The work of the Master of San Miniato was first isolated by Bernard Berenson in 1913, who named the painter after an altarpiece in the small town of San Miniato al Tedesco, in the province of Pisa. Berenson identified eight works by the artist. Since then, the artist's corpus has been added to generously by numerous scholars, and his unique artistic personality has become clearer, even if his exact identity remains elusive.
The present Madonna and Child with Sts Francis and Jerome adoring the Crucifixion above in the lunette is typical of the artist's work, most of which was produced for private domestic devotion.
