Saint Jerome in Penitence is a signed oil on panel painting by Italian Renaissance artist Lorenzo Lotto, created c. 1509. It is now in the Museo nazionale di Castel Sant'Angelo in Rome, to which it was donated by a private collector in 1916. [1]

Undated by the artist, it was probably produced during the painter's stay in Rome and shows the influence of other artists then active at Pope Julius II's court, most notably Raphael. Its commissioner is unknown, though some hold it to be a variation on another Saint Jerome in Penitence (1506, Paris) by the artist, which has the saint seated in the landscape in a similar pose and in a similar red cardinal's robe.

Antonio Allegri da Correggio, usually known as just Correggio, was the foremost painter of the Parma school of the High Italian Renaissance, who was responsible for some of the most vigorous and sensuous works of the 16th century. In his use of dynamic composition, illusionistic perspective and dramatic foreshortening, Correggio prefigured the Baroque art of the 17th century and the Rococo art of the 18th century. He is considered a master of chiaroscuro.

He painted mainly altarpieces, religious subjects and portraits. He was active during the High Renaissance and the first half of the Mannerist period, but his work maintained a generally similar High Renaissance style throughout his career, although his nervous and eccentric posings and distortions represented a transitional stage to the Florentine and Roman Mannerists.

<i>The Vision of Saint Eustace</i> (Carracci) Painting by Annibale Carracci in the National Museum of Capodimonte, Naples

The Vision of Saint Eustace is a painting by Annibale Carracci, showing saint Eustace and his vision of a crucifix between the horns of a stag whilst out hunting. The saint is set in one of the first landscapes by either of the Carracci brothers, showing how he was influenced by Venetian landscape painting until about 1598 after a stay in the city in 1587 and 1588. Specific influences include Titian's Penitent Saint Jerome (Louvre) and the naturalism of Jacopo Bassano. Critics argue the composition is based on two prints by Cornelis Cort, a Flemish printer - Penitent St Jerome and The Vision of Saint Eustace. These prints were in turn based on ideas by the Lombard painter Girolamo Muziano, who was also influenced by Venetian models. The dogs and some other details are drawn from Saint Eustace, an engraving by Albrecht Dürer of the same subject.
