The "Stories of St. Jerome" is a fresco cycle painted by Alessandro Allori in 1577 for the Cappella di San Girolamo in the Basilica of Santa Maria Novella in Florence. The cycle depicts scenes from the life of St. Jerome, a prominent figure in the Catholic Church, known for his scholarship and translations of the Bible. The frescoes are an example of late Mannerist style, characterized by elongated figures and dramatic compositions, with a strong emphasis on light and shadow. They showcase Allori's skill in capturing the emotional intensity of religious narratives.
