Biography

He was a pupil of Liberale da Verona. One source attributes the influence of Andrea Mantegna. He painted mainly sacred subjects for local churches. He painted two canvases for a chapel in San Bernardino. He painted frescoes for the church of Santa Maria in Organo and in a chapel in San Bernardino. His brother, Paolo Giolfino, painted in a similar style.[1] Another of his pupils was Paolo Farinato.

gollark: ... no, it's shown that *in our physical models*, this is the case, and I think in some cases they just start from that as an assumption.
gollark: It *cannot be proven* that this holds in all situations ever, because this is a statement about reality and not our models.
gollark: As far as anyone knows, yes.
gollark: Current physical theories say it can't. They seem to be right about this so far, but the models *do not create reality*, it goes the other way round.
