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 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.
