Transfiguration, St Jerome, St Augustine 1500

Sandro Botticelli’s *Transfiguration, St Jerome, St Augustine*, painted around 1500, depicts the biblical story of the Transfiguration of Christ. In the central panel, Christ is shown ascending to heaven, radiating light, with Saint John the Baptist and a bearded figure to his sides. At the bottom of the central panel, three disciples look up in awe at the transforming Christ. The left and right panels show Saint Jerome and Saint Augustine, respectively, both engaging in scholarly pursuits. The painting showcases the early Renaissance style, with intricate details and harmonious compositions. *Transfiguration, St Jerome, St Augustine* is housed in Palazzo Pallavicini-Rospigliosi in Rome.
