St. James the Greater" is a painting by the Italian Renaissance artist Benvenutoisi, better known as Garofalo, believed to have been completed around the mid16th century. It depicts James, son of Zebedee, one of the Twelveles of Jesus. The representation of James is indicative of Garofalo's painting style, illustrating high renaissance influences alongside individual characteristics that make his work distinctive. One of the distinguishing features of this painting is the use of color and light, a hallmark of Garofalo’s style, that leverages contrasting effects to bring a sense of depth and realism.

The painting depicts James in a pastoral setting, a frequent backdrop for religious works of this period. He is dressed in a finely detailed robe, decorated with elaborate folds and patterns, demonstrating Garofalo's mastery in intricate detailing. The attention to the minutest of details extends to the saint's face, where the artist captures an air of serenity and piety. The painting reflects the tradition of depicting saints, balancing a precise physical portrayal with an elevated, spiritual aura.

"St. James the Greater" is held in high regard by art historians for its demonstration of Garofalo's growth as an artist. It showcases the influence of his master, Raphael, and his ability to merge these teachings with his unique style. While Raphael’s influence is evident in the balance and harmony of the composition, Garofalo’s individuality shines through in the creation of realistic textures and his use of luminescent colors. The painting thus stands as a testimony to Garofalo's place in the Italian High Renaissance, contributing significant insights into the era's stylistic development.
