This article appears in Volume V06, Page 563 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: CLI-COM
CLOVIO, GIORGIO GIULIO (1498-1578) , Italian painter, by
birth
  a Croat and by profession a priest, is said to have learned the elements of
design
  in his own country, and to have studied afterwards with intense
diligence
  at Rome under Giulio Romano, and at Verona under
Girolamo
  de' Libri. He excelled in historical pieces and portraits,
painting
  as for microscopical examination, and yet contriving to handle his subjects with
great
  force and precision. His book of twenty-six pictures representing the procession of Corpus Domini, in Rome, was the
work
  of nine years; and the covers were executed by Benvenuto Cellini. The British Museum has his twelve miniatures of the victories of the emperor Charles V. In the Vatican library is preserved a
manuscript
 
life
  of Frederick, duke of Urbino, superbly illustrated by Clovio,who is facile princess among Italian miniaturists. He was called Macedo, or Macedone, to connect him with his supposed Macedonian ancestry.
