Jacobello Alberegno (c1330 - 1397). Jacobello Alberegno, or Iacobello, was an Italian painter. The only certain information on his biography is his will, drawn up by his wife Zanetta, 14 July 1397. He was one of the few fourteenth-century Venetian painters who were influenced by Giotto and the Giotteschi. The only signed work, the small Triptych of the Crucifixion in the Gallerie dell'Accademia in Venice, questioned by Cavalcaselle but fully reconfirmed in 1947 by Longhi thanks to the cleaning of 1939, reveals a contrast between the central part of the Crucifixion - more narrow a Giustian derivation, and from there to the most ancient Tuscan models - and the lateral ones, with Saints Gregory and Jerome enormously elongated compared to the more human measures of the central figures and clearly inspired by the still Byzantine school of Paolo Veneziano, also in the dazzling intensity of the reds of the blues. Longhi again convincingly attributed to Alberegno also the Polyptych of the Apocalypse, also to the Academy, already in the church of the monastery of San Giovanni Evangelista in Torcello until the suppressions, then transferred to Vienna and returned after the First World War. The notable influences of Giusto de Menabuoi had also made it attributed to these, among others. In this case Jacobello pays homage to Giusto but translates the speaking of the Tuscan on a more Venetian level in the brightness of the colors and in the aulic richness of allegorical senses of the central tablet of the Vision of St. John in Patmos. His wife was Pietro Alberegno, also a painter, mentioned in the parish of Santa Lucia on 11 May 1394, the same as Jacobello's. It is not possible to establish any relationship with the patrician Alberegno family, already extinct in 1301, nor with other wealthy Alberegno who owned some houses around the homonymous court in fondamenta degli Ormesini or who had some tombs in the Servi.
