IACOBELLO del FIORE. – Painter. He is documented from 1400 onward; d. in 1439. In his youthful paintings (the antependium of S. Ubaldo in Pesaro, a polyptych in Teramo, the Coronation of the Virgin of 1407 in New York) he is still linked to the Byzantine-influenced style of Paolo Veneziano, but he would increasingly be drawn to the International Gothic movement (of which, together with Giambono, he is the most typical representative in Venetian painting), especially through the work of Gentile da Fabriano, active in Venice from 1408.
The Stories of S. Lucia in Fermo and a polyptych in Stockholm date from an intermediate period, around 1410. In his later works, especially the Justice between Two Archangels, of 1421, in the Accademia in Venice, his style is mannered and heavy. From 1436 is the elaborate Coronation of the Virgin, formerly in Ceneda (Venice, Galleria). Other certain works include the Lion in the Palazzo Ducale, of 1415, a Madonna in the Museo Correr, and a triptych dated 1436 in Chioggia.
