The name of Giacomo Pacquiarotti was separated by the efforts of researchers from the mythical Pacquiarotto, who worked in Fontainebleau, who previously attributed the works of Giacomo and another artist, Girolamo del Pacquia . After the Pacquiarotto section of the artistic heritage, art historians attribute very few works to Giacomo. Despite the fact that Pacquiarotti's art in its structure at first glance is closer to the 15th century than to the sixteenth century (it is generally accepted that it owes its formation to Bernardino Fungai ), Giacomo created his eclectic creativity that Renaissance mixture from which the art of Domenico Beccafumi developed .
A lot of archival information has been preserved about the life of Giacomo Pacquiarotti. Judging by them, the artist had a restless and restless character, sometimes pushing him into different adventures. In the chronology of his life, reports of his performance of any artwork are side by side with reports of Giacomo's participation in hostilities and political events. In 1514 he finishes painting the chapel of Piccolomini, and in 1519 he becomes a gonfalonier in Stalloreggi di Fuori; in 1526, Giacomo took part in military operations in Camogli against papal and Florentine troops; in 1528 he painted a picture for c. Santa Maria a Tressa, participated in the assault on the town of Montebenicki, and worked on the fortifications of Siena ; in 1529 he was imprisoned for treason, served his sentence in Talamon, was soon forgiven, but limited to living in Vitecchio; in 1530 he took part in a conspiracy of parties of libertins and popolans; in 1532 he worked on the paintings of the chapel of San Giovanni della Morte; in 1534 he was appointed head of the district of San Marco; in 1534 joined the Bardotti club, a rather dangerous group; in 1535, after the dispersal of this club, he was forced to hide, but in 1539 he was again appointed to an administrative post in Stalloreggi. A record dated August 17, 1540 reports his death. (1)
In the archival documents there is little information about Giacomo’s major paintings, his participation in the creation of standards and flags for public rituals and processions is more often mentioned, due to which he is known as a “designer of processions” among specialists. The number of works by Pacquiarotti that have survived to this day is small. Among them, first of all, the fresco “ Madonna and Child on the Throne and with the Saints”, which is now in the Museum of Archeology in Casole d'Elsa, can be noted, it shows the influence of Umbrian painting, and the three-part altar painting “ The Meeting of Mary with Elizabeth , St. Francis and St. Michael ”(1510, Siena , Pinakothek ). Several works by Pacquiarotti are in private collections, as well as churches around Siena.
