Of Jacopo Del Sellaio Poem by Ezra Pound

Jacopo del Sellaio [Firenze, c.1441 – Firenze,1493 (buried in the church of San Frediano in Florence) ] was an Italian painter from the early Renaissance. Called ''Del Sellaio'' as his father was a saddler (''sellaio'', in Italian) . A pupil of Filippo Lippi, he fell under the influence of his contemporary and fellow apprentice Sandro Botticelli, imitating the latter's mannered elegance and lively colorism in narrative cassone panels and small devotional works.
