"St. Jerome Appearing to St. Augustine" is a notable tempera and gold on panel painting created in 1465 by the Italian artist Giovanni di Paolo. Giovanni di Paolo, a prominent figure of the Sienese School, is celebrated for his distinctive style that blends Gothic traditions with early Renaissance innovations. This particular work exemplifies his mastery in combining intricate detail with a rich, luminous palette.

The painting depicts a mystical vision experienced by St. Augustine, one of the most influential Church Fathers and theologians of the early Christian Church. In this vision, St. Jerome, another revered Church Father known for his translation of the Bible into Latin (the Vulgate), appears to St. Augustine. The scene captures a moment of divine revelation and spiritual communion between the two saints, underscoring themes of piety, scholarship, and the transmission of sacred knowledge.

Giovanni di Paolo's composition is marked by its meticulous attention to detail and the use of gold leaf, which imbues the scene with a celestial quality. The figures of St. Jerome and St. Augustine are rendered with a sense of reverence and solemnity, their expressions and gestures conveying a profound spiritual encounter. The background features an elaborate landscape, typical of Giovanni di Paolo's work, which adds depth and context to the narrative.

The painting is also significant for its iconographic elements. St. Jerome is often depicted with a lion, a reference to the legend of his taming a lion by removing a thorn from its paw, and this symbol is present in the artwork. St. Augustine is shown in his bishop's attire, emphasizing his ecclesiastical authority and scholarly contributions.

"St. Jerome Appearing to St. Augustine" is housed in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, where it continues to be a subject of study and admiration for its artistic and historical significance. The work not only reflects Giovanni di Paolo's artistic prowess but also offers insight into the religious and cultural milieu of 15th-century Italy.
