f Painters of Venice and painterof the famous Lion of St. Marc in the Ducal Palace andthe Madonna M in the Venice Academy, Jacobello del Fiorewas a man of great distinction in his day. He also has alarge picture, Coronation of the Virgin, in the sacristyof the Duomo at Ceneda. He was a pupil of his father,Francesco.

Formerly in the collection of Col. Hankey.Now in the collection of Mr. J. G. Johnson.
