Biagio d'Antonio da Firenze, St. Jerome in the Wilderness, ca. 1476, tempera on panel, 55 1/2 in. x 20 7/8 in. (141 cm. x 53 cm.), This large and impressive painting was once the left door of a now-dismembered three-partite altarpiece that most likely had an enthroned Madonna and Child as its central panel. St. Jerome is depicted as a heroic figure, his posture inspired by the classic contrapposto, or weight-shift, found in ancient sculpture, accentuated by the clinging drapery that delineates the body beneath it
