Jacopo Torriti

Japanese: トリーティ（英語表記）Jacopo Torriti

Italian painter and mosaicist active in the late 13th century. Dates of birth and death unknown. There are few records of his life, but he is known for the mosaics in the apses of the Basilica di San Giovanni in Laterano and the Church of Santa Maria Maggiore in Rome. The latter's "Coronation of the Virgin" adheres to the Byzantine style in terms of gold background and color scheme, but also shows the influence of Cavallini, who was his contemporary. The murals of the Old and New Testament stories in the Senate of the Church of San Francesco in Assisi are also said to be his work, but there are many questions about their attribution.

13世紀後半に活動したイタリアの画家，モザイク師。生没年不詳。生涯に関する記録はほとんどなく，ローマのサン･ジョバンニ･イン･ラテラノ大聖堂とサンタ･マリア･マッジョーレ教会の両後陣モザイクで，その名を知られている。後者の〈聖母戴冠〉は，金地背景や配色において，ビザンティン様式を順守しているが，同時代のカバリーニの影響も見せている。なおアッシジのサン･フランチェスコ教会上院の旧･新約聖書伝の壁画も彼の作とされているが，その帰属に問題が多い。
