"Portrait of Girolamo Savonarola" is a painting by the Italian Renaissance artist Fra Bartolommeo, created in 1498. The artwork is a representation of the Dominican friar and preacher Girolamo Savonarola, a notable religious and political figure in Florence during the late 15th century. Savonarola was known for his prophecies of civic glory and calls for Christian renewal, as well as his campaigns against the secular art and culture of the time, which he believed were corrupting society.

The portrait is executed in oil on panel and is a testament to Fra Bartolommeo's skill in capturing both the physical likeness and the intense, fervent spirit of its subject. In the painting, Savonarola is depicted with a stern, penetrating gaze that reflects his fiery oratory and uncompromising moral stance. His austere black robe and cowl, traditional attire for a member of the Dominican order, are rendered with meticulous attention to texture and form, emphasizing the somber and ascetic nature of his character.

This work is particularly significant as it was created during a tumultuous period in Florence's history, a time when Savonarola had a profound influence on the city's political and religious life. After the fall of the Medici dynasty, Savonarola's calls for reform led to the establishment of a short-lived theocratic government, which was eventually overthrown, leading to his execution in 1498—the same year this portrait was painted.

The "Portrait of Girolamo Savonarola" by Fra Bartolommeo is not only an important piece of Renaissance portraiture but also serves as a historical document, providing insight into the complex interplay of art, religion, and politics at the dawn of the 16th century. The painting is housed in the Museo di San Marco in Florence, Italy, where it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and cultural significance.
