"Saint Jerome and Saint Mary of Egypt: A Pair" is a notable work by the Italian Renaissance painter Arcangelo di Jacopo del Sellaio, also known simply as Arcangelo Sellaio. This artwork, created during the late 15th century, embodies the religious fervor and artistic innovation of the period, showcasing Sellaio's adeptness in capturing spiritual themes with emotional depth and technical precision. The painting is a diptych, a two-paneled piece that juxtaposes the figures of Saint Jerome, a Father and Doctor of the Church known for his translation of the Bible into Latin (the Vulgate), and Saint Mary of Egypt, a penitent saint who lived a life of solitude in the desert after converting from a life of sin.

Arcangelo di Jacopo del Sellaio, active in Florence from the late 15th to the early 16th century, was a contemporary of Botticelli and Ghirlandaio. He was known for his religious compositions, often imbued with a sense of piety and devotion reflective of the era's spiritual inclinations. "Saint Jerome and Saint Mary of Egypt: A Pair" exemplifies Sellaio's skill in portraying the saints with a profound sense of individual character and piety, set against a landscape that enhances the narrative of their lives of contemplation and penance.

The diptych format of the painting allows for a visual and thematic dialogue between the two saints, emphasizing their shared commitment to asceticism and the Christian faith, despite their different paths to sanctity. Saint Jerome is typically depicted in a study, surrounded by books and the lion from his hagiography, symbolizing his scholarly pursuits and his role in the Church. In contrast, Saint Mary of Egypt is often shown in a desert landscape, reflecting her years of solitary penance. Sellaio's work captures these elements with a keen attention to detail and a vibrant color palette that highlights the emotional intensity and spiritual depth of the subjects.

While the exact location and date of the creation of "Saint Jerome and Saint Mary of Egypt: A Pair" are subjects of scholarly research, the work is celebrated for its artistic merit and its contribution to the understanding of religious iconography during the Renaissance. It stands as a testament to Sellaio's mastery of religious narrative and his ability to convey complex spiritual themes through the medium of painting. The diptych remains an important piece for the study of Renaissance art, offering insights into the era's religious sensibilities, artistic styles, and cultural values.
