• Source: St Margaret of Antioch with Two Saints

St Margaret of Antioch with Two Saints is a 1530 oil on panel painting by Moretto da Brescia on display on the side-altar of St Jerome in the church of San Francesco in Brescia. To the left of Margaret of Antioch is shown Saint Jerome, whilst to the right is Francis of Assisi.
It originally stood on the side altar dedicated to St Margaret in the same church, where it was recorded in 1630 by Bernardino Faino, who called it a "beautiful and delicate thing". It was also recorded in its original location in 1660 by Francesco Paglia and in 1700 by Giulio Antonio Averoldi, with the latter calling it an "incomparible panel [...] in the taste of Raphael". The last source to record it on this site is an 1834 guidebook by Alessandro Sala, whilst the first to record it in its present position is Federico Odorici in 1853. There it replaced a painting by Callisto Piazza which had transferred to the Lechi collection and is now in Milan's Pinacoteca di Brera, which acquired it in 1829.
