Inglott, Anton
(b 1915; d 15 Aug 1945). Maltese painter. He studied in Malta at the Government School of Art and in Rome at the Regia Accademia di Belle Arti and at the Accademia Serale del Nudo in Via Margutta. The impending outbreak of hostilities with Italy forced his return to Malta in 1940. Despite his youth he quickly established himself as the leading painter on the island, where his works impressed by their deep spirituality and intense religious fervour. He was, however, already terminally ill with the diabetes from which he died, shortly after completing the huge apse painting of the Death of St Joseph (Msida, parish church), which represents an important contribution to 20th-century Maltese art.
