Jacobello del Fiore
( fl Venice, 1400; d 1439). Italian painter. Together with Niccolò di Pietro and Zanino di Pietro, he was one of the most important Venetian painters of the first third of the 15th century. His work marks the transition from a local, retardataire style based on the example of Paolo Veneziano and his school to a fully developed Late Gothic style of remarkable decorative complexity. However, to a greater degree than his two contemporaries, Jacobello’s work remained tied to Venetian precedent, and it has been undervalued. He was the most refined Venetian painter of his generation and a narrator of exceptional skill who influenced such artists as Michele Giambono and, to a lesser degree, Antonio Vivarini.
