Jacopo di Cione

Jacopo di Cione

c. 1340-c. 1400?

Also called Robiccia.(1) Florentine School. Active c. 1368-98. Jacopo was probably the youngest of three brothers, the other two known as Andrea Orcagna and Nardo di Cione. The brothers collaborated, and no extant painting is documented as the work of Jacopo alone. Both he and Nardo obviously followed the style of their elder brother, Andrea. References: (1) Robiccia probably has reference to the small size of Jacopo's paintings, and thus may signify what we mean by the term 'Little Master' as applied to certain seventeenth-century Dutch artists. Suida, interpreting Robiccia in a derogatory sense, probably mistook the word for Robaccia.
