The "Diptych: St. Jerome" is a notable work attributed to the early 15th-century Italian painter Lorenzo Monaco, dating approximately to around 1420. Lorenzo Monaco, born Piero di Giovanni, was a prominent figure in the late Gothic period, known for his contributions to the International Gothic style that flourished in Italy during his time. His works are characterized by their elegant lines, vibrant colors, and a refined sense of detail, which are evident in this diptych.

The diptych format, consisting of two panels hinged together, was a popular medium during the medieval and early Renaissance periods, often used for private devotion. In this particular diptych, St. Jerome, one of the most venerated Doctors of the Church, is depicted. St. Jerome is traditionally recognized for his translation of the Bible into Latin (the Vulgate) and his extensive theological writings. He is often portrayed in the wilderness, engaged in scholarly work, or in the act of penance, reflecting his ascetic lifestyle.

Lorenzo Monaco's depiction of St. Jerome is imbued with a sense of spiritual intensity and meticulous attention to iconographic details. The saint is typically shown in his cardinal's attire, with symbols such as the lion, representing the legend of his taming a lion by removing a thorn from its paw, and the skull, symbolizing his contemplation of mortality. The background and surrounding elements in the diptych are rendered with Monaco's characteristic use of gold leaf and intricate patterns, enhancing the sacred and contemplative atmosphere of the piece.

The "Diptych: St. Jerome" exemplifies Lorenzo Monaco's mastery in blending the devotional with the decorative, creating a work that is both spiritually profound and artistically exquisite. This piece not only reflects the religious fervor of the period but also highlights the transition from the Gothic to the early Renaissance in Italian art.
