This circular composition, with its depiction of the Virgin Mary cradling the body of Christ, blends Northern European and Sienese artistic influences into a harmonious whole.

He played a crucial role in introducing the Limbourg brothers – Herman, Paul, and Johan – to Philip the Bold's service around 1400.

Jacopo's dedication extended beyond commissions; he actively participated in shaping Florence’s cultural landscape through his involvement with the cathedral workshop and his role as consul of the Arte dei Medici e Speziali (1384, 1387, 1392). His commitment to procuring marble for the cathedral underscored his understanding of artistic grandeur and civic responsibility. The dispersed predella depicting scenes from Saint Peter’s life – a collaborative effort with Niccolò di Pietro Gerini – remains a poignant reminder of Jacopo's artistic legacy and the enduring power of Florentine Gothic art.

The landscape backgrounds, though still somewhat conventional, demonstrate an increasing attention to spatial depth and atmospheric perspective – qualities that foreshadow the developments of Early Netherlandish painting. However, scholars generally agree that he was exposed to both the late Gothic traditions prevalent in Southern Germany and the emerging artistic trends emanating from Flanders.
