Giovanni Dalmata [Giovanni di Traù; Ioannes Stephani Duknovich de Tragurio; Ivan Duknovic]
(b in or nr Traù, Dalmatia [now Trogir, Croatia], c. 1440; d after 1509). Dalmatian sculptor, active in Italy and Hungary. He probably trained as a mason in a local workshop near Trogir. He moved to Rome in the 1460s, by which time his style was fully developed. Initially he may have worked with Paolo Romano. His earliest works include the side portal of the Palazzo Venezia, Rome, built for Cardinal Pietro Barbo (later Pope Paul II), and the lunette and other sculptures on the façade of the tempietto at Vicovaro. In 1469 he carved the Annunciation and statues of St John the Baptist and St John the Evangelist on the altar of the Madonna della Palla in S Giovanni at Norcia (Umbria).
