(b. ca. 1478, Villafranca di Verona, d. 1537)

Details

Italian painter, engraver, goldsmith and medalist. Probably born in Villafranca, near Verona, he was a son of Antonio di Bartolomeo. He received a substantial inheritance from his uncle in 1518 but continued to work in the arts and live in Verona. His earliest dated medal is of 1519, but he appears to have produced medals between 1511 and 1530. He signed thirteen medals and a further two medals are attributed to him. Although these latter two portray Emperor Charles V and François I, King of France, Pomedelli is not believed to have traveled outside Italy, so that the portraits must have been derived from secondary sources. //
