittori, or Painting School, was officially established in Kumamoto around 1590". The Painting School's students included not only Japanese, but also Europeans and Chinese who were taught a variety of techniques ranging from oil to watercolours. Examples of its students' works were shipped to Rome as proof of its success. The school would become the largest school of Western painting in Asia. While there, Niccolò also created devotional objects for use by Japanese Catholic churches and converts. His preferred images were primarily the Salvator Mundi and Madonna. No known works remain that can be positively attributed to Giovanni Niccolò, although a tentative identification of an oil sketch of the Virgin and Child currently in an Osaka collection has been made. Although the school had to relocate several times to avoid persecution, it was eventually exiled from Japan less than three decades later when the last missionaries were expelled from Japan in 1614. Several of the school's students fled to Macau, where they contributed to St. Paul's Cathedral, while some were sent to China to assist Matteo Ricci. These included Emmanuele Pereira (1572-1630, the artist of the only picture known of Matteo Ricci painted by someone who had known and seen him) and Ni Yagu (1579-1638, who painted two large altarpieces for Saint Paul's church in Macau in 1601), who became famous in their own right.

  • Giovanni Niccolo, ook: Giovanni Nicolao, (Nola, 1560 - Macau, 16 maart 1626) was een jezuïet en Italiaanse kunstschilder die in 1583 uitgezonden werd naar Japan om daar een zogenaamd seminarie van schilders te stichten. Alessandro Valignano, samen met de later heilig verklaarde Franciscus Xaverius, een van de eerste Jezuïten missionarissen in Japan, was van mening dat kunst verbindt waar talen dat vaak niet konden. In een streven om zowel opleiding als Christelijke kunst te bieden aan nieuwe bekeerlingen, schreef Valignano naar Rome met de vraag om een volleerd Christelijke artiest die zowel kunst machtig was als beschikte over het vermogen voor zijn studenten als leraar te functioneren. Giovanni Niccolò kwam aan in Japan in 1583 en begon studenten te trainen. Onder hen waren Watano Mâncio, Mâncio João en Pedro João. Het Seminario dei Pittori, School voor Schilders, werd officieel rond 1590 in Kumamoto opgericht. Op het Semenarie voor Schilders werden leerlingen aangenomen die niet alleen afkomstig waren uit Japan, maar ook uit Europa of uit China. Aan de leerlingen werd een verscheidenheid van technieken variërend geleerd van olieverf tot aquarelleren onderwezen. Voorbeelden van werken van de studenten werden verscheept naar Rome als bewijs van het succes. De school zou uitgroeien tot de grootste school van Westerse schilderskunt in Azië. Niccolò maakte daar ook devotionele objecten voor gebruik door Japanse katholieke kerken en bekeerlingen. Zijn voorkeur lag bij de afbeeldingen van Salvator Mundi (Redder van de wereld) en de Madonna. Ondanks het feit dat de school meerdere keren verhuisde om vervolging te ontlopen, werd deze minder dan drie decennia later uiteindelijk toch, samen met de missionarissen, in 1614 verbannen uit Japan.
