Vincent Malo or Vincent Malo I (Cambrai c. 1602 or 1606 – Rome, 14 April 1644) was a Flemish painter who after training and working in Antwerp was mainly active in Italy, where he was known, amongst others, as Vincenzo Malo, Vincenzo Malò and Vincenzio Malo. Vincent Malo painted genre scenes as well as religious and mythological subjects and, occasionally, portraits. Life Due to a lack of reliable sources, the details of Vincent Malo's life are not well established. In 1662 the Flemish biographer Cornelis de Bie called him the "Great master Vincent Malò" and praised him for his skill in painting large- and small-scale works, in particular of nudes. De Bie did not specify any dates for Malo. The earliest biographer naming a Vincenzio Malo is Raffaello Soprani in his 1768 publication about artists in Genoa Le vite de' pittori, scultori, ed architetti genovesi. This book is still our primary source of information on Malo. The date of birth of Vincent Malo is not known. In a document of 12 March 1637 the painter declares to be 31 years old, which would indicate he was born in 1606. The registers of the parish of San Lorenzo in Lucina in Rome record that the painter died there on 14 April 1644 at about 42 years old which suggests a birth date around 1602. De Bie mentions that Malo was a pupil of the leading Flemish Baroque painter David Teniers the Elder while Soprani states that he studied in addition with Peter Paul Rubens. The fact that certain of Malo's works show his knowledge of the drawings used in Rubens' workshop is regarded as evidence that Malo did spend time in Rubens' workshop. From his two masters he would have learned the Flemish Baroque style of painting. From 1623 to 1634 he was active in Antwerp. During this period he was a member of the Antwerp Guild of St. Luke. He married in Antwerp and had a son also named Vincent in 1629. His son would later become a painter and be known as Vincent Malo II. He moved to Genoa in Italy after 1634. He lived and collaborated with fellow Flemish painter Cornelis de Wael, who played a pivotal role in the Flemish artistic community in Genoa. Genoa was at the time an attractive destination for artists since the competition between artists there was less intense than in the leading
