The Holy Family with Saint Jerome is a 68 by 56 cm oil on poplar panel painting by Correggio. It dates to around 1515 and is now displayed in the East Closet of Hampton Court Palace as part of the Royal Collection. It has similarities with the Holy Family with the Infant Saint John the Baptist and so it probably dates to around the time Correggio painted the frescoes in the Camera di San Paolo or possibly slightly earlier. [1] It shows the Holy Family and saint Jerome.
It can be identified with the "canvas ... painted with the Madonna with the [Christ] Child in her arms, saint Jerome and saint Joseph, with a carved golden frame 72 V[incenzo]" mentioned on a list of paintings owned by Vincenzo I Gonzaga as of 23 January 1627. It is unknown whether or not it entered the Gonzaga collection thanks to Vincenzo I, but given his interest in Correggio it seems the most plausible hypothesis - he definitely acquired the same artist's Madonna and Child with Saint Francis and the Rest on the Flight into Egypt , for example.
The Flemish art dealer Daniel Nys was tasked by Charles I with acquiring the Gonzaga collection and easily recognised it as a work by Correggio despite its lack of a signature. His correspondence mentions a Madonna by Correggio with the head of St. Joseph which for unknown reasons was one of the works which had not reached Nys at Venice - this seems to be The Holy Family with Saint Jerome. The fact that Nys wrote in 1628 lamenting the work's absence and stating "it must be found" shows the high value he placed on it.
The painting eventually reached Britain and entered Charles' collection - his coat of arms is on its reverse, though it is not mentioned as being by Correggio in the inventory of Charles' collection. It is however referenced as by 'Coregio' in the appraisal of Charles's goods sold by Parliamentarians between 1649 and 1652, as noted by BL Harley MS 4898 (f.90v). The painting was sold to 'Mr Procter' for £58, while appraised at £50. [2] It was re-identified as a work by Correggio in 1870 by Jean Paul Richter and his attribution has been followed by all subsequent art historians. [3]
Antonio Allegri da Correggio, usually known as just Correggio was an Italian Renaissance painter who 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 sixteenth century. In his use of dynamic composition, illusionistic perspective and dramatic foreshortening, Correggio prefigured the Baroque art of the seventeenth century and the Rococo art of the eighteenth century. He is considered a master of chiaroscuro.
Andrea Mantegna was an Italian painter, a student of Roman archeology, and son-in-law of Jacopo Bellini.
Lorenzo Lotto was an Italian painter, draughtsman, and illustrator, traditionally placed in the Venetian school, though much of his career was spent in other north Italian cities. 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.
BartolomeoMontagna was an Italian Renaissance painter who mainly worked in Vicenza. He also produced works in Venice, Verona, and Padua. He is most famous for his many Madonnas and his works are known for their soft figures and depiction of eccentric marble architecture. He is considered to be heavily influenced by Giovanni Bellini, in whose workshop he might have worked around 1470. Benedetto Montagna, a productive engraver, was his son and pupil and active until about 1540. He was mentioned in Vasari's Lives as a student of Andrea Mantegna but this is widely contested by art historians.
Francesco Francia, whose real name was Francesco Raibolini was an Italian painter, goldsmith, and medallist from Bologna, who was also director of the city mint.
Girolamo Francesco Maria Mazzola, also known as Francesco Mazzola or, more commonly, as Parmigianino, was an Italian Mannerist painter and printmaker active in Florence, Rome, Bologna, and his native city of Parma. His work is characterized by a "refined sensuality" and often elongation of forms and includes Vision of Saint Jerome (1527) and the iconic if somewhat anomalous Madonna with the Long Neck (1534), and he remains the best known artist of the first generation whose whole careers fall into the Mannerist period.
Museo di Capodimonte is an art museum located in the Palace of Capodimonte, a grand Bourbon palazzo in Naples, Italy designed by Giovanni Antonio Medrano.

It is one of the largest museums in Italy. The museum was inaugurated in 1957.
Lorenzo Leonbruno, also known as Lorenzo de Leombeni, was an Italian painter during the early Renaissance period. He was born in Mantua (Mantova), an Italian commune in Lombardy, Italy. Leonbruno is most well known for being commissioned by the court of Francesco Gonzaga, Marquis of Mantua, and his wife Isabella d'Este. The patronage continued with their eldest son Federico II Gonzaga, who was the fifth Marquis of Mantua. Leonbruno was the court painter for the Gonzaga family from 1506–24.
Francesco Bonsignori, also known as Francesco Monsignori, was an Italian painter and draughtsman, characterized by his excellence in religious subjects, portraits, architectural perspective and animals. He was born in Verona and died in Caldiero, a city near Verona. Bonsignori's style in early period was under the influence of his teacher Liberale da Verona. After becoming the portraitist and court artist to the Gonzaga family of Mantua in 1487, his style was influenced by Andrea Mantegna, who also worked for Francesco Gonzaga from the 1480s. They collaborated to execute several religious paintings, mainly with the theme of Madonna and Child. The attribution of theportrait of a Venetian Senator was debatable until the last century because of the similarity in techniques used by Bonsignori and his teacher Mantegna. During the phase of his career in Mantua, there is an undocumented period between 1495 and July 1506 with no official record regarding his activities by the court of Mantua. Bonsignori's late style was decisively influenced by Lorenzo Costa in terms of form and color. He produced his last monumental altarpiece the Adoration of the Blessed Osanna Andreasi in 1519 shortly before his death.

The Master of the Lille Adoration, was an Early Netherlandish painter active in Antwerp, as one of the Antwerp Mannerists. He was first suggested as a distinct but unknown figure in 1995 in an article by Ellen Konowitz, a proposal which has been widely accepted.
