Santi Caterina d'Alessandria e Girolamo

Santi Caterina d'Alessandria e Girolamo (Saints Catherine of Alexandria and Jerome) is a double-saint panel by Crivelli likely from a dismembered polyptych, as most of his extant single-saint panels were originally part of larger multi-panel altar ensembles. Catherine — identifiable by her wheel and sword — and Jerome — by his lion and the Vulgate Bible — were among the most commonly depicted saints of the period. Crivelli's treatment of each gives them his characteristic combination of aristocratic bearing, sharp physiognomy, and elaborate ornamental dress.

Each saint receives the full Crivelli treatment: embossed gold halo, richly detailed garments, and attributes rendered with meticulous specificity. The painting technique combines Venetian-trained tempera precision with the embossed gesso decorative elements unique to Crivelli's practice.
