# Last Communion of Saint Jerome is completed about 1495 as a small sacred panel later in the Met

Date: 1495

## The fact

The Met object page records Botticelli’s Last Communion of Saint Jerome. Britannica independently places late sacred works in the 1490s.

It is one event.

## Context

A penitential communion scene is a knowledge-and-devotion path in Savonarolan-era Florence. Shared workshop finish remains possible.

[Sandro Botticelli](/people/sandro-botticelli)’s documented role is bounded by other offices and collaborators named in the sources below. Sharing a field with them is not a reason to drop a documented act, and it is not a reason to assign later consequences done in the name after death.

Met collection dates the panel c. 1495. Later museum accession is not the painting act. One small panel, one Fact.

Named person as heading of the dated public instrument. Later editors, museums, printers, or offices share publication. Complex where later carriers are the surviving public file.

## What is established and what is not

Established as a sourced public record of this instrument at the date assigned here.

What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions.

The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit.

Established here: a sourced, dated public instrument with a named contribution by Sandro Botticelli.

They are not a public rating.

Sandro Botticelli did not file a later UNESCO form, a later Loeb colophon, or a later museum label as a personal act. A portrait or conventional bust is not this mechanism. Allegation, reconstruction, and established occurrence stay distinct. Museum is carrier. Split from Mystic Nativity. Keep the carrier date of later English distinct from the received historical year stored in the date field. Do not read a later English edition as a recovered autograph of Sandro Botticelli.
