St. Jerome, St. Christopher and St. Augustine 1513

Giovanni Bellini’s *St. Jerome, St. Christopher and St. Augustine* is a 1513 oil painting in the San Giovanni Crisostomo, Venice. The painting depicts the three saints with St. Jerome seated at the top of the composition, working on a book, surrounded by a landscape. St. Christopher, who carries a young boy on his shoulder, is on the left, and St. Augustine, holding a book and a crosier, on the right. The iconic landscape and figures of this painting are hallmarks of Bellini’s later works, which show the artist moving away from earlier Venetian Renaissance styles.
