 As proof of his prominence, in 1412 the Venetian signory employed Jacobello with an annual salary of one hundred ducats, a stipend that was later reduced to 50 ducats because of Venice's war with Dalmatia.Between 1409 and 1415, Jacobello is believed to have been commissioned to decorate the Sala del Maggior Consiglio (Hall of the Great Council) in the Doge's Palace, putting him in direct contact with advanced mainland painters such as Gentile da Fabriano, Pisanello, and Michelino da Besozzo.The influence of Fabriano and Michelino can be seen in Jacobello's previously mentioned 1409 "Polyptych of the Blessed Michelina" and in the later "Virgin of Mercy between Saints John the Baptist and John the Evangelist" in the Accademia of Venice, likely painted in the mid 1410s.
