St Margaret of Antioch with Two Saints

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

St Margaret of Antioch with Two Saints is a 1530 oil on panel painting by

Saint Jerome, whilst to the right is Francis of Assisi
.

It originally stood on the side altar dedicated to St Margaret in the same church,[1] where it was recorded in 1630 by Bernardino Faino, who called it a "beautiful and delicate thing".[2] It was also recorded in its original location in 1660 by Francesco Paglia[3] and in 1700 by Giulio Antonio Averoldi, with the latter calling it an "incomparible panel [...] in the taste of Raphael".[4] The last source to record it on this site is an 1834 guidebook by Alessandro Sala,[5] whilst the first to record it in its present position is Federico Odorici in 1853.[6] There it replaced a painting by Callisto Piazza which had transferred to the Lechi collection and is now in Milan's Pinacoteca di Brera, which acquired it in 1829.[1]
