Saint Jerome is on a panel in the centre. To either side are Saints Damasus (as Pope), Eusebius, Paula and Eustochium (with a lily). Two donors, possibly father and son, kneel at prayer in the foreground. The father may be Gerolamo di Piero di Cardinale Rucellai (died 1497?), whose tomb is near where the picture hung.
NG 227.1 was almost certainly painted for the church of the Hermits of Saint Jerome (S. Gerolamo) of Fiesole at Fiesole. A date of about 1490 seems likely. The predella NG 227.2 has the Rucellai arms at each end and four narrative scenes: Jerome taking the thorn out of the lion\'s paw; his vision that he was beaten for still enjoying pagan literature; his death; and his appearance with Saint John the Baptist to Saint Augustine. (See Appendix B for a larger reproduction of this work.)
The frame appears to be the original one, but extensively remade and regilded in about 1850. The back of the altarpiece has a monogram that is probably a panel-maker\'s stamp. A drawing for Saint Jerome is in Budapest.
Recorded in the church of the Hermits of Saint Jerome of Fiesole, Fiesole, 1761, by which time the church had passed to the Bardi family; and in 1798 their property passed to the Ricasoli family; from whom bought, 1855.
