DALLE MASEGNE, Jacobello
(d. 1409, active in Emilia)

South façade balcony

1400-04
Stone
Palazzo Ducale, Venice

Despite the ravages of the two fires of 1574 and 1577, the south wing of the Palazzo Ducale preserves its original external appearance. The only major change has been the insertion of the 'finestrone' ((large window) by Jacobello and Pierpaolo Dalle Masegne in 1404. The spacing of the window openings suggests that this central axis was probably planned at the outset.
