-----------------------------------
Gabriele Paleotti (1522 – 1597) was an Italian cardinal and Archbishop of Bologna.
He was a significant figure in, and source about, the later sessions of the Council of Trent, and much later a candidate for the papacy in 1590, and is now mostly remembered for his De sacris et profanis imaginibus (1582), setting out the Counter-Reformation church's views on the proper role and content of art.
