Virgin and Child with Saints Jerome and Nicholas of Tolentino

Virgin and Child with Saints Jerome and Nicholas of Tolentino is an religious painting by Lorenzo Lotto, created around 1523–1524 during the High renaissance period. Executed in oil on canvas, it captures a tender religious scene emphasizing devotional intimacy. The painting, once part of the Dawkins collection in Oxford and later the Heinemann collection in New York, is now housed in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. Lotto’s expressive figures, vibrant colors, and balanced composition reflect the mastery characteristic of the High renaissance, making this work a significant example of religious art from the early 16th century.
