# St Jerome in his Study [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [GHIRLANDAIO, Domenico]() - Date: 1451-1500 - Technique: Fresco, 184 x 119 cm ## Commentary In 1480 Ghirlandaio frescoed in the church of Ognissanti \(All Saints\) a St Jerome that rivalled the <A onclick="return OpenOther\('/html/b/botticel/21/5augustu.html'\)" HREF="/html/b/botticel/21/5augustu.html">St Augustine</A> which Botticelli had painted there a short time before. This work, which was accomplished with excessive ease, is superficial and full of objects that suffocate and impoverish its impact. The direct comparison with the Botticelli Saint serves merely to underline an unsatisfactory period for Ghirlandaio. ## Related artworks - [Adoration of the Child]() - [Adoration of the Magi \(detail\)]() - [Adoration of the Magi \(detail\)]() - [Adoration of the Magi \(detail\)]() - [Adoration of the Magi \(detail\)]() - [Adoration of the Magi \(detail\)]() - [Adoration of the Magi \(detail\)]() - [Adoration of the Magi \(detail\)]() - [Adoration of the Magi \(detail\)]() - [Adoration of the Magi \(detail\)]() - [Adoration of the Magi]() - [Adoration of the Magi]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
