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.

Where International Gothic often favored elegant elongation, stylized drapery, and symbolic ornamentation, Moser embraced a more naturalistic approach. 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.

The city was a vibrant hub for trade and artistic exchange, exposed to influences from Italy, France, and Flanders.
