BELLI portrait of the artist with his wife and three sons. His eldest sou, Cornelis Jacobzen, painted still life, and his second son, Rochus Jacobzen, portraits. Kugler (Crowe), i. 257. DELLI, DELLO (Danielle), Cavaliere, born in Florence about 1404, died after 1464. Florentine school. In 1424, NiccolS Delli's father, having surrendered the fortress of Montecerro in the Tuscan Romagna to the Duke of Milan, was sentenced to death, and fled to Siena, where his son made himself known by casting a brazen figure to strike the hours for the clock-tower of the palace. About 1427 Dello went to Venice, and then to Seville, Spain, where he spent many years, became rich, and was made Cavaliere, a title which was recognized in Florence in 1447. Before returning to Spain in the following year he is said to have painted twenty-four frescos from the book of Genesis in the so- called " green " cloister of S. M. Novella, considerable vestiges of which still remain. These frescos, on the south and west walls, are like those by Paolo Uccello upon the other sides of the cloister, painted in shades of green hatched with white lines. Milauesi recognizes two different painters in the fres- cos attributed to Dello, and Crowe and Cavalcaselle doubt if they can have been painted by him after his return from Spain in 1446, as they appear to be the work of an unformed hand. He characterizes the con- ceptions as "petty," and the execution as rude and hasty. The Shern in the fresco of the Drunkenness of Noah by Paolo Uccello is said by Vasari to be the portrait of Dello. The same writer says that Dello painted furniture and marriage-chests like other ar- tists of his time. The glazed terra-cotta bas-relief of the Coronation of the Virgin over the doorway of the church of S. Egidio, Florence, which Vasari attributes to Dello, is by Bicci di Lorenzo. Vasari, Ed.
