Vittore Crivelli was part of a large family of painters and was considerably influenced by his older brother Carlo, whose painting of Saint Anthony of Padua is on view in the next gallery. The younger Crivelli absorbed his brother's finely detailed style, which is visible in these paintings of Saints Peter and Jerome. Both were part of a large multi-panel altarpiece dedicated to the Virgin and Child, which was disassembled in the twentieth century.
