1495 (ca.), Filippino Lippi, The Penitent St. Jerome -- Uffizi Gallery (Florence)
From the museum label: The frame of this painting, which we may identify with "the beautiful St. Jerome" that Vasari tells us the artist painted for the Badia Fiorentina, bears the arms of the Badia on the right and the arms of the Ferranti family on the left. Filippino Lippi's interpretation of the penitent St. Jerome theme, which was hugely popular in the late 15th century, is particularly dramatic, reflecting the intellectual climate fueled by the preaching of Fra Girolamo Savonarola. The picture was moved from the Badia to the Galleria dell'Accademia in 1810, and from there to the Uffizi.
