Jacopo strove to capture the mysterious and mystical nature of Christianity. His highly formalized, linear Byzantine style Virgin has a piercingly beauty, with a melancholy look, and a crown and a golden halo. His depiction of the Virgin was as a caring mortal, a compassionate, loving mother against a background of bright gold. He was a younger brother and follower of Andrea Orcagna.
Most prominently featured in his work are the holy figures of the Christian faith--the -Christ, Saints, The Cross, Virgin Mary, Chalice, Keys, The Anchor, Wheat , The Good Shepherd, The Apostles, Animals, Fish, Angels, Birds, Insects and Satan.
