Giovanni later became a court painter at the Duke of Urbino Federigo da Montefeltro and a kind of Minister of Education for his heir Guidobaldo . He created several altar paintings currently stored in the Berlin Museum, the London National Gallery , the Museum of Fine Arts of Budapest and other museums.
