JACOPO DA CASENTINO, 14th century, born in Prato Vecchio, died there, aged eighty. Florentine school. Met Taddeo Gaddi while the latter was decorating a chapel in the church of Sasso della Vernia in Casentino, and followed him to Florence. He painted many frescos in that city, both as a subordinate and as a master, and was one of the founders, in 1349, of the Company of St. Luke. About 1354 he went to Arezzo, where he reconstructed the waterworks of the Fonte Guinizelli, and executed a great number of frescos. His work is weakly Giottesque and feeble in execution. Among the few extant examples of his style are a St. John Evangelist with predella in the National Gallery, London; a predella in the Uffizi, Florence; and a Dead Christ (fresco) in S. Bartolommeo, Arezzo.—C. & C., Italy, ii. 2; Vasari, ed. Mil., 669; W. & W., i. 454.

JACOPO DI SAN SEVERINO. See Lorenzo di San Severino.

JACOPO DA VALENTIA or VALENTINA, Venetian school, end of 15th and beginning of 16th century. Pupil of Bartolommeo and Luigi Vivarini, whose faces and figures he frequently reproduced. He was a second- or third-rate journeyman, devoid of feeling as a colourist, who rivalled Palmezzano and Filippo of Verona in dulness. Earliest work, a half-length Madonna, dated 1485, at Belluno. He probably became a master, beginning of the 16th century, in Serravalle, where he received frequent commissions. Two Madonnas by him (one 1508) are in the Cathedral of Ceneda, and another (1509) is in the Venice Academy.—C. & C., N. Italy, i. 73.
