Saint James the Great with Saint Jerome and a Saint Deacon (Lawrence?)

The painting, a detached fresco, comes from residual spaces (later incorporated into the convent of Santa Maria degli Angeli) of the Corpus Domini hospital, demolished by the Venetians in the early 16th century (1508) for reasons of military strategy. Due to some characteristics of the two minor figures, of which little more than the heads are outlined, the fresco would seem unfinished. The body of Saint James also vanishes in the lower part. It is as if the abandonment of the execution was lightning-fast and immediate, with stripes of brushstrokes with a completely authentic appearance, hatched, like at the beginning of a painting phase, suddenly suspended. The execution of the fresco must date back to at least thirty years before the Venetian order of the demolition.
