Jaquerio, Giacomo
(b Turin, c. 1380; d Turin, 27 April 1453). Italian painter. He is first mentioned in 1401 in Geneva, where he painted an allegorical fresco of the punishments of hell for the Dominican convent of Plain Palais (destr.). The fresco is recorded in a 16th-century print containing an inscription that states that it was painted by Jacomo Jaquerio de Civitate Taurini. Jaquerio moved between Turin and Geneva throughout his life. By 1403 he had joined the service of Ludovico, Duke of Acaia, the ruler of Turin. That year he was paid for unknown work in the Duke’s castle (now Palazzo Madama) in that city, and in 1407 and 1408 he was recorded in the Acaia palazzo in Pinerolo.
