he received payment for the shutters of the crucifix of the Duomo. 1 Giacomo del Pellicciaio who in 1373 was appointed to tax the value of one of Luca di Thome’s pictures, 2 3 4 falls into the same class with him as to style, but a step lower in talent. Enrolled after Lippo Vanni, and before Luca in the guild of Siennese painters, he appears in numerous re cords between 1362 and 1389, 3 assisting Bartolo di Maestro Fredi in ornamental painting at the Duomo in 1367. 4 Of interest, as showing his third rate talent, is a very damaged Coronation of S. Catherine with numerous saints in the Academy of Sienna 5 inscribed: “Jachobus Mini de Senis pinxit anno domini MCCCLXII tempore presbiteri Mathei Bectoris Sancti Antonici.” This altarpiece, originally painted for the church of S. Antonio at Fontebranda is of a hard colour and much repainted. Of the same class and one year later in date as Milanesi proves, 6 is the Madonna called “Del Verde” now in the Servi at Sienna. The infant, in the act of benediction sits on the Virgin’s knee; and four angels guard the throne. The colour is clear and rosy, the ornament copious, and the execution careful, clean and flat as that of a miniature. A contract for an altarpiece for the church of the monastery of Passignano in 1372, re presenting the descent of the Holy Spirit and numerous Saints has been preserved. 7 Giacomo painted hook covers for the Biccherna like Guido and Dietisalvi, 8 furnished a design for the “opera” in 1382, and with others of his class was two or three times elected to the grand council of Sienna. Of Paolo di Giov. Fei, enrolled with the early painters of Sienna, nothing exists but the records. 1 Ibid. Vol. I. p. 28. He re ceived 6 florins of gold 31 soldi. 2 Ibid. 3 Ibid.
