Italian Gothic period painter in the Republic of Florence
.
Life and career
Born in
popolo Sancte Marie Novelle and, later in life, in the popolo Sancti Laurentii
.
In 1366–68 Jacopo worked on a large chamber in the guildhall of the judges and notaries, Florence (a surviving altarpiece with Crucifixion is in the
guild
in 1384, 1387 and 1392.
Jacopo also worked regularly with the painter
National Gallery, London
, but the predella showing scenes from the life of Saint Peter has been dispersed. The two painters again collaborated in 1372–73 on the large panel of the Coronation of the Virgin commissioned by the mint of Florence, and in 1386 they received the commission for a fresco of the Annunciation for the council chamber in the Palazzo dei Priori, Volterra.
Between 1378 and 1380 Jacopo worked in the
Francesco di Marco Datini from Prato. In 1391 Jacopo painted the altar for the Church of San Lorenzo in Florence (now in the Honolulu Museum of Art
). He died in Florence, after 2 May 1398 and before 1400.
Claims for restitution
In 2020 di Cione's Madonna Nursing the Christ Child with Saints Lawrence and Margaret was the object of a settlement between the estate of Hester Diamond and heir of August Liebmann Mayer, a German Jewish art historian and curator who was killed at Auschwitz in 1944.[1]
