La Dernière Communion de saint Jérôme

early 1490s
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 604
Élève de Filippo Lippi, Botticelli est peut-être le plus connu des peintres du début de la Renaissance. Cette œuvre représente saint Jérôme mourant, soutenu par d’autres moines, dans sa cellule d’un monastère près de Bethléem. Le tableau a été peint pour Francesco del Pugliese, un lainier florentin. Adepte des doctrines radicales du prédicateur Savonarole, c’est peut-être lui qui avait choisi le sujet, pour son contenu profondément religieux. Le cadre, d’un exceptionnel raffinement, a été sculpté dans l’ atelier de Giuliano da Maiano, et la lunette est due au pinceau de Bartolomeo di Giovanni, collaborateur occasionnel de Botticelli.
