This altarpiece was painted for the burial chapel of the Rucellai family in the new church of S. Pancrazio, Florence, belonging to the Vallombrosans, an order of reformed Benedictine monks. Saint Jerome is represented in the background, deep inside his cave, as well as in the foreground. The entrance of the cave is protected from a wild bear by the saint's lion. The figure on the hill with an ass may be Joseph. There is a hospital in the distance on the right, perhaps associated with the charities of Saint Dominic. A bird carries a worm to its young in the nearest tree. The predella is original. The lamenting Saint Francis & Saint Mary Magdalene flank the dead body of Christ, which is supported by Joseph of Arimathaea. The body of Christ is placed in the centre of the predella, just above the place on the altar where the bread & wine of the Mass were placed. ...

An altarpiece depicting the Virgin of Loreto with Saints Jerome & Francis was commissioned from Perugino by Giovanni di Matteo Schiavone (died 7 June 1507) for a chapel to be built on his behalf in the church of Santa Maria de' Servi, Perugia. The executors' contract demanded completion of the painting by September 1507, but it is not known if it was delivered on time. It is possible the execution was not entirely by Perugino. ...

The Virgin & Child are clothed with the sun, perhaps in reference to the Woman & Child of the Apocalypse as described in the New Testament (Revelation 12: 1). Saint Anthony is shown with his attributes of a bell & a hog. This work may have been made for private devotion. It has been extensively restored.

The figure of Saint John the Baptist in this painting is derived from a picture ascribed to Giovanni Bellini in the Accademia, Venice. In the inscription, Previtali refers to himself as Bellini's disciple. Saint Catherine of Alexandria is shown holding a martyr's palm; Christ places a ring over her finger, recalling her vision of a 'mystic marriage' to Christ. ...

The Virgin And Child With Saints Print

This work was painted for the high altar of the Oratory of the Conception, Ferrara (attached to the church of S. Francesco) and was probably commissioned by Carlo and Camillo Strozzi. A lunette of the Pietà (Ferrara, private collection) has been associated with it. Narratives generally shown on the the lower edge of a large altarpiece, or 'predella', are here represented on the plinth of the throne. Unusually, they read from right to left, beginning with the Nativity and concluding with Christ among the Doctors. The Virgin was identified as the second Eve, through whom mankind would be saved, which is symbolised by the presence of Adam and Eve below her feet. The paintings beside the arch show the Sacrifice of Isaac and probably Esther before Ahaseurus. These Old Testament
episodes were believed to foreshadow Christ's sacrifice and the exceptional purity of the Virgin.
