Jacobello del Fiore (c. 1370–1439)

Italian painter. The son of Francesco del Fiore, Jacobello was a pupil of Gentile da Fabriano and adopted a similar style when he began painting in 1394. His earliest surviving work is the Madonna della Misericordia (1407). Other works include the Lion of St Mark (1415) (Palazzo Ducale, Venice) and the Coronation of the Virgin (1438), a copy of the well-known painting by Gauriento. He was president of the guild of painters in Venice (1415–36).
