Jacometto Veneziano, active Venice by ca. (1472–died before 1498),
• Was an Italian painter and illuminator.
• The informations about Veneziano are mainly based on the records of the diarist and art collector Marcantonio Michiel.
• From the testimony of Michiel it can be concluded that Veneziano was mainly active as a manuscript illuminator and a painter of small-scale panels.
• A brilliant miniature painter, Jacometto was also outstanding at portraits.
• He was much influenced by the Sicilian painter Antonello da Messina.
• Jacometto’s portraits have a crystalline clarity, enhanced by the black background.
• The distinctive hairstyle—a zazzera—was fashionable in Venice in the 1480s and 90s.
