1550 - 1590. Oil on panel.
Not on display

Gian Matteo Giberti (1495-1543), Bishop of Verona, held a number of important posts in the Roman Curia, and was involved in the reform of the Catholic Church. He was a promoter of the arts, and a friend and patron of Giulio Romano. An identical version of the portrait, which may have been modelled on a medal, can be found in the Museo di Castelvecchio in Verona. India was best known for his portraits, and for his work with Andrea Palladio, who mentions him in his Quattro Libri.
