Rinaldo Mantovano

According to Giorgio Vasari he was the most talented assistant of Giulio Romano during his stay in the service of the Gonzaga Marquis' of Mantua.

In this work he assisted with the Sala dei Venti, the Camera delle Aquile (1527) and the Loggia di David (1531).

During part of 1531 he is documented as collaborating with Giulio Romano in decoration of the Castello di San Giorgio of Mantua.

From 1532 to 1536 he participated in executing the frescoes in the Sala dei Giganti, where we see his somewhat flat and decorative style of painting on a large part of the ceilings and walls.

Working alone, but following his master designs, he painted the frescoes in the Boschetti chapel of San Andrea de Mantua.
