Giovanni Battista Moroni (c. 1520-1524[1]– 5 February 1578) was an Italian painter of the Mannerism. He also is called Giambattista Moroni. Best known for his elegantly realistic portraits of the local nobility and clergy, he is considered one of the great portrait painters of the Cinquecento.

  1. ^ Rossetti (1911) placed his birth date around 1510; Freedberg states he was born c. 1523, while the Bergamo exhibition gives the range 1520-1524.
