Jacobello Alberegno

Italian painter. Only one known document, dated July 1397, mentions Alberegno, referring to him as deceased, and we have a single signed work, the tempera on panel triptych with gold background depicting the Crucifixion in the middle and St Gregory and St Jerome in the side panels (Gallerie dell'Accademia, Venice). Although he was faithful to the Byzantine culture made popular by Paolo Veneziano, Alberegno introduced to Venice, through Giusto de' Menabuoi, the new contribution of Giotto (Polyptych of the Apocalypse, Gallerie dell'Accademia, Venice).
