BARBARI (Barbaris), JACOPO DE', born in Venice between 1440 and 1450, died before 1516. Venetian school. Probably identical with Jacomo Barberino Veneziano, who is said to have gone to Germany and to Burgundy and there adopted the art of those countries. Ephrussi thinks that Jacopo went to Nuremberg before 1494, and learned the technics of engraving there from Wohlgemuth. He was formerly known only as an engraver, and called the Master of the Caduceus from the mark which he used upon his plates. He was the colleague of Mabuse in the service of John of Burgundy, Bishop of Utrecht, and excelled as a painter and engraver. Supposed also by some to have been identical with Jacometto of Venice and with Jacob Walch, alluded to in Dürer's correspondence as an artist who had given him valuable hints in his youth. His signature is on a panel of 1504 in the Augsburg Gallery, and on a head of Christ in the Weimar Museum.
