The Dead Christ Adored by Saint Jerome and Saint Dorothy or Saint Jerome and Saint Dorothy Adoring Christ in the Tomb is a 1520-1521 tempera verniciata on canvas painting by Moretto da Brescia. It is on show above the left-hand side door to the church of Santa Maria in Calchera in Brescia, though it is not thought to have originally been produced for that church as neither Jerome nor Dorothy had an active cult in that parish [1] and they rarely appear in art together. [1]
Though no documents survive to back the hypothesis, it is highly probable that it was originally produced as a small altarpiece for the oratory of the Confraternity of Divine Love, which was active in the city in the 16th century and in which Moretto had several friends. [1] This Confraternity was linked to St Jerome and St Dorothy - its original core was formed at Santa Dorotea church in Rome and its prior was elected on St Jerome's feast day. [1] The date of its move to its present location is unknown, though it must have occurred by 1630, when Bernardino Faino saw it there and mentioned it in his guidebook to the city.

There is then no further mention of it in the written record until the 19th century, in studies by Carl Ransonnet in 1845 and by Stefano Fenaroli in 1875, which state it was by then in the church of Sant'Andrea - it had probably moved between 1782 and 1790 when the parish church was rebuilt in its present form.
