Name appears in 1450 5:5 in account books of house of Este, where he is called Maestro Galusso cle Matheo Calegaro, in connection with the decoration of the palace of Belriguardo. In 1455 he composed the Assumption and finished a portrait of Cardinal Bessarion in Santa Maria in Monte, Bologna. Vasari says he went to Venice and acquired there the use of oils, but it is doubt- ful if lie ever used them. Much more has been made of him than he deserves. His pictures show bad drawing, affected or spas- modic action, and skinny flesh. Examples : Trinity, Ferrara Museum ; Entombment, and Virgin with Saint and Donor, Costabili Col- lection, Ferrara.
