Pomponio Amalteo

[2] As Pordenone became increasingly active in Venice in the 1530s, Pomponio Amalteo was allowed to emerge as an independent master.

He also became an inheritor of part of his Friulian approach, kind of an arrangement, cemented by his marriage to Pordenone’s daughter in 1534.

Five pictures representing subjects of Roman history painted by Amalteo adorn the Hall of the Notaries at Belluno.

His daughter Quintilia Amalteo had the reputation of an excellent portraitist; she married the painter Giuseppe Moretto.

[4] Girolamo, besides the works in which he aided his brother, executed small pictures, painted in fresco, and produced an altarpiece for the church of San Vito.
