"St. Cosmas and St. Damian" (1534-1542) is a Renaissance painting by the Italian artist Dosso Dossi, whose real name was Giovanni di Niccolò de Luteri. This artwork is one of Dossi's most notable pieces, showcasing his mastery of color and composition, which were hallmarks of the Ferrara School of painting to which he belonged. The painting depicts the twin brothers and saints, Cosmas and Damian, who were revered as early Christian martyrs and patrons of physicians and surgeons.

The painting measures 215 x 190 cm and is currently housed in the Galleria Estense in Modena, Italy. It was commissioned by the Duke of Ferrara, Alfonso I d'Este, a significant patron of the arts and a contemporary of Dossi. The work is particularly noted for its vibrant use of color, a characteristic that Dossi was renowned for, and its dynamic composition that reflects the Mannerist style that was emerging during this period.

In the painting, Saints Cosmas and Damian are typically depicted with medical jars, referencing their association with medicine and healing. The brothers are shown in a moment of serene consultation, embodying the Christian virtues of charity and benevolence. The background of the painting may include architectural elements or a landscape, which were common in Dossi's work, providing a sense of depth and context to the figures.

Dossi's "St. Cosmas and St. Damian" is an important work within the canon of Renaissance art, exemplifying the transition from the High Renaissance to Mannerism and highlighting the distinctive style of the Ferrara School. It remains a significant piece for the study of 16th-century Italian art and the cultural history of the period.
