Tommaso de Vigilia

Tommaso de Vigilia (active 1480-1497) was an Italian painter of the Renaissance period.

He was mainly active in Palermo. His earliest existing work is a triptych once belonging to the Duke of Verdura at Palermo, representing a "Virgin and Child with four Saints," dated 1486; and his latest a "St. Nicholas enthroned in a glory of Angels" (1489) for the church of San Niccolo, Palermo. The ceiling of the church of the Santissima Annunziata, in the same city, is decorated with a series of sixteen scenes from the life of the Virgin, on canvas, by Tommaso. Other churches in Palermo possess paintings by him.
