Quercia, Jacopo della

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.

Quercia, Jacopo della (c. 1374–1438)

Sienese sculptor. He was a contemporary of Donatello and Ghiberti. His major works were a fountain for his hometown of Siena, the Fonte Gaia 1414–19 (Palazzo Pubblico, Siena), and the main portal at San Petronio, Bologna, 1425–38.

His turbulent style and powerful figures influenced Michelangelo, whose painting The Creation of Adam (1511, Sistine Chapel, Vatican) was inspired by Jacopo's relief panel of the same subject at San Petronio.
