FIORE, COLANTONIO DEL. See Colantonio del Fiore.


FIORE (Flore), JACOBELLO DEL, flourished 1400-1439. Venetian school. Son of Francesco del Fiore, president in 1376 of the guild of painters in Venice, a position held also by Jacobello 1415-36. Painted in the method of the earlier Venetians; work marked by incorrectness of drawing, harshness of colour, and tawdriness of ornament and of drapery. His Lion of St. Mark (1415) in the Ducal Palace, Venice, his Madonna (1436) in the Venice Academy, and a large picture in the Sacristy of the Duomo at Ceneda, are fair specimens of his manner.—C. & C., N. Italy, i. 2; Burckhardt, 588; Lermolieff, 395.


FIORENZO DI LORENZO, born at Perugia about 1440-50, died after 1521. Umbrian school, probably a pupil of Benedetto Bonfigli. In 1472 he contracted to paint an Assumption of the Virgin, the principal parts of which are now in the Perugia Academy. Though the figures are of common type and the action is broken and exaggerated, the drawing is good and the execution careful. The influence of Perugino upon Fiorenzo shows itself in a fresco (1475) of the Eternal in a circular glory between Saints, in S. Francesco of Diruta, one of the most important wall-paintings recovered in our day. There are other pictures by him in the Perugia Academy; a Madonna on a gold ground, dated 1481, Berlin Museum; Madonna, S. Giacomo, Assisi; Altarpiece (1485), S. Francesco, Terni; Head of Christ and Saints, Madrid Museum.—C. & C., Italy, iii. 151; Vasari, ed. Le Mon., vi. 30, 56; Ch.
