Giovanni Balducci
(b ?Pisa; fl 1317/18–49). Italian sculptor. He is
first documented in 1317/18 in the cathedral
workshop in Pisa, where he was being paid a modest
daily wage. In 1349 he was asked, while living in
Milan, to take charge of the cathedral works in
Pisa, but he was still resident in Milan towards the
end of 1349, and he may have died there soon
afterwards. His style is known from four signed
works, which have formed the basis for a
reconstruction of his oeuvre: the tomb of Guarniero
degli Antelminelli (c. 1327–8) in S Francesco,
Sarzana; the pulpit in S Maria del Prato in San
Casciano, near Florence; the shrine of St Peter
Martyr (dated 1339) in S Eustorgio, Milan; and the
architrave (1347) from the main portal of S Maria di
Brera, Milan (fragments in Milan, Castello Sforzesco).
Giovanni developed a distinctive, slightly mannered
modelling style based on that of Giovanni Pisano,
but he made no attempt to adopt the latter’s
powerful plasticity and dramatic expressiveness.
Through his work in Milan, he introduced into
Lombardy the formal vocabulary of Tuscan Gothic
sculpture, of the kind that had been developed by
Nicola and Giovanni Pisano and by such Sienese
sculptors of the early 14th century as Gano di Fazio
and Tino di Camaino.

Jacobello dalle Masegne
Italian family of sculptors and
architects. Jacobello [Giacomello; Jacobellus;
Jacomelo] dalle Masegne ( fl from 1383; d after
1409) and his brother Pierpaolo dalle Masegne ( fl
from 1383; d c. 1403) were the sons of Antonio dalle
Masegne, a stonemason in Venice. They usually
undertook and signed their major commissions
together, as was the common practice in Venice for
family partnerships. However, although there is no
documentary evidence to prove it, it is possible to
recognize their individual styles in separate
sections of their collaborative works.
